Is it really a small world as some usually say? Growing up, I used to think nothing more of who I dealt with, who I pleased or who I talked to- I’m referring to my high school and teenage years that is. This was until I met a friend of a friend, who was a friend of a friend who had happened to help out on a small favour that was kind of big and made an impact in a big way in my life.
This was also when I decided to treat others like I would want to be treated, never burn bridges and be a kind soul to all those deserving, because in life you never what to expect or what someone can mean to you in the near future.
This weekend alone, I met a young brother of an acquaintance of mine, who happened to be lectured by uncle, who happened to be looking for an internship, one that was in relation to his field of study that the company I work for is offering. One small chat lead to a connection and networking opportunity for the lad, and I was willing to help however I could, after all, that is how I landed my first job, and the rest is history.
A funnier story is that I’m now best friends, with my exes and neighbours boyfriend's cousin, funny how we are always intertwined hey? I laugh!
It is a small world Thabo believe me. A month ago I met at the gym,a guy who worked for a media house in PE, at that time I was spokesperson for Provincial Commissioner there, that was in 1998!! and now we are neighbours in Cape Town, small world really.
