Is treating people equally such a bad thing?

I have been observing a lot of things happening around me lately. Amongst those that did take place, there is one thing that is concerning me a lot. People aren't treated equally, and given the same respect.

If you are at work and you observe the smooth talker regarded as elite what do you do? Is the guy at the corner or the middle of the office who is doing his or her work in silence a stupid person? People tend not to realize that we all have different personalities and if you colleague's personality is versatile then most of the time he/she will be the first person who gets a promotion or a raise. What about the silent hardworking dude who only talk when he/she want information from a colleague?

I believe good management start from home, if one especially a boss or a supervisor start treating his/her colleagues differently then that shows how well his/her family foundation is build.

Mandela vs. Obama

The title is low I know, but I saw this title on my way to lunch today. I got fierce. Actually the title reads as follows," Is Mandela = Obama?".

I had so much to say, but now I can't put everything on paper. The only thing I can say is that: Obama did not fight for freedom but Mandela did. Now I rest my case...

Clearly the person who wrote that title has no clue about History.

Importance of Family...

I have just realised something for these past days that I have been home with my folks and siblings. Family is very important and a man without a family which he can rely on, he aint got shit. Family can’t be chosen like friends can, friends come and goes but family stays forever. The fine thing is having a family that does not judge you. Judgement is harsh, but when you don’t get it from your close ones then you can concur all… Family should not be one’s last resort.

Craziness has striked again...

I just heard a very interesting line when I was watching Jerusalema, for the first time mind you. A movie every black person in South Africa is either talking about it or they so want to see it badly.

The conversation or rather lines that intrigued me goes like this:

Lucky Kunene: "... What's with you white people, you have nice houses, smart cars, fancy clothes, and you still come here".
(use your imagination what does he mean by come here if you have not seen the movie yet).

White lady: (Scared and relieved at the same time). "... When you are rich, poverty seems glamorous and it has a certain charm..."

Just right there, the white lady's reply got me thinking. I stop concentrating on watching the movie and my imagination started running wild. The reason being, I have lived and seen a couple of white people who think that it is cool to be black and poor.

I don't think if tables were turned, my beloved white ppl will be able to stand a black man's standard of living. I am just saying...

Today is the 31st of December, I am in Joburg and I have noticed something, people no longer celebrate xmas anymore, they are now putting more effort into partying the 31st away, until the morning baby. Well, that was me as always thinking aloud and getting out of tune. Let me go and iron my jean, clean my fab sneaker and head to the streets.... Ayooobanesssssss.

The Power of Money...

Everyday and night 4 individuals out of 5 are working hard to become rich. No one wants to be a loser, unfortunately when you are not rich or wealthy you are regarded as a loser. There are so many thing that can make one a success and as it just happens, money is one of those components but I bet to dissent.

Money isn't just luxury, it is power. For instance, each country depend on its GDP in order to sustain its economy. Managers, CEO, Directors do keep an eye on economic indicators to help them anchor their ships firmly at bay. Unfortunately most people do not know how to use the power money throws at them.

The most common mistake made by people with money is the illusion of thinking they can buy Love and Dignity since money can buy goods. Love and dignity are traits one have within and you cannot buy them. If you see people befriending you because of your money then the only thing you should know is that you are nothing without pesos. Friends will no longer be friends as soon as they sniff money no more.

People with money tend to look after themselves, they don't care whom they hurt along the way to richness or to what they perceive as happiness. Happiness I believe can be bought, its a pity a bought felicity does not last.

If you look amongst rich celebs, you will realize that they give a small fraction of their earnings to charities. Well, that is nothing but a publicity stunt. Some do give generously though and other give to make a difference.

Think of all the good that one can do in the world. That, lean to crop up to all those that aren't rich. Do you believe they live up to that dream as soon as the lady luck decide to shine upon them?

If money is power then I believe it should be used to do good in the world.
