Technology grows faster than swam

We live in a modern world. A world where technology grows faster than swam. It is good, and it seems that the world benefit from this fast growing technology. But there is one problem that I have observed and I don't have any answers. 

The major defect of most technology equipment is that you always get some software or hardware defect. It is for me weird to think that we move so fast in the technology world, but we can not fix the defects of our technology equipment. 

Every day we see improvements. Every time it is just getting better and faster. Can't we rather first concentrate on getting solutions to fix the defects on our technology? It can't be that hard to design our technological equipment in the beginning without any defects... it can't be harder than sending people out into the space? But I would not know so the only thing that I can do is to send complaints in to them or just write about it on my blog. 

My day would go much smoother without these technology defects. But like I said, we benefit from the growing technology and we can just hope than some day they will come up with something new without any defects.

"Bunch of animals" is one comment on CPUT strikes in August. What is yours?

Every year it is the same issue. Every year they brake down every thing that we all paid for. Every year they act like people that does not have any education at all. Every year they destroy the reputation of CPUT.  

I walk around with pepper spray at our campus. I'm not even sure I want to be part of this campus. It is so unsafe with the striking students. It is shocking to think that these students will be the future business people.

I really think that CPUT must act on this issue. Not by giving the striking students what they want but to take action against them. It is not the first time that some students strikes about a certain issue. This years strike was the worst of all. The moment I heard about the strikes, I went on CPUT's website to read their comments on the strikes. But their was nothing. I really think that CPUT must communicate. They don't communicate at all.  

To call the striking students a "bunch of animals" may be a strong comment for some people. But explain it to me. The striking students turned the campus into an unsafe environment. They take away a whole week of my education. They gamble with my future. A future that I paid for. So what can we say about the striking "students" that does not have any respect for my life, my choices and my future? I don't have a word to describe their behaviour,  but I just know that my house pets behave themselves better than the striking students.

Every day is a good day

Every day can be a good day for you. It all depends on you as individual. You can wake up every morning and decide for yourself that today will be a good or bad day. You can make every day a good day.

I have two tips that will help you to bright up your day a little more

- Start your day with your favourite song. 
- Get up early and go for a run, not in the gym but outdoor so that you can inhale the fresh air.

It is difficult to believe that every day can be a good day. But it can be. Think about it. To go out to work and to come back the evening alive is a good reason to think that today was a good day. If you have a work and you get paid for it, than every work day is a good day because you get paid for it. Every day that you don't work and just enjoy the day, is also a good day because it is a day off that you can enjoy with friends or your family.

I believe that every day can be a good day.

Our greatest strengths are our greatest weaknesses

We all have our strengths and weaknesses in life. 

The fact that our greatest strengths are our greatest weaknesses is a little bit scary for me. This statement makes us as very vulnerable in life. On earth where we are, people are mean. People like to know what weaknesses other people have and use for their benefit.

I think we all have one weakness that we all share, and that is money. Money can be good. Money gives us power and with lots of money we feel strong. We have strength. But it is a great weakness. People will do anything for money. Money owns us. Some people does not want to know it, but they are just in denial. 

Loyalty is also a strength that can be turned into a weakness. We will do anything for our loved ones. We will even threw our values away to be loyal and support our love ones, and it is good but it is a weakness.

Each and every person have their own great strengths that are their greatest weaknesses. But money and loyalty we all have.  

Feelings follow behaviour

The Oxford dictionary define feelings as a power to feel: mental or physical awareness. Behaviour is the way you behave.

The words 'feelings' and 'behaviour' follow one another. It is just a matter of which one will follow the other one first. Both these two words plays a major role in life. Feelings and behaviour can tell us more about people than words. Actions talk, and through actions we see feelings and the way we act, is the way we behave. 

Behaviour can not operate alone. Behaviour is linked to our feelings. Every act we do, we do with a reason and with our feelings. It is so easy to let feelings follow behaviour. Behaviour we can see, hear, feel and the moment we observed behaviour... feelings follow.


We can not always control our feelings, but I believe we can control our behaviour. It is not bad to let your feelings follow behaviour, but we must make sure we are always in control of our actions.
