“NOTHING IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN AN IDEA, WHEN YOU ONLY HAVE ONE IDEA”
I believe this is 100 percent true. What would happen if every person in the world only had one idea. Each person would pursue this idea for minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or even years and when one day they either figure out what to do with the idea or fail horribly at it, they will not know what to do next.
Every person on this planet would be clueless at some or other point in their useless lives. They will feel stupid and completely useless once they have completed what ever it was that their idea was to do or be in the first place.
This world would not exist at all if it weren’t for many people with many, many different ideas all floating around all being used at different times to create a universe worth living in. So please if you do anything in this life time make sure that is that you have more than one idea in your head.

WATCH THIS SPACE
When I was younger all I ever wanted to be was a Television Personality. I wanted to be a TV news journalist or even a big shot actress. I never thought I would get the opportunity so I just kept living my life as though that dream would never come true. Why, would a small time girl such as myself became such a big shot in the Television world? It just wouldn’t happen in a million years.
I decided to study journalism instead so at least I could be close to my dream. I enjoyed every minute of it especially when we got to do on screen interviews. That really got my heart and blood pumping. All the other students hated it but I thrived off the fear and excitement it gave me.
Then one day a man from ABC came to watch our interviews I had no idea he was there but when we all finished our lecturer brought us together and told us what had happened. Most of the students looked like they wanted to get sick. I was smiling from ear to ear.
The following day I got a call from my lecturer saying that the ABC guy wanted me to star in a new show called “Watch this space”. I could not believe my time had come it just shows that anything can happen to anyone so pursue your dreams.

A SKILL SET CALLED LEADERSHIP
Leadership is a skill that one is almost always born with and therefore can not be bred into a person. I do believe some people can be brought up to be great leaders but the ones who are born leaders will be great and those taught to be leaders will just be average, again this is my own opinion.
Being a leader is a huge task, as you need to gain the trust of your followers. You need to be confident in yourself and you need to know what you are doing, is right. Never deny yourself in any way when it comes to leading your followers. Believe that any instinct you have is almost always a good instinct so go with it.
One big decision you need to make, is if you are going to be a great ‘good’ leader or great ‘bad’ leader and what I mean by this is are you going to be Nelson Mandela or Adolf Hitler? They were both great leaders but they affected their nations in two completely different ways. This is your decision; just remember you are constructing not only your destiny but those of your followers as well.

THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
Sasha had just found out she was pregnant and she did not know how to tell her boyfriend or her parents. As she was only 15, this was going to be a tough subject to breech. Sasha didn’t know who to turn to so of course she spoke to her best friend, Lauren.
Lauren unfortunately had a huge crush on Sasha’s boyfriend and so when she found out about the baby she was not very happy. She decided that she would find a way to tell Sasha’s parents.
One Saturday afternoon when everyone was sitting in the lounge drinking hot chocolate and chatting, Lauren decided to set the elephant in the room and she told Sasha’s parents.
What Lauren hadn’t taken into consideration is how much Sasha’s parents loved her and even though they were angry with Sasha they were angrier at Lauren for trying to get poor Sasha into trouble. Moral of the story is never try hurt someone because karma will bite twice as hard.

EVERYDAY IS A GOOD DAY
The moment you wake up in the morning make a conscious decision to have a good day. Don’t let that silly man in his sports car get you down because he hooted at you. Think that he’s just jealous because he knows your having an awesome day.
Walk through your office door with a smile on your face and if someone starts moaning at you, just look at them with that same smile and say how can I help you. This will shock them back to life and make things far more productive.
Spilt tea on your new black pants? Well it could have been worse, they could have been white. Never think that life is tough because there are people out there with no arms or legs, people with incurable diseases and people who go week for week without food. Never mind the millions of people in the world who have no one to love them. The glass should always be half full instead of half empty.
Take every single day as the best day of your life and never stop the smiling and the laughter that it brings with it.

FEELINGS FOLLOW BEHAVIOUR
Think about breaking up with a boyfriend…you never think about what you are going to say, you act out irrationally and attack that person for no real reason at all. You say things you don’t mean, you say things you never even thought were possible to say and then after everything has happened, this is when you truly feel the rashness of your words and decisions. You then either break down in tears or pack up laughing but no matter what, most people tend to act out before they feel what is truly happening around them.
We as a human race need to learn to sit back, take in the situation in its entirety and then act on what we understand and feel is right. Telling your sibling they are heartless and worth nothing and then only realising later that none of what you said is true and retracting the statement is not enough. The damage is already done. That person has already been hurt and nothing you say or do can take that back.
This is where we need to learn to listen to what people have to say, understand what they are saying, understand what they and you are feeling and then behave accordingly.
