Andy Warhol said, “In the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes” – You can’t choose the 15 minutes but why would you be world famous.
I don’t know how I would e world famous but as that was said by Andy Warhol, I believe that it would be achieved because when he said so, perhaps he was inspired or revealed by the Holy Spirit.
In this world, everybody seems to be great and being great it’s also being famous, isn’t it? I will personally wait and see until such time arrives and when it arrives, I would seize the opportunity as such might only happen once in life.
If I become famous for these fifteen minutes, I would like to realise my dreams. Despite the time, what I could do is to focus and make such opportunity to remain forever. For instance, within fifteen minutes when I would become famous, I would make much money and then save into an investment account in that frame of time. Whatever would be the situation after these fifteen minutes, I would still remain an investor and from there my dreams would become realities.
That’s the reason why people should know how to seize any opportunities offered or presented to them because sometimes things only happen once in life and depending on those who could seize and make positive use of them.

End Violence against Women
Women should be informed about the nature of abusive relationships, safe dating practices, and sexual harassment, sexual assault, and the rights of women since many have been victims in any way, and due to ignorance they cannot report it.
Violence against women is about power and control. Violence against women cuts across race, religion, income, class and culture. Violence against women is deeply embedded in all cultures, so that millions of women consider it a way of life.
However, according to some males, women should be treated as human beings, with dignity, respect and love. It is a shame that men abuse women; men must denounce by all means any violence against any women, and treat women as equal. Real men should not hit women as will gain nothing from it due to the fact that strong men don’t beat women, only cowards do so.
Women reflect our mothers and research has shown that to abuse a woman is to abuse your mother, and the concept of abusing your mother is a terrible one. Violence against your mother is a terrible thing. Violence against women is violence against God and violence against women should be fought by demonstrating dignity and fairness in all personal and public relations with women. It is from these immediate personal interactions that the ripple effect of equality will be spread. The simple key, however, is that every male has to commit himself to his behaviour.
It should be noted that some women stay in an abusive relationship because of number of reasons such as many women believe that they love their partners; they think that the relationship has its good pints, it’s not all bad they tell themselves; many women live in the hope that it will change and many others are afraid that the threats by their partners to kill them or the family will become a reality.

“Rock journalism is people who can’t write interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read” – Frank Zappa
This is a very complex statement and it’s only engaging Frank Zappa. How people who cannot talk be interviewed? It should be understood when it’s about people who cannot write interviewing people who can talk for people who cannot read and that should make sense.
I am not trying to negatively criticise the statement as the message can only be explained by Frank and to decode someone’s idea, you have really to enter into is understanding. Nevertheless, as from the media, we can constructively criticise such a statement as one of our roles is to educate and inform people.
Therefore, from Frank’s codification, it can be understood that “rock Journalism” is about interviewing people for people cannot read due to the fact that the interviewers cannot write. In this situation, rock journalism, I believe, should have to spend a lot as it involves lots of media tools which could allow such interviewers to do their job.
Media people should be very careful about what they write and the way they write it. It should be noted that stories or statements should be kept as simple as possible as to allow readers or viewers to face validity i.e. allow lay-persons who have no technical knowledge about your topic or such as statement to understand the message you attempt to convey.

Refugee Centre in Cape Town
Refugees living in Cape Town have seen the tears of their cries being wrapped as the Department of Home Affairs has moved from Nyanga, where many have been targeted by local residents, to the new office in Maitland.
Foreign nationals living with Asylum, Refugees Status... have encouraged the initiative of the Minister of Home Affairs as she was personally involved in making this dream comes reality. Nevertheless, Mr. Richard Sikakane, the Manager for the Department of Home Affairs Refugee Centre in Cape Town has been congratulated by Refugees for his hard work as well as the hard work of all Home Affairs officials.
In the past months, foreign nationals have faced challenges going to Nyanga as every day one was at least robbed if not stabbed or killed; some people were even scared to go and renew their expired papers, others who took the risks to go were sometimes victims of crimes such as robbery, murder, hijacking, etc.
With the new office, there is a secured parking lot for as many people driving as possible, which was not the case in Nyanga. In fact; in Maitland, it is noticed that Home Affairs inspectors visiting the office so far in weekly basis as to investigating how the work is going and how many people are being served.
So, congratulations to the new Minister of Home Affairs with the visibility of her hard work, and particular and special congratulations to the entire office of Home Affairs Refugee Centre in Cape Town. The work well done cannot be hidden or ignored!!!!

Self-esteem
People are very proud of themselves as they value their personalities, reputations, etc, which leads them to self-esteem. They believe more on themselves despite their weaknesses and they rarely recognise them.
Is self-esteem a quality or a defect? This is real dilemma due to the fact that for some people, other people’s self-esteem should be seen as a defect while they cannot judge themselves and for other people, self-esteem is the way of standing strong and not letting people to judge you negatively.
Most human beings are the same as no one easily accepts his/her weaknesses and threats. Being negatively judged by others is seems like a failure for human beings even though their conscience know that it’s true. That’s the reason why they say it easy to judge others than to be judged; it’s because of self-esteem as you will not want people saying bad things about you or about your family, etc.
From my point of view, self-esteem could be better for those who really feel that they want it and not need it as from there, they will do things right as to position themselves within the society and that will contribute to the development of mentalities, not only fir such people but for the all society as the true development starts with the change and/or development in people’s mentalities.

What motivates me...?
Actually, I am a smart person as I can adapt easily in any situation that my life could face. Nevertheless, motivations also impact on my opinions as being a human being. I am always motivated by positive thoughts and opinions as well as positive acts.
Every human being is motivated by good things such as good remuneration in the context of work, awareness of his/her effort when serving a certain community, academic recognition when studying hard i.e. a hardworking student who distinguishes himself amongst others, should pass with a distinction in that particular subject or graduate with a cum laude.
Personally, what motivates me is hard work, energy, enthusiasm, professionalism, so many more. I am a very ambitious person and once strengths are being motivated or supported, I’d do perform in the way to benefit not only myself, but also the organisation where I work, the community where I live as well as the country where I reside.
However, my weaknesses are also part of what motivates me as being challenged, I try the best of myself to prove what I am able to as I do not believe in failure in my life because I am of winner’s race. Finally, whatsoever is the situation, prayer always motivates me as to stand victorious.
