THE ART OF WAR: SM MASEKO

 Eventually you will have to fight. life is all about war, the things you have accomplished today are as a result of your victories of some war. you fought your way out of your mother`s womb you have somehow written a test, you went for an interview, the list goes on and on eventually leading towards your victories. a good fight is determined by the number of changes you have brought in to the broader spectrum of the community  obviously the changes have to be good.  if you spill blood for you to have a meal or have a nice car to drive and a nice house to live in   you are not participating in a war a war of life but you are showing how vulnerable you have become that you do not believe in your own strength to a point were you invite evil powers to cheat the system and fight for you.  

The big interview

    The is nothing as nerve wrecking like a job interview, you are required to prepare possible questions while at it you must figure out how to answer those questions by yourself, there are lot of dos and don’ts involved but the truth of the matter is that the is no right or wrong answer during a job interview session. Interviews are meant to assess the potential of a candidate and to check their knowledge about a particular field of work or responsibility. I was invited for a job interview in a certain company for a position of an Editorial Specialist and the questions that where asked during that interview were way different from what I have previously prepared. I was expecting something like “tell us about yourself, what are your strengths and weaknesses” but things went south and at this point I was frustrated because my preparations have been blown out. I had to stand on my toes and come up with a contingency plan to cover up for the blown plan, I completely ...

Where we come from .

Where we come from there's only one definition of success.   Your successful when you own a car and a personal home. But life doesn't always work like that .  Each person should have his own definition of success.   To me success is constant cashflows with growth. That's what matters to me.  I can get R500k first thing I think about is how do I turn that R500k to R2 million or how can I make atleast R50k a month from that R500k.  I would not buy a personal home with R500k unless I already have consistent cashflows.  You can use the R500K to start a business that can make you R50k a month or R20k a month use that R20k to save up to build your house.  Think about it. Motsepe is a billionaire but still goes around borrowing money.  Why? Why not use his own money and dry up his bank account? Because he understands that cashflow is leverage.  Your father dies . Leaves you with R1 million . You use that R1 million to build a house. A year...

Creative Thinking.

Formal Creative Thinking Of course it is possible to think creatively all the time. There are some people who simply fizz with new ideas and seem to see everything slightly differently from those around them. These are the people who are always asking ‘ Why? ’, and ‘ Why not? ’. They are natural problem-solvers and innovators. However, for most people, creative thinking requires more effort. They prefer to save their creative thinking for when it is really necessary. Typical examples of times when you might take the time to use creative thinking techniques include: When you are facing a major problem or issue , and you cannot see an obvious way forward. At times of change , when it is hard to see what might lie ahead, and you want to think about possible scenarios. When there is   a lot of disagreement  about what needs to happen next, and no compromise seems possible without a lot of effort. When you need something new , that hasn’t been tried before, but you are not sure wha...

Cowardice moves helps sometimes

Don't spend much time in the battlefield because you will exhaust your resources and be clumsy, fight then leave while you still have energy. There's an attack I call "lightning and thunder attack" it happens within a twinkling of an eye but makes a huge impact you never know where it comes from but when it attacks you hear the sound of a thunder that a lightning has struck. When one adopts this form of fights they increase their possibilities of winning in life most people stay much longer in their battlefield when they see that they are dominating and are in control of the situation but that is not good at all because you give the enemy enough time to study your moves and use them against you. Chapter one Take what you have and fight with it. Ever heard of David and Goliath story?, it is not about the amount of ammunition you have but the courage and capacity to go to the battle ground trusting what you have. Most often in times the enemy has a tendency of ...

The question of KARMA

Before God the creator could form a person he firstly founded a suitable place for him to stay putting into consideration everything that a men will need, that is why everything you see is for the benefit of men, the trees, rivers, animals and a whole lot of things that we can and cannot see was created to form comfort in the dwelling of men. Everything that might or will try to course discomfort into the lives of men God has already spoken to mother nature that what ever that is not balanced must be balance in the name of karma, this meaning that men are not to seek for vengeance because it is already in the system of mother nature, but for some reason if a man is eager to get revenge he also will be punished for doing that which is outside of his jurisdiction. On earth everything is available and ready what humans do is to just activate, when you pray God know already what you will say but he can't activate that which you don't want thus we have to pray without ceasing t...

THE HIDDEN TREASURE BENEATH THE EARTH

THE HIDDEN TREASURE BENEATH THE EARTH By Solomon Maseko Growing up I would hear stories about how bad mining is and how does it affect our health as community members, well, I have finally found the truth through MENAR Academy and the truth is, mining is awesome! Both for our pockets and the environment as well, yes ‘environment’, while on the excavation I was expecting dust and unfriendly situation but I was proven otherwise which led me to asking ‘‘why there is no dust but the machines are drilling?’’ the answer was simple and these are the words of the Khanye Colliery mine manager Guy Thompson ‘’because we want a healthy working environment for our employees we use the best of equipment’s to keep the space clean and dustless’’ simple. Mines play a huge role as well in the communities’ development programmes by developing infrastructure and enhancing the community member`s economic statuses by giving them sustainable jobs in the mines, on the other hand our governmen...

The 36-year-old HIV.

By Solomon Maseko Human Immune Virus (HIV) was firstly discovered in 1983, this meaning that we are currently in 2019 we have been knowing about this disease for 36 years but there is no cure even after three decades. The truth is that we either don’t have the cure at all or we have scientists who have no interest in putting their time in finding the cure. We have great technology we can change genders we have phones that can bend around our arms and some can detect heart beat yet an old dilapidated virus from 1983 still has no cure. 36 million people are infected with this disease, the ARV is a Multibillion-Dollar project meaning that if it happens that we find the cure many companies will be shut down and the source will run dry financially. These people don’t create cures but create customers that will forever depend on them, with the level of technology growing rapidly we can attach HIV and get rid of it just like that, I don’t know w...

THE PRICE TAG OF A SUNDAY SERVICE.

the Kanye West story. Letter to Christian Community. By Solomon Maseko Luke 14 v 26-27   “If you want to be my disciple, you must, by comparison, hate everyone else—your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple.   And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple. Jesus is calling people to follow him in discipleship, and then he’s reminding them that it’s like building a tower that you don’t want to leave half-finished because you don’t have enough commitment or enough resources to finish it. It’s like going to war and realizing you don’t have enough soldiers to win the battle and defeat the enemy. In January 2019, Kanye West began his Sunday Service performance series in Calabasas, California, with the choir group The Samples and other collaborators performing a combination of hymns and secular pop songs rewritten with Christian theme. Fol...

Heal our land The hate you give …

We are fighting the wrong enemy, a human being has never been an enemy in africa but the enemy is poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, drug abuse, slavery and all sorts of things that tortures human wellbeing in the society. The anger we show to our brothers and sisters is very wrong and evil, we did not choose where to be born and how we should be born that is the work of nature which we cannot come against. Let redirect our anger in fighting for economic emancipation, we need to come together and strategize as the continent of Africa but if we keep on calling each other by names that won’t help but it will aggravate the problems we are facing.  Let us think for the future generation, we either have to transfer the hate we give to each other or we start injecting the black love into the blood streams of our coming generations. The rocks that we throw at each other let us collect them and build strong borders across Africa, not within, the creators sees and receives what I ca...

The greatest gift šŸ¤—

I've been asked to write a piece on the greatest gift you can give to someone in this world and I was so happy to do that, now first things first money is not a gift šŸ“¦ jewelry, clothes and all tangible things are not a gift. A true gift is love, giving it all to a person whether you get it back in turn or not. Giving is not about you receiving at the as people say that you must give to be blessed, giving with expectations is not regarded as giving but regarded as investment. I've seen a lot of people being prisoned by words such as 'if you don't give you won't receive' well this has been miss-interpreted a lot of times, blessed people are those who give without expectations and they give out of the love... I have more on this topic and others feel free to ask me any questions Follow me and I will reveal stuff to you šŸŽ‚

Religions suppresses women but God frees them.

The constitution of almost all the religions is in favour of men that is why when you find a women caught in adultery in a particular religion is condemned but a man will never be condemned we saw the Pharisees in the bible judging a poor women caught in adultery they almost stoned her why they did not ask where a bouts of a men who committed adultery with her, some religions would never allow woman to preach.   I was so shocked to hear that some religions don’t allow women to come to church while in their periods calling them unclean, you can’t eat this you can’t touch that, that’s not God but that`s men putting words in God`s mouth God ordered us to love one another not to condemn each other, and let me tell you God is disappointed in men he trusted us to protect our women but now we rape them we abuse them that`s why God will raise a new generation of women who will poses both qualities of a man and a women the wonders women will perform I can`t even begin to explain . ...

the beauty of living a self fulfilling life.

"Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived." Do you feel like you’re “sleep-walking” through life? Do you wish you had more freedom? Do you wish you had more adventure? Do you wish you had  more time ? Do you wish you had   more love ? Do you dread Monday mornings? What you need to understand is that everything holding you to a life you don’t want to live is a prison created by your own mind. That doesn’t mean you can just wish yourself into a new life, but it does mean that you can actively work towards living life to the  fullest. 1.  Create a bucket list  and start checking things off.  You will die one day, but before you do, experi...

Black history month: what I think…

We have an untold history of black and white society, the only thing that we know is that   we have a racial imbalance history of which it doesn’t help us anymore but helps the politicians to score political points that’s why the system   is implemented in our schools, young children are told how we have been racially segregated by the whites but they are not put in a class of emotional healing because some of the events that took place around the era of segregation they have a negative influence in our young society and can instil anger and that leads to vengeance and there would be no peace in our world. Nature doesn’t not have a description of race: yes dictionaries have it but mother nature gives us benefits equally so, if a black man goes under a tree it doesn’t dry up and if a black man gets in into a river to swim he does not change the colour nature treat us fairly and it does not give us a definition of race and the reason why we should worry about our skin col...

If I do it on record time, know that there is a hand of God in it.

Letter to my self In this world we go through a lot and I mean a lot, have you ever wished that you could be someone else or maybe trade your life for something else, yeah that’s me right now, so much pressure I am facing. Have you ever prayed so hard that you run out of words to say to God? Well if you went through this you are one of our own. My strength is gone my mind wants to keep on pushing hard but my soul is down I think I have reached a rock-bottom, where do I draw my strength back   because even if I pray I still feel the same, that’s how life is right? Even though I pray a lot and not see the outcomes of my prayers I still have faith and trust in the Lord that if I come out of this situation on record time all the glory belongs to him and him alone because I have exhausted all my energy, put in more time. Well let me tell you I am a student and its hard right now, in a situation like this someone might do drugs or drink but I decide to write how I feel, ...
