Great Minds
This might not be believable, but at my very earliest ages I have realized the fact that: Great minds talk about ideas, meanwhile small ideas talk about people.
I will soon bring to you my Theory of Motivation, G.I.A.H.
1. G: Getting too comfortable where you are is a sure-fire-way of you getting stacked where you are. I want to remind you of the law of the wholes, that once you are inside a whole, stop digging otherwise you might not come out.
2. I: I don't think nor believe you can be better everybody, but I do think, believe and know that you can be better than you never thought you can be.
3. A: Always have confidence; Know that confidence is knowing yourself (your limitations and the heights you are capable of reaching) and accepting in contrast of waiting for someone else's affirmation.
4. H: Have inspiration and motivation. Inspiration and motivation comes from different directions and different people... you may be advised by a kid, a drunkard, a prisoner or someone inferior according to you... but always know that true inspiration comes from within. It is the one that knows you better and it is capable of driving you harder than you can be pushed by anyone else.
This is Mr. Mhlongo Bishop Emson, the first born of my maternal grand parents. He is a brother to the two men by his side. He is the man who raised my mother in Johannesburg right in the 60s. He was even the first man to take me to Johannesburg in the early 90s and he had to take me back to Giyani for my studies.
I was troubled to hear about his death in November on 2007. I Will miss him. May his soul rest in peace, I'll always miss him! Xivavula!!!
TRUST IN THE LORD
Trust in the Lord with all your heart. And lean not to your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5
ACKNOWLEDGE THE LORD
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths
Proverbs 3:6
Well by my very own lovely cousin, Dennis Mhlongo... he said it very clearly that : "The person who tries to forgive, finds it harder to forget, but the one who forgives always forget". This is the guy I've grown by his side.Poetry was our breakfast, lunch and super. I remember on 2004 while he was in grade 12 in Hatlani Muyexe High School, something that was not expected by those who can't wish others the best. He released an album entitled "Bye Bye Babylon", hey you won't believe how it was sold, but if you can hear it you'll believe me when I say it was hot.
These two men above are my uncles, they are the youngest of my three uncles,these men are (from right to left)Mr. Mhlongo Reckson, the young but tall one, & Mr. Mhlongo Harrison the short but second elder one. I love these three men, these two plus the other one.
These men are my mother and her three other sisters' brothers. They have been good brothers on each other for so long right from their early ages in the 50s even now they are still having a good relationship. Their love toward each other and other people is the one which have made me to be a good brother to my siblings.
When things are not in your bag,you won't know how heavy they might be. The same with these men,they are very handsome, very powerful, and very strict. This makes it difficult for people to socialize with them when they don't know them
PROVERBS 16:9
A man's heart devises his way: but Lord directs his steps
PROVERBS 16:3
Ask the Lord to bless your plans and you'll be successful in carrying them out.
PROVERBS 16:9
You may make plans, but God directs your actions
PROVERBS 16:3
Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts shall be established.
Six To Seven Tings the Lord Hate
These six things does the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination to Him:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that innocent blood, An heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to to mischief, A false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brethren
Proverbs 6:16-19
LEAN ON THE LORD
Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil
Proverbs 3:7
THE IMPORTANCE OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD
It shall be wealth to your navel, and marrow to your bones
Proverbs 3:8
