How do you step from the top of a 100-foot pole?


We all have in our life time experienced fear of the unknown and in order to succeed it the only thing that we must overcome. It is not an easily thing to do, it is always a barrier in our progress. While we were still young our mother used to take the first in terms of overcoming the fear of the unknown, by letting us to something , the first couple of year at school , one is being assisted to go , but later only to realize that , one just do it voluntarily. This is the challenge that we are faced with in our lives, because all these challenges will have to be overcome by us.
Its like when one find him/herself in an is unhappy situation such work, or marriage. Before we take a decision to leave the work or ask for a divorce we think twice as to what will be the outcome of the intended action while at the same we don’t think about what kind of freedom/joy it might bring in our lives once we get rid of the situation we find ourselves into it.This also refers to position of power , when you hear that somebody is a director , one just fear the big word and get intimidate with such word and that fear is what hinders ones progress in terms of career development.
In a nutshell, people must not fear something which they do not know or tested, including death itself , in order to succeed one must have curiosity to test new things in life

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.
Marketing of my Blog

·       Campaigns/lobbying
·       To show the good/human side in terms of action
·       Invite the public into a dialogue about a certain
·       Promote participatory democracy in policy/act  shaping
Comments on other blogs: Some are not clear what is the messages the writer is trying to express , may the barrier to that is language I really don’t know , but I think those who are computer developers , should also create some kind of dictionary to translate the language used some time so that it can  be understandable  and also to allow free flow of communication irrespective of the language.

NOT ALL WHO WANDER ARE LOST

 

When you leave you house or your office you always see those who are wandering whether it is in the mountains or in the corners of the street or anywhere for that matter, there shall always be people who are wandering. The fact that they are wandering does not mean they arelost , they are wandering for a number of reason, it can be for the purpose of finding a puropse in life , re-energise , strartegise or for number of reason.Some are wandering to conceptualise a business strategy which they intend to implement to take their business forward , some are employed to wander and that is how they make a living.What people are doing on the earth surfece, when trying to inteprete their action, one will find a number of reasons so we don't have to conclude that they are lost

we are what we do

We are what we do, this statement means that , the world around in which we and people around it perceive us the way we act.It is very important , that we conduct ourselves as people in a manner that does not ruin our reputation.Wherever you are an underdog in life ensure that conduct yourselves in disciplined manner.The values that we espouse to should be at all time what people see from , other than to advocacy for this tomorrow we are seen practising something different.Its like what most leaders are doing for example we are opposed to racism , but what they preaching is completely different to what they are practise in nutshe end up contradicting themselves  what is the impact of that in that leaders reputation.So it important that we don't fool ourselves and believe that vulnerable people can not analyse these thing and come to a conclusion. The saying  that first impression last long is also true , the first time people see you will be inscibed in their mind whether you we doing a good or bad thing , so watch your actions in everything you do, rather leave in their mind a good impression about yourself
