Entitlement The idea of entitlement is sometimes confused with some sense of ownership. This is partly true. Ownership is a very simple concept; a state of being an owner. Also, ownership of material objects or entities is very simple to understand. But, entitlement in our society takes a different form when it comes to men...

The Male Body …
Increases in men replacing meals with legal appearance- and performance-enhancing drugs, or APEDs, such as protein powders and bars, have led researchers to recognize it as a variant of disordered eating. Researchers at Alliant International University presented a study at the 2015 American Psychological Association’s annual convention suggesting lean and muscular male body ideals perpetuated by the media...

Romance is Like Alcohol …
Romance is like alcohol. It can heal and it can hurt. It can create joy and it can create pain. It’s often responsible for some of the best and some of the worst moments of your life. It can obscure a terrible idea into a brilliant one; it can distort a terrible person into a...

My Mistakes …
One of the most difficult things to admit, even to us, is that the mistake is ours. It’s easier to point fingers and blame someone else for what could be purely your fault. This is true in our personal lives and also in the corporate world. Who takes the blame for a break-up in relationships?...

Rebirth of Black …
Remember when you finished high school? It was your first taste of how life calls on you to make decisions that don’t involve your friends. You realised that friendship is not necessarily forever.

This concept that some people have that black people are simply complacent and lazy and blaming everything on apartheid – or that thing whose name we shall not say – is a not only maddening, but illustrates just how people were duped...

Woman, Take your Place …
At my previous job there was an elderly gentleman, who one day in a lift exclaimed ‘you know women were never meant to work, they have never been built for it. They should be at home tending after the children. This work thing isn’t for you’. At the time we were about 4 people in...

Always Be Grateful …
Life is full of BLESSINGS, but most of us fail to acknowledge all the things that are going right in our lives. Some always play the victim card. I use to blame my poor background for not succeeding in life. For a long time that was my EXCUSE. Some are always standing on the complaint...
