It is better to practice a little than talk a lot.

Practice makes perfect, whereas talk is just a cheap way to converse yourself out of a situation. To pretend that you actually know what you are doing. Unfortunately a lot of leaders in our society rather talk than practice.  People who love to talk are politicians especially Julius Malema I still remember when he said, “These judges are our judges, whether you like it or not, they work for the government…. the government which is us the ANC,” religious leaders, lecturers or teachers, most leaders or managers and even Public Relations Practitioners love to talk and they enjoy the attention and the feeling of centre stage.

They say talk is cheap but in fact it can be expensive.  Most of people who love to talk they do it only to get an attention from the crowd for instance when I was still in high school I think I was doing grade 12 I use to go to grade 8 & 9 classes to share stories and jokes with learners
about the things they interact with in the real-world, such as businesses, brands, celebrities, and musicians.and then I noticed one thing that they were always interested on my talks. 
 Some talkers who tend to be late because they often develop speech later which is not good and I would advise those people by saying they have to prepare their speech on time.

What I find is that most of people are afraid of some of the things in our lives; for instance, my little sister is afraid of a snake. For others have a fear dark place and if it’s dark they can’t even go outside on their own they ask someone to go with them. But, for many people all over the world, their number one fear is public speaking and I know that to stand in front of the crowd speak to group of people is not easy.

I don’t know who can help me to overcome this fears because when I presentations my throat become dry as a desert and then it just close up altogether as I make my way to the podium, I also get dizzy and lightheaded and I just feel like I am going to faint. But I am not the only one who has this problem; many people in class say that they also experience the same problem when they are going to speak in front of a crowd. Some classmates just laugh when someone has a fear but this doesn’t sound like too much fun and I hurt that as the results I become angry when I see someone laughing when there is a person doing a presentation.


Life is not easy!

When I am dead I will stand before God and I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left on this earth, and I will tell him that I used everything you gave me and I will wait to hear from him to reply.

Life is like a blanket because it is too short but some people seem to forget about that. They spend most of the time on things that are not important to them. Another thing is that people want to have a lot of things which they want interesting and non-stressful job, a loving family, plenty of money, a great house and caring, well-educated kids but the problem with them is that they don’t have time for everything!

Life is like a coin because you can spend it any way you wish, but remember one thing that you can only spend it once.  Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be. I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.



Wedding cake in-the-middle-of-the-road.

What is the wedding cake doing in the middle of the road? It should be at the reception area, where it needs to be. In most cases, a bride is always worries about the wedding cake and wedding ring.

For me the most challenging thing in planning a wedding is not on conceptualising a theme, nor controlling the budget. Well... what is it then.... :) the most challenging task is to understand the client, I would not say fully, up to 85% is good enough, I think wedding planners have to make sure that they are able to achieve that before starting any of the planning process. This is most important, if a wedding planner is able to achieve that; obviously, a client will like the choice of vendors and ideas she/he proposes to them. That means that the rest of the process will be much easier.  

Everything has to go according to plans because there is no bride wants to get married without the wedding cake and wedding cake is the centre of the wedding celebration and Is also a symbol of the couple's love, future happiness and fertility. The wedding celebrations (wedding reception / wedding breakfast) just aren't complete without a wedding cake.

Yes, thank you! I absolutely love this topic and I will be focusing more on a specific issue: oh why do we lie to ourselves about things that are not in our hearts?

As we get older we feel the pressure from all angles family, friends, partners, careers and society.  Why do we lie to ourselves though when we aren’t happy? I think we lie to ourselves because of fear maybe and another reason is that we lie to stop ourselves being hurt, usually to protect our self-esteem. There are thoughts that we find unacceptable, and thus we simply refuse to think them. Who knows, everyone is different.  The one big issue here is that we are lying to ourselves whereas we know that is wrong because to lying to others is selfish and plain stupid.  

It is a poor idea to lie to yourself because this may lead into big issues.  Lying to yourself is not a good thing really, because those people that you lie to them are watching you and they will see you as a stupid. I think people have to learn to deal with issues that might help us and reality will change and even the lie will be inconsequential.  Sometimes when we start lying to ourselves, we start lying to our parents and it creates a problem amongst the family which may lead to conflict. Honestly is the key to success, with yourself, with others and with our minds.
