The first and foremost thing to achieve in this life is to respect yourself, love your self. Unless you are able to accept your self you can never be successful. One can never accept anyone in life. To know and love yourself is the biggest success. Success is not that which you can see today and forget tomorrow.Success is that which remains with you through out your life.

Mediocrity
In the short 22 years that I’ve been fortunate enough to walk this earth, I’ve met so many people who are just happy with being ordinary. Some of these very people were or are still my friends to date. What always surprises me is that amongst all these people, there was everyone from intellectuals to talented athletes. Yet, they were all content with just being ordinary.
You are probably wondering why I seem to be so cut-up about their ambitions, or lack there of… Well, the way I see it, life would be a futile exercise if all there was to it was birth, survival and death… I think your maker- regardless of religious delineation- has better things to do with their time. Granted he/she has eternity but still…
I started realizing that there was such an attitude when I first went to a 21st birthday. Naïve old me got there expecting a lot more than an excuse for people to drink and parents to sum up in a day what they should have been saying every other day… So after I realized that I might have missed the memo, I eventually asked a friend of mine what the birthday person had accomplished that we all had to be there all dressed up and all… His answer, “Hao, she’s 21 bra! What do you mean!?”
“Ok, great! But what has she done in that 21 years!?”
“Errr…Hae man… Just drink and be marry!”
Yeah, I know…
At this point there’ll be those who’ll be quick to say, “But she doesn’t have a child and she’s still in school…and…and…and…”
Right, now explain to me when it happened that our standards dropped so low that not doing all the things we’re not meant to and doing all those that we’re meant to became extra-ordinary behavior!?
I don’t care what anyone says, at 21, you shouldn’t have a child (you cant afford to-emotionally, financially and/or otherwise), most people are still in tertiary and…and…and…
So anyway, back to the mediocrity story. So, according to what I gathered, all you have to do to be worth celebrating is…just be ordinary…?
Remember Zombo? He’s the late Kwaito singer that was signed to Arthur’s record label 999 and recently passed away. All due respect is afforded to him and his family but when did he become a legend!? Has this man ever done anything legendary and if yes, where was I when it all happened!?
I tuned into Live on SABC 1 to find Andile going on about how we had lost a legend to the music industry. I nearly fell of my bed cause I thought maybe the likes of Bra Hugh had passed. And then he said, Zombo. Zombo!? A legend!?Since When!?
Recently, we really did loose a legend to the industry, Mam Marium Makeba. I don’t think it’s even necessary for me to justify my disdain at equating a Zombo to Marium Makeba.
We are a nation of extra-ordinary people with an extra-ordinary past… But we give credit to the most trivial of accomplishments. As an individual who believes there is more to life than birth, survival and death, you are, or should be at least, aware of the fact that you need to leave something to this world but more importantly, you need to lead an extra-ordinary life!
Be grand…Be memorable… Be inspiring…
And then…and only then, will we call you a legend…
Not mediocre…

Respect and value are 2 important aspects of our life. The more you respect yourself the more likely you’ll respect others. The higher you value yourself the more likely to look for value in others.
