It is a poor idea to lie to yourself

There is a lot of people who can lie to their teeth, some people can take it as far convincing themselves that they are not lying , while they fully know that they are lying to themselves.CPUT has a policy that say student must not plagiarize in doing their studies , but you will find student who would copy their friends work and pretend to their lecturers as if its their own work. They are aware they shouldn't be doing that but they do it.  When they complete their studies and get employement with good results, they can't do the work." It is a poor idea to lie to yourself". There is even those who are holding high position in government, who are trusted by the whole nation, but the very same people can take the almost fifty million inhabitants/citizens for a ride by lying to them. It is also important to know that people can lie to themselves, but at the end of the day, that will catch up with them for example the unrest in the African Arab states, those leaders who are now experiencing unrest in their countries we lying to themselves, because propagandas are about lying to yourself knowing fully well that something is not right, but continue to portray yourself as if it is right. Corruption is also lying to yourself or pretending as if you are genuine, knowing you are not.  

The sound of one hand clapping

My comprehension of this statement is that, as we live our lives and do all sort of things not like studying for example. There is a tendency for the world not to praise/appreciate our endeavors to succeed. There is nothing wrong with such things happening in our live and natural that those things should happen to us. So as we walk through this journey while our actions to some are an irritation and that sometimes can render us to dispare and not continue with what we have set ourselves to achieve. It is important in life to look or associate ourselves with that sound that is not heard. The sound of one hand clapping can’t make any noise, but when one tries to listen to it carefully it does make a sound and it does make an impact and most of us expect it only make a loud noise. It is very important to look for that hand that seeks to encourage us to more in our endeavor in this world. That hand some times for those who believe in Christianity as it is said we try all sorts of things which do not bear any fruit, but God is able, provided that we believe. God can be that one hand clapping.

Not all who wander are lost

This statement always refers to stereotypes and blanketing people whether it beliefs or any other form of stereotype including discrimination. We as people always associate certain behaviors with certain people and it’s wrong to just give blanket to whoever we come across because a certain individual behave a certain way or we were told that, a group of people have the following types of behaviors.

In fact this some time comes from our backgrounds for example apartheid in South Africa; you can just assume that all white people in South Africa supported apartheid that is just presumption. It boils down to what Martin Luther Junior said that, I have a dream that my four children will leave in nation that will not be judged with the colour of their skin, but with the content of their characters. To judge people in their action is a big danger which can result not really understanding what they are because it’s not scientifically tested finding and we all need to  careful of labeling anyone who wanders as lost

Although we accept human biasness , it is important to have a tested balance of our assumption, in other words such assumption must be followed by evidence to prove it.

About Me

My name is Siphiwo Freddie; I am employed by the City of Cape Town Municipality as a Professional Officer Public Participation Unit .At present I am a Public Relations Management student doing a BTech Degree at CPUT. I have been studying at CPUT since 2007 and then completed my National Diploma in 2009. I grew up in the Eastern, but now I live in Cape Town. I am married with two children, a boy who is ten years old and a girl of five. I am a person who is passionate about life and whatever challenge I come across in life I challenge it head-on, and the fact I challenge any barriers head on  that come my way , does not make a winner at all times. Sometimes I loose completely but loosing does not dampen my spirit in achieving or in my endeavors for success in life.

I believe that we all created in Gods image, and we all destined to succeed, it’s just that sometimes it becomes difficult for us as people to realize what we are good at  or where our success is.Some people die even without realising what they are good at, some realized it at an old age ,but still make it. The pains and the difficulties that we endure for our success sometimes it not a benefit to us, but for generations to come.

I would like to be seen by the public firstly as a professional, independent thinker, a man of good morals, but at the same time people must also acknowledge that I am also a human being, in other words I can also make mistakes.
