The sound of one hand clapping...



(philosophyblog.com.au)

Makes me wonder of what it must be like to become a stand-up comedian.  I can only imagine. Besides wanting hear laughter, you also like to hear a round of applause after you gave the punch line of the joke. Let me not forget to mention, not wanting to receive a boo from your audience. But being funny comes with the job description. People can be very cruel and will slaughter you up on that stage. And once the joke has been told, there’s complete, dead silence and then you hear that one hand clapping. Embarrassing!

Not all who wander are lost…

Sometimes we should take a detour to make discoveries. The great explorer Christopher Columbus thought he was lost and made a great discovery about the world being round shaped.  Sometimes we should loose ourselves to find a better self, within. On the path of self-discovery it’s good to wander, but not to get entirely lost. Think about it, food for thought.

You only live once…

So why not do what you must or do what you can to live to the best of your ability. Common sense has led me to want to live life to the fullest. In my spare time I love to read up on philosophy… you know the type of things that leads one to question life.  And it has led me to this question:  What is living a fulfilled life? The area you stay in?, The car you drive?, What school your kids goes to?,The people you are associated with? I suppose we all want a comfort lifestyle, but at the expense of our wellbeing?  Let’s look at the bright side of life, Always! Try new things and do better… discover who you were truly meant to be, even if it takes a lifetime.

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

Firstly, my question is how did you manage to get up there? What was the reason for you climbing that pole? Why did nobody try to stop you?  In my life's journey thus far, I have met extraordinary individuals who have had an influence on the person I am today, my friends.  And often time enough, they stop me from doing really stupid things. Surely they would stop me from even attempting to climb a 100-foot pole, much rather than to advise how to step down from there. One needs to trust your friends enough to confide in them rather than to climb poles.

Are you watching the seasons go by,
As we get older and another birthday arrives,
We acknowledge what we have learned in recent
Years, to embrace, discover and fulfil the next 12
Months. We belong to the circle of life, the process
That provides us with wisdom and neglects and abandon
Our youth. 365 days of continuous maturing until your
Next birthday and in a blink of an eye, time has gone by
And you wonder where it has gone... the evidence is found
On your skin that Summer, Winter, Autumn and Spring
Has come and gone. Age is simply a result of time, and
Birthdays tells us what time we are. When our time runs
Out, our clocks stop and we will no longer be. Yet the
Seasons will continue...

Being a virgo woman...

Often enough I don't like to admit it, my star sign  portrays similar characteristics of that of my personality and other times I can't help but love being a virgo. 

The Virgo woman is driven by success, more often defined by the financial standing she inadvertently gets. She achieves this through sheer wit and intellect as well as her natural inquisitiveness for the truth. Being gifted with critical thinking abilities and the desirable trait of creative and imaginative thinking fueled by a sharp memory, the Virgo woman can find success in law enforcement, research, investigations, sciences, linguistics, accounting or even book-keeping. 

The Virgo woman plays the role of the ever amiable diplomat settling disputes with uncanny proficiency and without the need for coercion or the use of means other than peaceful ones. This makes her a very significant figure in negotiation tables as well as a major player as a trusted and equally gifted business partner. Her ability to balance and harmonize personal issues with professional concerns makes her an ideal employee or even an excellent business partner.

We are what we do...

(tellemgrodypr.com) 

I was at a cross roads in my life and didn't know what to do with it and then... Public Relations choose me. After three years and a national diploma later, I have many regrets, but choosing Public Relations as a career  path isn't one of them. The broad field of Public Relations has provoked much excitement in my young adult life. Exciting because I have all these avenues to explore and don't know where to start with to find my niche. Public Relations hasn't become my life, and I don't intend on making it my life. But has become a significant part of my life already.
