Become A Solution And Problem Solver To Your Community and Not A Liability!

Society and communities must exist to serve their neighbours and the country they live in, to allow the society to flourish and become prosperous.

When we seek and find our own truths we must believe and act on this truth to live and realize our best intentions. We only have ourselves to blame if the dreams we entertain do not come forth our way because we use and wear someone else's glasses to see the world.

Learn to see the world with your own eyes and glasses, otherwise, find better vision i.e. (intuition) to improve your outlook on life to live to the best of your abilities and God-given talents. 

To be the best in your dreams be prepared to shed old habits; while paying the price to walk the talk of taking a leadership role. As a steering and a chosen head of your family, citizen of your community and country learn to lead by example.

Your perception is your window to the world -

EP.14 Apartheid Suppressed Crime of Intelligence Part.3

How far can evil intentions and forces of the law suppress individual talents, dreams, ambitions and gifts to the expense and growth of a nation before someone realizes the damage it can cause to progress and technology that benefits all mankind? The South African government then “Apartheid” set a bad precedence that filtered through like a virus to affect the rest of Africa, in redefining its own intelligence to pursue technology and innovative inventions and be a player or a major producer in world electronic consumer goods.

Soweto as I had known it had hidden and untapped talent and treasures among the black community who have not been discovered by our education systems and the world of science and these individuals have been trying out new things and inventions. “Terrific D“is the drop in the ocean of current and past events that Apartheid had long been trying to suppress. Find more inspiration here.

Unknown South African Inventors & Geniuses

Another case in point of Soweto’s genius people I have personally known and befriended is - Starman AKA “Mzitho”, I will call him “Mzitho” to protect his identity, because I need his permission to use his name in my book and have not been successful yet. He was soft spoken, a deep thinker and very intelligent human being.  He was cool, but did not wear spectacles at all. He listened to great music especially fusion and jazz. His favorite jazz icons were Chick Corea, Michael Brecker, Stanley Clark, John McLaughlin and Al De Meola to name but a few. Let me tell you a little bit about “Mzitho”; he was not afraid to invest in himself to learn or read challenging technical books. 

In fact, he was a true engineer and a backstreet inventor of great calibre. He is self-taught and up skilled himself to become a computer programmer. Eventually he became a computer engineer for a multinational company in Johannesburg in the early 1980’s. Also a resident and grew up in Soweto my homey too. He invented a computer “Office Block Entry” reception security keypad in the early 1980’s with a colleague, which was unheard of those days. He was both extremely competent in PC circuit boards designs, faults diagnosis and repair of defects or analysis and programming of IC microchips at PC-board level.

Where Is Our New Young Leaders and Entrepreneurs?

This man was born with tech-nerd-brains, and no one ever conceived a Black folk from a dusty street of Soweto would enter into this career protected “White-dominated” arena of the computer business world. Computer repairs, programming,  manufacturing and fault diagnosis was reserved for “White-Males” only.  In South Africa “Apartheid” was a formalized oppressive system whose laws were practiced openly and legitimately  throughout the country by the White Regime. So prehistoric was this systems, that it became criminal to practice it in modern day world trade and advanced economies. It was a primitive thought pattern which dominated the mind-set of the Afrikaner psyche and their followers to a point where it had to be stopped and the country boycotted by its trading partners worldwide.

The reason for this is that everyone is looking and searching for something. We are all looking for something, to find happiness in various ways and forms,  like "a job", " good Food", "nice Clothes" or "finding " Love" etc. Treat your Stokvel like a business or enterprise; therefore be serious about it.  You never know where it will take you into the future.

Remember on EP. 11 We talked about Time Management and this is important to reflect on personal goals, you want to achieve. Buying a new car, a plasma screen or buy a new cell phone and so on. In all these processes have marketing resources to help create a professional "image" or "look" for your service or product. Things like business cards, flyers and banner are good resources in becoming successful. Be patient and focus on the ultimate goal. As a saying goes, "Rome was not build in a day". It takes time to build a legacy- be in a business for long-term purposes and not short term, it will defeat the purpose of building a solid foundation of your residual income. 

Patience and positive work ethic will pay-off sooner or later. I planned 20 years ago to have my own publishing company and today I can proudly say; I run and own niche magazines, newspapers, and business catalog enterprise and a record company.  Please don't get me wrong, I am not bragging about my small personal achievements, they're not accidents that happened out of the blue, nor gifts inherited from my family. No! I don't even have a family to be proud of. I earned them through blood, sweat and tears and through setting goals and working on these goals meticulously. I had to wait for my ship to arrive - Now it's hear. Let's not talk about me- after all this is about recruiting and selling any product or service. Not every person you talk to will buy your service. The more you talk to 10+ people 1 is a good customer for life. Have fund and enjoy it.

The power and the legacy of the church is in the literature that the church produces to communicate with its congregation and the community it is suppose to serve. So! It goes without saying that no church should be without a library. The library should be part of the communication and education center for all church matters. 

Therefore, the literature and the communication within this context should be produced, created and published by the church. All literature should be about the teachings, scriptures and related information that will empower the readers and the congregation within the church to include both African, Eastern and Western religious teachings and educational material.

However, there are 8 components that should formulate the foundation upon which this library is formed or established.The church should start this process with a simple church newsletter. The purpose of which is to communicate weekly and or monthly activities of the church. The Second should be a booklet containing the pastors sermons or ministry every month. This is to allow members of the church the opportunity to be soaked in the message rather than be lost to negative programming and messages that will destroy the atmosphere built my the pastors sermon.

Fourth, on the list should be journals written by the church and edited by an appointed member of the education and communications department. This will be followed by a production of the church's CD or podcast recordings from the scriptures etc. The most interesting item in this menu will be the Churches Yearbook - which should be produced yearly to cover all church activities and ceremonies if any. 

Eventually the last two are audio library archive of music or any recordings done during the life of the churches existence. Lastly will be the churches social  media presence to monitor and learn what our youth are engage in within these platforms.
