When it is all said and done, will you have said more than you have done #smed12

When it’s all said and done, I hope that I would have managed to do everything that I have said. Talking is easy but taking action can be very difficult at times. 

 

Unfortunately I do talk more than I do. Simply because there is not always enough time, to do everything as you have set it out to be. But by talking about it, I can steer myself in the direction of taking action.

 

I’ve always said that I will study part-time in order to obtain my Public Relations qualifications. I spoke about it and then I enrolled and I’m nearly done with my Btech. So in many instances I have said a lot and done as much as I could.

 

I’m much older and wiser now so I intend doing way more than I’ve said. It remindsme of the saying talk is cheap….. so put your money where your mouth is.

Life is short #smed12

Life

How often do we forget how blessed we are to enjoy another day. We get caught up in our daily routine, but forget that it is through the mercy of the Lord that we can get out of bed each day.

We complain about so many things and forget about our blessings. When will we learn to appreciate what we have? Good health, a roof over our heads a stable job or good education.

I’m sure each one of us has a long list that can make us smile. Whenever I see homeless people, or visit people in hospital I realise that there are people with real problems out there. And while we complain about the weather or a nasty boss at work there are several others that pray and need so much more.

Therefore I count my blessings and I remain thankful for everything and everyone in my life. I give and don’t expect anything in return because when you want to help and share with others it might just be too late.

Therefore “I get on my knees”

Would you break the law to saved a loved one? #smed12

Would you break the law to save a loved one?....

This is a very difficult question. Breaking the law is a serious offence. I will rather say yes and no. It depends on the situation and what I will be required to do. I don’t even break the law for myself but I suppose doing it for your loved one makes it a bit easier.

I will only do it if it was for my immediate family and fiancé then it would be worth considering breaking the law.

If it means I have to pay a fine, I can live with that. But unfortunately going to jail for theft, robbery or fraud is definitely not an option. I won’t be able to do that, simply because it goes against all my values and principles. Telling a white lie to save a loved one is possible.

It can’t seem to answer this question, I suppose when I’m in that situation I will feel differently about certain things. So until then we shall wait and see.

Planning your wedding day #smed12

Planning your wedding

This is indeed a very important day. And it’s amazing how we get carried away in order to have a perfect wedding day.  Choosing your colour scheme and making sure you favourite colour is part of it.

Then you have to decide on a wedding venue.  Will it be the traditional community hall, a Hotel or a wine Estate? With all these decisions it’s important not to forget about your budget.  It is very difficult because every bride wants a spectacular day and it should be different.

Compiling your guest list is very difficult especially if you have a family, many friends and colleagues. After considering that I suppose a small intimate ceremony sounds ideal, but then again you only get married once.

With all the planning we should never forget about the marriage, the ceremony and reception only last a day, but your marriage must last a lifetime. The people we want to impress are only there on that day thereafter you are on your own.

So while I’m planning I try not to forget what my wedding day is all about, the marriage and commitment that starts after that day when two minds, two souls and two hearts become one.

Do you celebrate the things you have #smed12

I agree celebrating the things we have is necessary. But I get so caught up in my daily routine that i hardly have time to celebrate the things I have. I have many things to celebrate as I have acquired so much in life I see those things as blessings.

I don’t celebrate the things I have as often as I should. I have worked hard in my career, and personal life to accomplish things and to be successful. I have good health and amazing people in my life. But I don’t celebrate that often enough.

I do spend time with my family, my fiancé and close friends. I do celebrate having them in my life. I celebrate the support they have given me over the years and therefore I have accomplished so many things.

I go to church in order to celebrate my spiritual growth and blessings. To say thank you for good health and prosperity and I try and make a difference by helping others. I see that as celebrating what I have by sharing it with others.

Which is your favourite season #smed12

I absolutely love summer.  The clear skies the pleasant summer breeze and awesome sunny weather. The warm and earthy smell of this fabulous season definitely makes me smile with the Beautiful flowers blooming.

The best part is having pool parties, a braai on the patio and those beach trips. Being able to wear shorts, dresses, bikini’s those big sunglasses and not forgetting enough sun block.

I enjoy swimming the most, I spend most of my summer holiday at the beach, we go camping and spending time away from the busy city is pure bliss.

My favourite hiking trail is crystal waters near Gordon’s Bay you can hike and swim and that is very refreshing.

I seem happier in the summer season probably because my social life is booming then, there is always something to do. Therefore my wedding will be happening in December I just had to choose a month in the summer season.

Don’t you just love summer :)

The last lecture #smed12

The Last lecture

 

The last lecture will probably be the best one when we look back at this challenging academic year. Deadlines, assignments, presentations and the group work.  The pressure at tech if you catching up with the workload, because you missed class due to work commitments.  

I have studied the PR diploma course part-time as well as the Btech. So the last class will be a very joyous and emotional one. Working hard to reach your goals and maintaining your career, successfully completing your part-time studies. That is easier said than done. 

But I wouldn’t have done it differently. I have met some awesome people and I’ve learned so much from everyone. Today I have few people that I can honestly call my friends, they have truly helped make this a very pleasant journey.

Then Graduation the one day everyone is looking forward too. Reaching your goals and being on the doorstep of success.

Cheers…….. may we remember these beautiful memories when we trying to make an impact in the PR industry.
