My top 200 achievements

I’ve achieved so many things, I doubt I would be able to count them to 200, but let me try- I’ve been dared! 

Here goes….

I could write my name at the age 3, started school at 5, was top sprinter for my primary and second top sprinter in high school, ran the 1/14 100m race at 12, started high school at 12, left high school with more than 26 certificates and a floating trophy for best RCL member, was a tutor, made it to the highest leadership position bestowed on a learner in high school, took a gap year to decide on the best career choice, graduated, got a job, successful internship, got a promotion every two years at work and was account manager at 24 and a half- lol, bought a car…. What else….I can’t think anymore.

What Motivates Me

I wake up every day and think how fortunate I am to be going to a career orientated job and doing what I love.  I studied PR, but like most professions, each division and area of expertise has a field of interest.  You could be a PR or Marketing person at a law firm or university, or you could be a PR specialist for a big fashion house or IT company.  Well, what I’m trying to say is, I believe each person should always try to find their niche and do what motivates them and choose a career field best suited for them.  If you do this, you will never work a day in your life!

I am motivated by deadlines, smiles, happiness and decent people that make my job a lot easier to deal and get through the day.  I am also motivated by money- who isn’t?  I am also motivated by the good things in life and future ambitions – dreams make life and dreams come true.

the 10 most unexpected consequences of being online.

The Elephant in the Room lol

I laugh at moment like these.  They happen quite often in my friendship circle- so many personalities with conflicting minds and feelings. Every so often we meet and chat and drink and party and network- and and and! But quite often than not, we fight a lot and there is always an elephant hanging in the roof- but fortunately, our love for each other and for friendship sakes we always manage to bounce back and share the love.

Elephants in the roof or rooms are quite funny and are always moments silly at most times.  My advice to all those reading this note is to never try to never hold grudges and move on with whatever it is that occurred-think about the value of the friendship and whether or not you are willing to move on and forgive- be the bigger person- however, if all else fails- walk the elephant out the room and walk out of the friendship- family is a different case I’m afraid.

Every day is a good day

Each day is different.  We wake every morning and we do the same routine and prep for work to do wither the same thing or different and exciting new things daily.  For those who are in despair thinking about the unfortunate circumstances they encounter daily need not despair.  I believe a lot in the saying of “the mind is a powerful tool”  if you think of negative energies, you are bound to bring negative energy to yourself.  So treat every new day as a good day.

Smile at the annoying colleague who often says awful remarks at you or your work, treasure the moment, ignore the annoying background you encounter daily and think of positive thoughts all the time.  Life is too short.

Try a cliché

Who cares what people think and or what people will think of you when you do the ordinary and just be yourself or do what other people do?  I know it’s a cliché to do what everyone else does but I firmly believe there is nothing in doing the ordinary and what everyone normally find boring.  Yes it may be cliché, but clichés can sometimes be quite cool.

Try a cliché for a day and see what responses you will get from the people around you and those closest to you. You don’t ever need to think twice about some things in life, just tilt your head and do.  Often in life the things we do spontaneously are the ones we live to enjoy and treasure- so what, try one, it’s just a cliché.

Looks

Who cares how thing, big, ugly or pretty you are.  Every single definition of these words differs from one person to the next.   But yet we become constantly affected by the harsh definitions and context of each.  What is beautiful, society and marketing has affected our thoughts and perception by having this picture of light in complexion, red lips and shaped eyebrows, while ugly is usually defined as crooked, out of the ordinary and distasteful.  Who has the right to say fat people are not beautiful and that thin versions are more attractive.  What ever happened to different strokes for different folks? 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; if you feel beautiful you will possess that power and give that perception from others and those close to you.  Think about it- you’re beautiful.
