Did you ever stop and think about how you got to where you are today? Are you here because you wanted to be here or have circumstances led you to where you are? Well research has shown that many young people have not had the opportunity to follow the right career paths or even end up in the desired courses due to:

Ø  Going after career counselors

Ø  Aptitude tests

Ø  Parental expectations

Ø  Peer pressure and

Ø  Salary advantages



At some stage in every young person’s life we are all hit with the big question what do I want to do?  This decision does not come easy and it takes a lot of time to think through and very few young people get the opportunity to determine what they want to be from day one and actually for fill it. This is why it is important for young people to know and asses themselves by determining their strengths, weaknesses and interests in order to find a career path that suits their personality and profile.

Setting goals and believing in them do not always work for everyone so this is why young people should take the time to find their purpose and for fill it to their fullest. When it comes to your future no one can determine it for you and it lies in your hands as an individual to make decisions that will benefit you. Yes! Everyone wants to be successful and rich but young people tend to forget that success is earned through hard work and dedication, but most importantly being passionate about what you do will later benefit you financially.

Not everyone can end up where they want to be and not everyone is happy where they are, and later will find passion in something new. I am not trying to break young people’s spirit when it comes to following their dreams, but it is important for young people to know nothing comes easy. Not everyone knows where their passion lies but experience and time will tell and make it all worth. So remember never to give up on yourself or your dreams. Read More

 So what is your passion?

Modern Society Syndrome

Be yourself

Michell Raduvha

Have you ever had to say or do something or be someone you not, just to make someone else happy. Well I am that someone who was bullied and victimized by modern society syndrome. Modern society has changed to a point where young people continuously have to change:

v  Who they are

v  Your morals, values and principles

v  What you wear

v  How you talk and walk

v  Your views and mentality towards life

Just to adapt to:

Ø  A certain lifestyle

Ø  Certain friends

Ø  Fashion etc

Yes it is fun to keep up with the latest fashion, music or even trends but how did it come to a point where modernity changed who we are, how we treat others differently because they do not fit into a certain lifestyle.  South Africa has shown and proved to be such a diverse country with different languages, races, beliefs and cultures, so how did society lose themselves to modern culture.

Youth has become fake and copy cats of modern culture and the process has lost respect for themselves and others. Too many young people are misled due to pressures of modern society, which leads to:

      Depression

      Anxiety

      School drop outs

      Becoming anti-social

      Drug and alcohol abuse and sadly

      Suicide

This is why it is important to be and accept yourself, that’s where respect starts from you. This way you stay focused on what and who you want to be.

Save money, Dream big

Money has become the biggest influencer in many young people’s lives and it is inspiring to see them work very hard to improve their financial status. Youth has dedicated most of their time to making or getting money of which a majority of the money they attain helps them establish themselves ensuring they are unaffected by poverty and unemployment. Despite the vast amounts of young people establishing themselves financially, they are still faced by many issues of which a major issue is money management.The constant effect of fitting into a youthful lifestyle damages them financially and they only notice after they have fallen back in to the ruins of unemployment and poverty. Financially able youth usually find themselves living a lifestyle that is difficult to maintain and is also unnecessary. Read More

 This lifestyle includes:

v  Impressing friends materially

v  Living in unaffordable establishments

v  Peer Pressure

v  Expensive fashion

v  Partying inappropriately

There is no harm in enjoying your hard earned money but there is no reason to destroy a well-established future. Young people may not realize how peer pressure causes them to waste money, distracting them from increasing their wealth and improving their communities and the country as a whole. So much time and money is wasted by youth competing with modern society diverting their focus from building themselves or even investing in positive things.

Positive financial lifestyle includes

v  Becoming entrepreneurs

v  Acquiring skills

v  Educating themselves more

v  Investing in assets

v  Becoming socially responsible
