Andy Warhol said, “In the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes”

Well, I never thought that in the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes. It took me a while to think about it. I thought to myself that God made me different from other people and I’m unique in my own way. What will stop me from being famous for fifteen minutes? I should not waste my talent that God gave me. I have to make use of it or else I won’t be famous for fifteen minutes.

Public Relations is my career and I’m happy that I chose this field. Public relations is all about publicity which mean I will be in the public eye. If I have to make a speech on behalf of Namibia on BBC television I will be world famous for fifteen minutes. The Good part is that people will still remember me and I will use it to my advantage.

Being world famous for fifteen minutes allows you to be on the red carpet and be like other famous people in the world. You need to work hard to be famous and make money because you will be in the public eye. Being famous and having money is part of being a celebrity.

Personal autonomy – how far does it extend?

Personal autonomy is being independent and able to speak for oneself. We are all raised by different parents with different religious and different back grounds. In other word, we are different from one other. I believe being independent one can achieve his/her goal because he/she does not depend on other people. Being independent is not bad at all as long as you know what is right and what is wrong. Being independent, you also need people’s ideas so that you can learn from them.

Personal autonomy goes as far as the rules and regulations. After Jacob Zuma became a president, many people thought they are free to do what ever they want. They forgot that the government won’t allow that. The government has rules and regulations that we all need to follow. No one can change rules and regulations, not even the ministers and or communication. We all have to obey them.

Money makes the world go round

Oh my goodness, this statement is very true. The statement basically means money is the root of all evil. There is no way to survive without money because it feeds us, clothes and keeps a roof over our heads. If I decide to travel from point A to B, I will need money. To some people money is not evil, but the love of money is called the root of all evil.In other words we can't live without money.

We earn money in order for us to fulfill our needs and responsibilities. If we use the money wisely, it will enable them to live a happy and a blameless life, and will not do them any harm. All too often, however, money takes over people’s lives, and they become obsessed with acquiring it by any mean, fair or soul. The reason that makes people to love money is the power that it gives to enjoy sensual pleasures.

These days people especially women they do anything just for money. Some women they sell their bodies and some they go steal other people’s things that do not belong to them. That is why people say money is evil.

Money makes the world go round because we think of money every time and when we have money. We don’t thank God. I think this is unfair. We should learn to thank God and he will bless us with more money.

Please people let us not put money before God. We must learn to work hard so that we make money and not to depend on other people. Money is evil.

Watch this space

What is coming? Keeping an open eye and mind, it is a call to staying aloof and aware of what is coming as in keep a bookmark in your mind to act as a constant reminder of that particular topic. In general terms one could use the upcoming 2012 craze, which highlights the idea of a new age of a conscience human being, a changing world where we as humans are moving towards a era of homo Spiritus as we become more conscious and spiritually inclined.
Other ways in which the phrase watch this space is used is in magazines and newspapers (print media) where an allocated part of the publication is specifically for a certain organization and they publish announcements or advertisements for their establishment and they would then at times print “watch this space” in anticipation of an upcoming big event that the organization would like to keep the public aware of. The purpose is to build up anticipation, excitement and a sense of wonder and to keep the mind enquiring, with that organization in mind.

From my experience when I click on vacancies at Rossing Mining Company (the company that i'm dying to work for) website. It always says watch this space. It motivates me to go on the website every to see whether there are vacancies in public relations or communication.

Conventional is a good fallback

I would disagree with this motion as conventional would mean that one would have to act and in turn be what is set to be the norm of society. One leads towards convention as a sign of laziness or in fear of non – acceptance. How dull would it be if the world was constructed along the lines of convention instead of individuality? Where individuals live in their own light and not according to what is accepted to be truth or right in society’s light.

A colorful, kaleidoscopic fallback based on individually motivated reasons is a good basis for a fallback if ever. The Motion of conventional being a good fallback might seem to some as better as when ideas are bought up they would seem to be too much or rather decorated in ways that would seem excessive and conventional would always be a decent place to fall back on cause one would claim that it is what is already familiar and has some sort of longstanding tradition to know that it works. This is a rather conservative point of departure that is not really enthusiastic about change and the development of new dynamic, modern ideas.

Conventional is rather settling for something. Some would see it as laziness as ideas are forever free flowing and there is so much space to maneuver, such freedom for creativity whether of thoughts only or of thoughts that manifest into actions. We as living, breathing organisms that form part of the organ called humanity should stay true to ourselves and develop of personal individual choices and not settle to what has been developed by society and has become accepted by many as the standard to live by or the conventional way of life and embrace difference and the diverse, steering away from convention.

Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when you only have one idea.

Ideas are the result of a thought process that one goes through, be it creatives in a brainstorming in a professional setting e.g. Art directors in advertising or be it in a personal capacity sitting in a train in silence surrounded by strangers. The thought process could be sparked by something one might have seen, starting a chain of thoughts leading to an idea one might have. Individuality is a key aspect of an idea as even though the thought process might have been sparked by someone else, the thoughts that follow are completely one’s own being aided by one’s character.
Background, experiences and culture would play a role in the formation of an idea. As isolated as an idea is, it draws from various aspects of life, passed, present or future. Think outside the box is an expression constantly used in professions that are art orientated or creatively motivated, this is an encouragement to take the point of departure in terms of the topic or concept and not to only think of ideas which are in close relation to it. One could for example then take something conventionally seen as unrelated and find it somehow making sense to group together.

In the case of only having one idea, the danger comes in when it is worked into ones ideology and way of life, you only see everything in one light, nothing else is considered. An example could be that of an extremist Muslim, they would only see one way and have one way of doing things, it’s either that one way or nothing else, if one doesn’t fall within the confines of that ideal that the extremist has in his mind then you could pose as a threat to him and might cause him/her to label you, the enemy. Danger exudes when sense or an alternative direction of thought in a new light cannot be instilled.

Pray as a priest, speak as a king

Wow, I want learn how to pray like a priest and speak like a king. No one can stop me from learning. It is up to me and my God. South Africa and Namibia are blessed to have many Christian. Still may people in South Africa are yet to hear the good news of Christ’s salvation. This is why it is important for us God’s people to pay for Christian ministries, ministers of the gospel and fellow believers in the effort to evangelize the nation.

Praying like a priest it will take some times because it requires experience. One has to put in lots of afford so that the people knows what one is trying to say. At the end of the day the people have to learn something from you. Any come can become a preacher as long as you know that word of God. As one pray, you’ll see visions of God. You‘ll see sinners not only coming to Christ, but also preaching the gospel and winning other. How nice is that. You will see when the church is packed with people

If you do this, you’ll be functioning in your office as praying priest and reigning king. It will be better you take some time to pray for the impact of the gospel of Lord Jesus Christ in South Africa and Namibia.
