[if there really is anyone reading this]
Today in class..business class to be precise, i listened attentively as the teacher preached about logistics and the importance of stock control..it was all very interesting but i wasn't particularly intrigued and at that precise moment, i had to answer nature's call :)
And so i did..
A few minutes later, i returned and found a class gripped by what the man had to say. This in turn evoked an interest on my part as this was weird.. No one in that class (except for a few), actually paid attention but now..at that very moment, everyone's eyes were glued to his face and their ears suddenly eager to hear what he had to say..
"Whether you go to U.B or WITS or UCT (my favourite) or a local college, you're all going to leave with a degree. Once you graduate, your salary will not be based on whether you went to a top university or a college. The salary'll be the same..in the eyes of the employer, you'll all be equal..", he said.
The words "you'll all be equal" echoed in my mind for quite some time..
For as long as I can remember, I've always been an ambitious girl..full of hopes and buzzing with dreams but for that split second, i didn't know where i stood. His words forced me to think about my life in great detail..to question every decision that has ever been made about my life..
What do i really want out life?
What is my purpose?
I believe the word for such intricate questions is introspection..
Do we know who we really are? What we really want out of life? How are we're going to get there? When we're going to get there? How long it's going to take to achieve our dreams? To realize our hopes?
The answer to that question, according to me, is still to be thought of.. I know i want to be successful, wealthy, HAPPY, influential and and and and and ..the list goes on and on.. and I'm not sure how it's going to happen but it's because of one of my favourite words - FAITH - that enables me to firmly believe that it will happen..
Faith is defined as belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence.
Dreams are defined as conditions or achievements that are longed for; an aspiration.
Hope is defined as to expect and desire.
So..regardless of life's adversities..and numerous trials and tribulations..
NEVER BE SCARED TO HAVE FAITH, TO DREAM AND TO HOPE..
It can't all be in vain..

| Never stop dreaming, hoping and having faith. Never. |
