Die sleutel tot sukses

Wat is die sleutel tot sukses?

Is dit harde werk, lang ure of net intelligensie? Of moet jy bloot geniet wat jy doen ...?

Wanneer 'n geleentheid aan die deur klop, MAAK OOP!! Almal sal sukses beskryf uit hul perspektief en waarby hulle baatgevind het. Wat beteken dit vir my? Hierdie is 'n baie belangriker vraag as wat dit op die oog af lyk. En die heel belangrikste van hierdie vraag is jou antwoord. Maak seker dat jy die antwoord ken. 

Mense dink dat harde werk alles in die lewe is ... dat harde werk alle drome, wense en begeertes sal vervul, maar harde werk sonder passie is soos 'n swerwer sonder rigting.

As jy geniet wat jy doen, dan word dit 'n stokperdjie en jy spandeer baie tyd aan jou stokperdjie. Dis 'n algemene feit dat as jy baie tyd aan iets spandeer, dan bemeester jy dit. Jy word 'n meester van jou belangstelling. Jy kan 24/7 daaroor praat, sonder dat dit jou verveel.

Vergeet van geld, geld is nie alles in die lewe nie. Meer geld - meer probleme. Meer kennis - meer oplossings. Die wonderlike ding van die lewe is dat niemand weet wat in die toekoms gaan of kan gebeur nie. Jy kan jouself net voorberei, so goed as wat dit vir jou moontlik is. Jou prioriteite moet reg wees en jy moet 'n ernstige gesprek hê oor wat vir jou belangrik in die lewe is. Daar is 'n spreekwoord wat sê dat bloed dikker is as water, daarom moet jou familie voor jou bloedrooi sportmotor kom, voor die duur goue horlosie, maar na jou geloof.

Geen mens kan alleen sukses bereik nie. Almal het 'n rots nodig waarop jy jou huisie kan bou, waar jy jou vuurtjie kan maak om jou teen die koue van die lewe te kan beskerm. Bou jou huis op sukses, bou jou huis op Christus. Dit is altyd moeilik, maar dit is nooit verkeerd nie. Moet nie hard werk nie, werk slim. Die wyse mense vertel ons dat hulle 99 keer misluk het, en die 100ste keer het hulle geslaag. Moet nooit 'n droom opgee omdat dit te moeilik is nie. Glo aan jou droom, jaag jou droom na, misluk liewer 99 keer en slaag die 100ste keer. Dis jou lewensdroom ... jou toekoms ... jou lewe!

Swart op wit is jou lewe klaar neergeskryf in 'n boek, weggebêre in 'n kassie. Al wat jy kort, is 'n sleutel tot sukses!!

[Theano Oosthuizen, Dux-leerder van 2022. Met hierdie wyse woorde wat hy reeds in Junie 2022 geskryf het, wil hy die graad 12's van 2024 uitdaag om hul akademie met passie aan te pak en hul skoolloopbaan suksesvol af te sluit. Onthou, die sleutel tot 'n suksesvolle toekoms is in jou hande.]    

Think about it: Who are you?

Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody

That’s Not My Job!
This is a story about four people named: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody‘s job.
Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody would not do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Who are you? Everybody? Somebody? Anybody? Or Nobody?

Want to be somebody?
