The prime elements of a disagreement in my vocab are respect and dignity, with now an added one being family profiling. This is informed by what keeps happening to the ones less privileged to fund their prolonged disagreements that ends up converted to battles that results in liability brackets. Reason why the less privileged gets treated like that is in that it ain't beneficial supporting a slim chance prospect. But then again, the pugnacity of today isn't same as that of then, see it in a different light with a deeper sense to the feel of its impact.
[Disagree with respect for your dignity]
[Truth that gives you growth]
'Life copies you, so, live your truth, nobody will lie in it' [1]. 'The only core of you is the truth' [2], and none can portray it better like you. Generally, anybody will tell you how truth is righteous but less will tell you about the honesty that's good for you, sadly. Know the secrecy behind truth and be right to its brutal rawness. Coming from there you'll see clearer in "we for me" weave and other psychological tacts played on you.
[Corporate leadership a new entertainment repertoire]
'Pray a prayer that luck by chance can hop into, not a prayer that hog doable out of its untroubled corner'[1]. Every relationship meets its growth and growth hates meeting maturity because it kills fun and freedom, that's why whenever we get serious then things start falling apart. That's exactly the reason why business leaders invests in fun team activities.
[The odd presenter out]
'It takes a million people to build a good reputation; but it takes one stupid fool to destroy everything they’ve done….’ How disappointing! Lost? Then try figure this one out:
_This is a sad and bitter narrative about me and you
Many of our locals leave the so-called ‘small and sleepy towns’ for city life in seek of better prospects. What I ask myself though, is that, where they originate from as home, don’t they have opportunities presenting themselves or presented to those left behind? Or is it a case of small towns failing to create opportunities for their residents and for those leaving?
So, not long ago or should I say a few years back, there was a presentation for businesspersons at Lebowakgomo Civic Centre hall about opportunities that are out there for business ideas to come to life, through loans and mentorship that is. What they offered was good but not a permanent and peaceful solution for start-ups out there unfortunately. This does not mean I promote laziness or something along those lines, just that there should be other added support products other than that. What aspiring entrepreneurs lack at most is emotional intelligence, financial literacy, sound compliance guidance and self prepping programmes atop of passion and business idea before finance and mentorship.
Mentoring someone with money already in hand is a recipe for failure as the person should have been capacitated beforehand. A business depends first on the persona of its runner before all else brought to the fore. Mentorship is only effective as a side-kick support not as a core tool.
_Odd presenter out
As the presentation went on, one of the presenters uttered some somewhat disturbing words. What he said was that: “they do not give loans to immoral businesses such as brothels and taverns”. For me, that was wrong of him to say, given the platform and the setting. Please people don’t get me wrong, but in business any income generating concern is viewed as a business in spite of its model. There's absolutely no need to judge other income generating concerns, especially as a speaker from an institution that is claiming to be in the business of growing other businesses. It sent a mixed message to be real. Given the environment, the negativity was just not a welcome and he did that sans anyone on the panel correcting that of him.
As a representative of an institution his message should be about the products they offer, their terms and conditions and criterion in a softer manner of approach, and not judge. If I am into the business of adult entertainment, should I be classified as immoral? If yes, then, what about my clientele? The same goes to the tavern owner. If you feel negative about something, as a leader you ought to have a sensitive way of sending your discomfort to those offenders sans hurting other people's feelings.
Being there in front of entrepreneurs they should be encouraging them, building their esteems and instilling the spirit of possibility, not crushing their hopes and dreams like the way that man botched them. Opportunity bringers do criticize but does so with informed pointers that leave opportunity seekers with an angle to work around.
It was not all bad as other presenters gave good presentations albeit with dodgy answers to some important posed questions. What some felt was that they did not prepare enough for the presentation but thankful yet for having taken the initiative to come and inform them of their presence in the province and what they had to offer.
In conclusion: ‘it takes a million lives to gather respect you deserve_when people see your kind, some of them would run a mile…’ the late Reggae icon Lucky Dube said in his song “Teach the world”. This is directed to the odd presenter out who got too comfortable after being lended some ears and ended up almost ruining his organization’s good name and intentions. I'm thinking of him because of the situation governments the world over are finding themselves in, joblessness stats keep rising whilst solutions aren't coming in fast enough to counter the scourge. Please treat those employment creators with the level of respect and courtesy they deserve. Funders, teach your representatives right, to make them spread the message of alive with posibilities further...dp
[Discriminatory quota system a necessity]
Blow the candle if you can, but the truth shall remain still illuminated in the smog of dim. The issue of quota a lushy hemp to smoke in court. The quota system has been at the centre of countless activities in many an organisation, with sports leading the fray, business in follow, and various institutions making up the chunky remainder.
[Hope is capital]
'Life is a concept, give it your idea of self and navigate through its many assigned courtesy routings in your path' [1]. This takes me to the paramount element of life, which is hope, shortened as "have open plan everyone" by this old man I once had sat next to in a minibus on a short trip one day. I never forgot that, it at times come back when times are a bit tough for me.
We at times mislead ourselves in the choices we decide upon in our paths, and end up frustrating our hopes. Of all things that keeps people glued together, no matter what their relation is between them, is hope and love. It may be out of common interest or any other reason, but, it is hope that gets us by as long as there's an end goal in the course. Hope is capital, hope gives shape to deportment in living beings, yet steals no straps of shine. We hope before many other wishes, we hope everyday.
[Bespoke is luxury re-experienced]
Time and again, most of us only hear about bespoke, we actually don’t know the feeling of it. In truest application, bespoke is rarely enjoyed as it’s for the select few who have endowed pockets, to put it bluntly; whereas luxury is a tailored feeling, an experience personalized, looking special, and made to civilly know who you are individually in nestled flippancy of expansive opulence. Bespoke is you, by them, for you; bespoke is cut out of what you’ve carved of self in the epitome shape of success.
The world is divided in two living standards, the have nots and the haves, and there’s nothing we can do about it in that it’s either you have or have not, and that not referring to sole confines of corporeal material things but also to intellect and your whole being, in that you have to think in gross and exude net opportune levity. As a person, you have to exist in one category and unfortunately if you fall into the majority are living a languid default type of life cast. Anything minority is exclusive, aspirational and treated as elite, and so should you be.
Having money is known by everyone but not enjoyed by just anyone. When you have money, you go through life laps in different lanes unfamiliar as others. The refined unfairness of life to the have nots is the discomforting fact that the moneyed pay less for leverage because they pay more for benefit, thus they’re made to experience their uphill status. Convenience, dignity, privilege, all fall from the basket filled with choice for the moneyed, reason simply being that they aren’t many and are easier to manage. What they get accustomed to is specificity that’s answered with attention-to-detail volume of diaphanous courtesy by custodians of luxury. In an expensive nutshell, luxury is an investment in premium objects of desire that’re purely targeted at a specific number and type of individuals with high return margins assurance. Luxury is a soft discrimination that offers ethereal safety to the haves because it knows class and market, and to those who knows it, luxury is an open highway statement of affluence. Trust me, to know it in feel of, you just have to attain it.
If are ever to be that lucky to be important for any brand, know you’ve made a mark. It’s not common for a brand to know you by name and do a product with you specifically in their minds. It takes purchasing power to make such happen to your life, and that’s bespoke. There’s no need to chain yourself around certain people as it’ll only deprive you the chance to enjoy your own degree of luxury. Bespoke is about you bringing out yourself and expressed through an object of desire to make it extraordinarily a representation of you. Luxury is about value, and bespoke is about price, so, uncloak your blinded self to rarity.
In conclusion: luxury is when your health matters to the
feeling provider and the stakeholder of experience, for them losing you an
expensive grind to article. Bespoke is about priced quality that makes you be
taken serious, being respected enough to be listened to, being given
preferential access, being a priority to others, and being followed out of
their own interest for the comfort of your impression to their gain. Luxury is
time in your sheer power, luxury is surreal taste acquired, luxury is ability
to possess high-ends, luxury is what you leave behind, and luxury is everything
you are that’s not everyone, because luxury is celebrated, and so is anything
that we’re not yet wish for. Be the reflection of hope and desire, luxury
doesn’t go beyond that in most at times; hence bespoke is luxury
re-experienced, just that the bottom-line is, not all of us can afford it...dp
