We \naccept difficult situations as a con- \ndition yet all that can be appeased \nby the name of the Lord Jesus. \nWe sometimes join the liars group \nand be haters. By so doing, we will be \nharbouring the works of the devil. \nWe start seeing the works of \nthe earth as of more value than \nthe works of God ,hence with- \nout knowing we will be play- \ning on the devil\u2019s hands......the \ndevil goes all the way celebrat- \ning because he will have won. \nLet\u2019s not make the devil to be a \nChampion, instead he is the worst \nvillian and the greatest loser, we \njust have to qualify that by sham- \ning him, giving him a big No and \nshowing him the red flag through \nthe name of Jesus. We benefit \nnothing from the devil besides \nexperiencing loss and pain....But \nwe have all the gains of eternity \nby accepting Him, the Almighty. \nRemove the fear and restore brav- \nery, confidence and courage, be the \nwinner, be the Champion of Cham- \npions. \nEmbrace\u00a0Jesus\u00a0Christ. \nIf success is cheap ,everyone \nwould have been successful. If \nthe road to success was straight \nmany would have been enjoying \nsuccess long ago. But am sorry , \nit\u2019s not! If you are expecting your \ndreams to come through cheap- \nly, then you need to change your \nmind. Success is not for people \nwho give up easily, it\u2019s not for \nlazy people, it\u2019s not for people \nwho give excuses. Success comes \nto men who are dedicated, com- \nmitted and ready to give their \ndreams all it takes to be fulfilled. \nSo I ask again, what manner of \nperson are you? Someone who \ngives up easily? \nOr someone who is ready to fight \nthrough the bad days to earn the \ngood days?\u00a0 \nThink\u00a0about\u00a0it. \nAfrican architectural philoso- \nphy had evolved on the basis of \ntemporary human existence and \nlife in harmony with nature rath- \ner than against it. In that regard, \nAfricans deviated from building \nhomes that stand in the way of \nnatural elements like air\/wind, \nwater and earth itself. As the air \nblows against the hut, it circum- \nvents the cylindrical structure \nand continues flowing. If the wa- \nter comes, it finds its way around. \nAnd if the earth expands and\/or \ncontracts, the rounder structure \nremains intact. If you ponder on \nnatural concepts, for instance, \nwhy tree-trunks cylindrical, then \nyou will grasp the wisdom in \nthis\u00a0architecture. \nHOW THE \nDEVIL \nWORKS \nSUCCESS \nWHY ARE \nAFRICAN HUTS \nROUND? \nTHE EDITORS SHARES HIS THOUGHTS WITH YOU....... \nEDITOR\u2019S BLOG","1. Money doesn\u2019t attract money. \nMoney attracts thieves. Value at- \ntracts money. The quicker you come \nto terms with this principle, the fast- \ner you move up the echelons of life. \n2. Pain motivates people to take ac- \ntion two times more than pleasure. \nTherefore, your chances of getting \nrich are two times more if you \nprovide solutions that alleviate pain \nthan solutions that derive pleasure. \n3. The only psychology you need to \nknow to become highly successful \nis that humans are hopelessly lazy. \nTherefore, if you transform your \nmindset even slightly to become \naction-oriented, you will excel above \nothers in whatever you do. \n4. Do not oversleep when you\u2019re just \nstarting out in business. The busi- \nness needs to have a life of its own \nbefore it can take off and allow you \nto rest. If you rest before the busi- \nness starts to walk, the business will \ndie a premature death, and you will \nalso eventually die financially. \n5. To succeed as an entrepreneur, \nprovide a service to people that will \nmake them comfortable and make \nyou uncomfortable. This will mo- \ntivate them to transfer money into \nyour pocket to enable you to enjoy a \ncomfortable life in the future. \n6. Money has never been a catalyst \nfor success, but an effect of suc- \ncess. Most businesses fail because \nthey put money first instead of the \ncustomer. In fact, highly successful \nbusinesses only think about custom- \ner satisfaction when dealing with \ncustomers\u2014never about the money. \n7. Failure in school is not the same \nas failure in life. Most people who \nexcel in class are good candidates \nfor the job market and bad candi- \ndates for the business world. In the \nbusiness world, failure is inevitable, \nas you will try many things that \nwill not work. However, if you keep \ntrying and failing, one day you will \ntry something that will work. \n8. Do not seek to be successful. \nSeek to become a man or woman of \nvalue. Success follows value. \n9. Success is not the result of mon- \ney. Money is the result of success. \nSimilarly, happiness doesn\u2019t follow \nsuccess\u2014success follows happiness. \n10. Success always stays with the \nmost disciplined and focused per- \nson. Not the slob. \n11. To become highly successful, \nyou must dedicate yourself to \nlifelong learning. Not in the aca- \ndemic sense of the word, but in the \npersonal development sense of the \nword\u2014also known as self-educa- \ntion. \n12. Your mind, body, and spirit \nare as important to your success \nas your life. Therefore, feed them, \ntrain them and nourish them well. \n13. Do not re-invent the wheel if \nthe wheel is still functional. Let \nothers re-invent wheels while you \nride in the car. \n14. The secret to success is habit, \nand the key to success is to change \nall your bad habits. Bad habits lead \nto disappointment, failure, misery, \nand misfortune. Good habits lead \nto success, excellence, happiness, \nand good luck. \n15. Never give up as long as you\u2019re \npursuing a worthy cause. But then \nwhy should you waste your valu- \nable time pursuing an unworthy \ncause? \n16. Try something at least 20 times \nbefore you finally call it quits. By \nthen you should have explored \nevery possible means to do it and \nlearned everything about it. Even \nthen, don\u2019t give up yet. Give it \nanother try and ask around. Maybe \nthere\u2019s someone who has tried it \nbefore and succeeded. \n17. Successful people are those peo- \nple who defeat failure, endure hard- \nship, burn the midnight oil, persist \nwith vigour, overcome shame and \nconquer their self-ego. \n18. You can never defeat the spirit \nof a potentially successful person. \nThey understand themselves. They \nconstantly weight themselves on \nthe success scale and they constant- \nly watch their goal. \n19. Push yourself constantly and be \nconsistent to ensure your personal \ngrowth. Remember, no one else is \nresponsible for your life\u2014and your \nlife doesn\u2019t belong to anyone else \nbut you. \n20. Put yourself first before anyone \nelse. Love yourself before you love \nothers. If you find a life partner, \nlove them and help them grow if \nthey agree to be helped. Find a \npartner who is compatible and can \nbuild you up\u2014not one that will \npull you apart. \nEDITOR\u2019S BLOG \nTHE EDITORS SHARES HIS THOUGHTS WITH YOU....... \nA MINDSET THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL","Multi-award winning artist Bhadilah (real name \nGift Lihlohonolo Ndlovu) instills hope to all \nyoungsters and youths saying \u201cvuwani ri foste\u201d \nwhich translates to let\u2019s wake up and hustle\/ \ngrind. \nSpeaking to this publication Bhadilah says he \ncame up with this phrase as a way of promoting \nhope in our youngsters and youths. \nAs the old cliche goes \u201c in the morning be the \nfirst up, in the evening be the last to go to bed, \nfor they that sleep catches no fish\u201d, Bhadilah \nbelieves that there is nothing that comes on a \nsilver platter but one has to wake up and work. \nHe urges all to wake up and try again, to wake \nup and push and to wake up and make things \nhappen.
