The other day I was actually talking to one of my colleagues. I dunno how the topic came up – ek kan mos fokkol onthou nie (goldfish gedagtes). But anyways, we were discussing how too many kullid people, no matter if they’re from Cape Town or PE, have the idea that they don’t have to become anything.

They are content with lumming at home… waiting for someone to give them the helping hand they deserve.

Moenie ko met daai kak gedagtes ie!! Roer jou gat!!

The colleague that I was talking to is a 30 year old female who grew up in PE (soes ek bo gemention). Now she’s a developer and if yous know mense in IT, it’s dominated by men. Ek wiet ie hoeko daa mere kinnes issie.

Ma anyways, she says that she did NOT get it easy in her career, even today things aren’t easy. This motivated her to work harder, be more successfull!

What I’m saying is that even people who are well into their careers, have hurdles/opsticles that try to get you down! But it’s what you do that makes the difference! How you decide to deal with it – we all have choices!

All I’m saying is, moenie fokken lazy wies ie!

Djy wil daai golfie kry!
Djy wil a mooi huisie koep!
Djy wil a familie oek een dag het issit ie?!!!

Doen iets! Ek wiet is kla mooilik met die prys van brood wat op gat, en moenie eers praat van entjies ie! Ek kan julle hoor dink

The way I see it anyways, kullids got the best of both worlds – we are beautiful people, we are clever and intelligent and have grown through hard times! Lets use all of this to our advantage and work together! Even if it knocks you down sometimes, pick yourself back up! It’ll only make you stronger and a better person!

Dream big, become something big! It is possible!
