Be careful of scam/spam : Youthzone website invitation or emails!

Hi familia.

I hope you guys are doing great. Please be careful of people who send a comment to you and asking them to email them privately and promises you big bucks or heaven. And they are sick people who are even finding the way through in our beautiful networking website. I had to delete some of them as members and they are there to make things go wrong or get your money if you have any. Please dont dish out your vital info like ID number or address etc to strangers. These people…

never give up

giving up in life is a sign of failure to face challenges that God put to test your faith .Most people end up using drugs,involved in criminal acts only bcos they dont want to face the challenges ahead of them.life is a journey where only those that are patient,have faith will reach their destination.The good life that we are looking for is found behind the hardship .all that happens in life happens for a good reason perseviarance is the mother of succes ,the harder you work the luckier you…

Feedback from Teramai after Manica Mutare Exchange

Hi bro

The exchange game with our friends from Manica (GDM) went on very, very well. It was so refreshing to meet with all those friends, the likes of Nelson, Waru Waru and that music guy!! It was also good to see the re-union of Bruce, Pingi and myself as we took time to remind each other of our unforgettable 2010 World Cup experiences!!! We also laughed it out as we remembered Waru Waru's "World Cup" experience at the RSA border!! We cried…

Believing but I cant sit and wait!

All along in my life I have being doing big mistakes of believing and hoping things one day will get better. I have being stereotyped living out of fear, insecurities, low-cofidence. I have been watching things going from worse to worst hoping one day things will get better and believing in it. As much ADIDAS say : "Impossible is nothing" or Sony says "Believe" is very important to consider Nedbank 's Slogan which say "make things happen" or the latest : "Success doesn't come to those who sit… Continue

Nothing done or no one is there!

In life is good and very important to have a vision and plan and organize everything in order. It depends how long you take on the planning and organizing. Because in 20 minutes given in our lives, we use 18 minutes talking around the meeting table and 2 minutes on actions hence less work or no work done. And the danger is that most of us who we spend hours and hours planning a meeting by the time we go to the meeting there is no one. Some of us are useless when our mouths are closed because we… Continue

DIRECTION

Driving throught the beautiful landscapes of the Eastern Cape, enroute to the Free State. One thing is going through my mind, I can't help but feel in limbo, I'm neither here nor there. I ask myself how many people are in limbo, in all the places I've been to in last 3months, I've met people who are 'nor here nor there'. There is one thing though that is certain is I'm heading to the Free State, when I'll get there (only the GPS know) all I know is I will get there, come rain, snow,storm etc I… Continue

Enthusiasm leads to achievement

The great accomplishments of man have resulted from the transmission of ideas and enthusiasm. Knowledge is power and enthusiasm is the switch. There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened.

We all have a choice.

You decide what type of person you want to be.

I have always chosen to be in the first group in order to achieve in live. Big up

Evaton North Sports Tournament

We always say the real heroes are not easily seen because they are busy doing something good and are continuing doing good out there.

School tournament went well and big ups to heroes and heroins like Papa, Lucky, Simon, Mahlatsi, Clara, Juliet and the school at large. Above all big thank you to Youthzone team (Masi, Doc, Schalk and Emien) and ABI for… Continue

An ode to all the bloggers

Everyody has pro's and con's about them, most try to heighten their pro's and work on their con's transforming them to pro's. Along the way we might struggle with our con's...a lesson never learnt is the same mistake made in the future. Learning takes patience and is your choice to make whereby the only person risking a loss (of information) is you. I love the fact that everytime I login to youthzones I find life lessons, and I'm motivated to better myself in all regards.

Thank you

I ....... dont want to wait again.....!

At school, I always go to class and learn a lesson and from there I go for the test or exam. So is lesson first and test after. But with life is vice versa. Test first and lesson after. I have being hoping, waiting and working hard and hoping that things one day will turn good in different situations in my life. But actually since I was born I have been trying to catch a fish by preparing fishing rod, baits, lines .... in dry land, practising how to throw the line, how to look the baits while… Continue

IT'S ABOUT PERSEVERANCE.

Perseverance springs from determination and discipline,often people have failed because they did not realise how close they were to success when they gave up,it's often the beginning or the end that are the most difficult times,but we have to stay on course,patience and perseverance have a magical effect,difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish,a pledge not to quit you've reached a goal can be crazy in the practical sense,but so are the most worthwhile dreams,always remember that the beauty… Continue

Let us not abuse .....?

Everyday I get deeply hurt when I see us individuals living abusive life. We can be abusing alcohol, freedom, money, good people and list goes on and on. But to be more specific, my attention real get caught by abuse of alcohol and freedom in all the areas of my work or I can say where I spend much of time. It even starts in my own family. Where I see my own biological mother who is into alcohol big time and really abusing it causing a lot of costly damages around the family. Where it…

Matric Outreach!!! (by Luvuyo Lonwabo Precious Bayeni)

 

The time has come for the Grade 12 to make their mark. The year 2010 was clouded by

happy and sad memories. We saw the World Cup lift up peaople's spirit and unity

within the country, and continent as a whole. That experience was short-lived though

with the Public service strike that dragged forever, needless to say its

consequences still haunt us even today.

 

Despite all this it was then necesseccary…

Honesty

There is one thing I cant run away from. That is MYSELF. I am an individual who is very weak when it comes to confrontations ( I am getting better) simply because I feel/think for others how will they be after I said or done what I needed to do after confrontation. Even saying NO is still a struggle for me. It is not good for me. I guess that 's one reason which made me not to continue playing soccer in elite level or any world where it involves anti-personal/emotional characters. There, is not… Continue

Youthzone Impact on 2010 matriculants

Is great and rewarding to hear from different individuals to hear that Youthzone 2010 matric participants did well in the final exams and people appreciating our work and most above our friendship.
