Dink daaroor ...

Die verlede is jou les ...

Die hede ... is jou geskenk!

Die toekoms ... is jou motivering!

Flashback Friday: Rules for Teachers 1872

Rules for Teachers – 1872

1. Teachers will fill the lamps and clean the chimney each day.
2. Each teacher will bring a bucket of water and a scuttle of coal for the day’s sessions.
3. Make your pens carefully. You may whittle nibs to the individual tastes of the pupils.
4. Men teachers may take one evening each week for courting purposes, or two evenings a week if they go to church regularly.
5. After ten hours in school, the teachers may spend the remaining time reading the Bible or other good books.
6. Women teachers who marry or engage in improper conduct will be dismissed.
7. Every teacher should lay aside from each day’s pay a goodly sum of his earnings. He should use his savings during his retirement years so that he will not become a burden on society.
8. Any teacher who smokes, uses liquor in any form, visits pool halls or public halls, or gets shaved in a barber shop, will give good reasons for people to suspect his worth, intentions, and honesty.
9. You may ride in a buggy with a man, if the man is your father or brother.

Think about it ...

It's almost the end of this season and we fought very hard to get here you should always remember HTS, that "A MAN WHO KNOWS WHERE HIS GOING WILL ALWAYS WIN THE RACE AGAINST THE MAN WHO DOESN'T". SO, before beginning each day ask, yourself how would you like to feel at the end of it.

RCL 2023: Wednesday wisdom

When you walked into HTS, you did not walk with a friend you walk alone and as far as you know your parents aren't paying school for you and your friends ... they pay school fees for you,  so that you can get a better education and self-esteem for your goal in life. Be confident in yourself. Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission. Always be looking forward. You can never plan the future by the past. Live a life of purpose and hone your skills

Potpourri: Nutsmanne wys ander stoffasie

'n Vriendin vra verlede week dat ek iets oor nors mense moet skryf. Ek het belowe om aan die idee te herkou en haar te laat weet.

Intussen het ons student se eksterne hardeskyf en haar yskas gebreek, asook ons wasmasjien en my voertuig.

Wanneer 'n mens iets laat herstel, maar dit is meer stukkend as voordat dit herstel is, laat dit jou warm onder die kraag.

Daar is al hoe meer mense wat dieselfde klagtes het. Oral word die boodskap oorgedra dat mense in die huidige ekonomiese klimaat swaarkry. Tog word daar voete gesleep.

Vra jy vir iemand om 'n kwotasie te gee, gaan weke verby sonder enige teken van belangstelling. Vra jy vir iemand om die kombuiskraan of die heining te herstel, word daar só gedraai dat jy later opgee.

Wanneer iemand uiteindelik sy weg oopsien om 'n kwotasie te gee en opdaag om die werk te doen, is tevredenheid met die eindproduk nie gewaarborg nie.

'n Dekade gelede het iemand my wasmasjien, wat nie meer water ingetap het nie, herstel. Toe hy die wasmasjien terugbesorg, het dit nie meer self die water warm gemaak nie. Nadat hy dit sover gekry het om weer die water warm te maak, kon die wasmajien nie meer toldroog (spin) nie.

Nadat daar onlangs aan my voertuig se ingewande gewerskaf is kon ek nie my voertuig in 'n rat kry nie - terwyl daar blykbaar nie naby die ratkas gewerk is nie.

Alle nutsmanne is darem nie van dieselfde stoffasie nie. Daar is diegene wat hul voete optel en werkstevredenheid waarborg.

Dankie aan die flukse nutsmanne. Mag julle ondernemings floreer.

[Dankie vir Anoniem wat die uitknipsel gestuur het. Besoek gerus Netwerk24 (Noordkaap Bulletin) se gereelde rubrieke - daar is baie stof tot nadenke in hierdie rubrieke.]

Dink hieroor ...

Northland kollege se skoolhoof, John Tapene, het die volgende woorde aangehaal uit 'n regter, wat gereeld met die jeug werk, se toespraak: "Ons hoor altyd die vrae van tieners: Wat kan ons doen?
Waarheen kan ons gaan?

My antwoord is: Gaan huis toe, sny die gras, was die vensters, was die motor, leer om te kook, 'n vlot te bou, 'n werk te kry. Besoek die siekes, bestudeer jou lesse en nadat jy klaar is, lees 'n boek.

Jou dorp skuld jou nie ontspanningsgeriewe nie en jou ouers skuld jou nie pret nie.

Die wêreld skuld jou niks nie. Dis jy wat die wêreld iets skuld.

Jy skuld dit jou tyd, jou energie en talent sodat niemand weer in 'n oorlog betrokke sal wees of eensaam en siek nie.

Met ander woorde, word groot, hou op om 'n tjankbalie te wees. Kom uit jou droomwêreld en ontwikkel 'n ruggraat, nie 'n wensbeen nie.

Begin optree soos 'n verantwoordelike persoon. Jy is belangrik en jy word benodig.

Dis te laat om rond te sit en te wag vir iemand om eendag iets te doen. Eendag is NOU en daardie iemand is JY."

[Geleen.]

Happy Women’s day Mzantsi!!

A woman - A Queen ! 

The power of a woman is not by how they look or dress, but by how strong they are internally. Women have been through a lot , and they are still going through a lot - being abused and molested by their husbands. Being judged by the society daily. But they still soldier on. Women spend their entire lives dedicated to us. Till present, these wonderful woman do so many amazing things in the lives of others. 

Women don't need to find a voice, they have a voice, and they need to feel empowered to use it, and people need to be encouraged to listen. 

Thank you for making life possible, thank you for being so different and strong! Happy Women's Day! We say Happy Women's day to the strong, beautiful, funny and incredible women! I will never stop admiring your strength, care and intelligence. It is through you all that we have warm homes today. 

Wathint’abafazi Wathint’imbokodo!!
