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

O my Gosh, why are we (students) called a bunch of animals and why are they referring us to animals? Are we not human beings? Do you think it has to do with our behaviour or what? That’s what I think. When people are referred to an animal that means they don’t use their brain at all, what they can think of is to vandalise and complain the next day. “Bunch of animals” one can see them vandelising the institution properties and hitting each other for no reasons.

Please people, don’t do this again. The next generation still needs to use this institution. Education is for everyone who wants to pursue his or her career at CPUT. In my own opinion I would say there were a bunch of hooligans at CPUT and those hooligans think they can get away with everything since they are part of this institution. They will strike until they vandalise the institution properties, forgetting that they will come back to the very same institution and wanting to use those computers, projectors and libratories they have vandalize. When those equipments are not working they want to strike for the new equipments. It seems like we are paying our fees for nothing because at the end of the day we don’t do work due to the strike. That is unfair for some of the students who are not protesting and not vandalising at the same time.

Students please don’t behave like animals learn to talk to the management.

Everyday is a good day

Yesterday I asked a few of my friends if they agree with this statement that everyday is a good day. 95 percent of them say no because sometimes they are crying, sometimes they are sad and sometimes they are exhausted. They said how it can be a good day if all those things are happing to them everyday. Personally, I agree with the statement that everyday is a good day. I think that we should all change our attitudes so that we believe that this can be true.

We must change our attitudes so that we can have a good day. Attitude plays a big role in our lives especially if you want to have a good day. God says that everyday is a good day and we have to trust him. I just think we need to change our attitude to be positive. If not than we will have a problem.

Everyday when we open our eyes early in the morning we plan what we are going to do for the day. For example, meeting the deadlines and being on time for the appointments. If everything is going according to your plans that means it is going to be a good day for you. Everyday gives us another chance to show the world who we are and what we can do. Everyday brings another opportunity in lives. For example, we learn new things every day from our parents and at CPUT. Of course everyday is a good day because there are so many things that we can do in that one day.

Let us make use of each day because everyday is a good day.

Our greatest strengths are our greatest weakness

Oh my goodness, this statement is very true. People tend to be very confident in what ever they are doing and they forget that their greatest strengths are their greatest weakness. Almost everyone went through that and it is a good feeling. The problem only starts when person become too confident. Everything changes from being positive to negative.

People should know that their strength can become their weakness anytime especially when they think they know everything about that specific something. The people that are too confident, they end up ignoring other people’s idea and they only think of themselves. They think they know everything and the other people must just listen to them without saying any word. This is very dangerous because people learn from each other and no one is prefect in this world, expect God. To talk the truth being good at something does not mean you awe this world. So don’t expect people every time to listen to you. Rather practice and make a difference in your life when you know that you are too prefect.

Please people don’t make your strength your weakness rather make your weakness your strength, so you can improve on your weakness. It is very important to identity your weakness and work hard on it. Don’t give up

Feelings fellow behaviour

I’m sure that everyone will agree with the statement “feelings follow behaviour”. According to Wikipedia, it describes feelings as the ability to perceive physical sensation in a part of the body and behaviour as the way in which somebody behaves. In my own words I define behaviour as an action of how people behave. Feelings and behaviour work hand in hand with each.

The feelings that we get will reflect on our behaviours. It can either be in a good or bad way, depending on the situation that one is face with. Why is that so? Does this statement make sense to you? To me this statement is the other ways around because the behaviour follows feelings. Is that not so? Let us face reality now. Think of Cape Peninsula University of Technology students during examination time, they are stress and if you happen to meet a student that wrote a difficult paper on that day one can see it from his/her face. He or she is sad. Another example, when you are in love with someone, you will behave well to that person because you are happy.

If you never experience that in life that means you don’t know how your body works.

It is better to practice a little than talk a lot

I agree with the statement, it is better to practice a little than talk a lot. Cape Peninsula University of Technology students like complaining that the workload is too much. If you think deep, the workload will be too much because we wait until the last minute. If you finish your assignments on time you won’t complain. Students that like complaining are those that talks too much and they never submit any assignments. I think this should come to the end. There is a say that goes “practice makes prefect”. Which means the more you practice, the better result you will get? Is it not so?

It is important for us public relations students to practice on our writing skills before we go work next year. It is all about practicing to write proper articles. We must write so that we can improve on our writing skills. Talking too much won’t help us to pass Media Studies. In some cases keeping quite is the best way to talk.

You will bore the people around you especially when you talk about your goals that you want to achieve and not doing anything to show that you will achieve your goals. People will start calling you names such as: Mr/Miss no action. Talking too much is not good at all. Sometimes your body says much before you start talking. That is what I called the action speak louder than word.

It is important for us to start taking action and not to talk too much. At the end of the day it will be us (Students) that will be faced with the problem. Take action and become someone better in life.

It is a poor idea to lie to yourself

Of course, it is a poor idea to lie to yourself because it is a bad thing. Sometimes one gets use to it and it is difficult to change back from where you were. In life, many people think when they lie to themselves they can get away with it. Which is not true at all?

Yesterday I was conducting a research at Cape Peninsula university of Technology. I manage to interview ten students. I ask them the following questions: why do you lie to yourself? How many times did you lie to yourself? Do you think it is a good idea to lie? Do you lie to impress other people? I got really good responds from students and I can’t believe myself. Most of the students said they lie to themselves we they come from, what they do, to please other people, to hurt other people emotionally, to hide from the truth and to attempt to make our life better.

People should know that it is a poor idea to lie to yourself. In the bible Jesus said you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. It means in life we should always seek to tell the truth to any challenge we are facing.

We must stop lying to ourselves because it is a poor idea to lie to ourselves. Let us face reality and become a better person.

Not all those who wander are lost

I agree with this statement “Not all who wander are lost.” Many of us dream to get good things in life but not all of us get to live our dreams. We tend to ask yourselves questions. Why this happening to me? Is there something wrong with me? Sometimes we even end up comparing our lives with our friends who are progressing. I know it is hard to see your friend progressing while you are not. I think we should bear in mind that we are all different from one other.

We go through that in life, and it not because we want too. I think it’s because God wants to see who is strong and whose not. If you are strong enough you will fellow the right directions still you reach your goals. If you are not strong you won’t make it. But there is a chance for that person to change and fellow the right direction. God is there to guide us anytime.

Most people think that all who wander are lost. Talking from a point of view, I think sometimes it can be a right answer or wrong answer. The reason for that is because we are all different from each other and we can never look a like. In life, it very important to except yourself for who you are and fellow your heart.

I believe not all wander are lost.
