"Kosie," sê die juffrou, "as ek R500 vir jou pa leen en hy moet my terugbetaal teen R50 per week, hoeveel sal hy my ná tien weke skuld?"

"R500," sê Kosie.

"Jy ken nie jou tafels nie!" raas die juffrou.

"En juffrou ken nie my pa nie!"

Juffrou: "Jannie, kyk hoe fluks is die mier. Hy werk die hele dag sonder om te kla."

Poem: Unwell

I smile to the world for it knows nothing
Of my cries nor it's thorns that hurt me.
It's trees are of beauty
For they attract many I see.

There they stood
And here they stay
For they are brawny
Rooted and Great

The wind is uncertain
For it's as my life, for I live as it comes
And reap solidity of coming times

In the heat of the star.
In such days I awake to win,
For in it comes delight
Where memories are made fun.

Why is it I speak by tears,
Accompanied by quavering voice?

Is it of the worlds spears or the thoughts of sly men?

For I have met many with gerund
Smiles and character
That dissemble motive.

Tips for third term

Is it better to sleep late or wake up early to study?
Getting a good night's rest is definitely important, but sleep can also help with the recall of study material. Especially on those exams for which you only study once, it is better to stay up late and get some sleep after memorizing terms than to wake up early and cram.

Is it better to cram or sleep?
When it comes to retaining new information, napping has been proven to be even more effective than cramming. There is a delicate balance between napping just enough and napping too much, though. Limit your naps to 20 to 30 minutes, and plan for naps to end by late afternoon.

How to prepare for the final exam?
* Make the Most of Class Time.
* Study with Classmates.

* Take Advantage of School Hours.
* Create Flashcards.
* Find a Good Spot.
* Read and Review - Early and Often.
* Stay Organized.

How can I study 10x faster?
* Take handwritten notes.
* Say it out loud.
* Try self-testing.
* Teach the information to someone else.
* Space out your review sessions.
Change your practice technique each day.

Die juffrou betrap een van die seuntjies in haar klas dat hy lelik praat. 

"Wayne,"sê sy, "jy moenie so lelik praat nie. Waar leer jy sulke woorde?"

"My pa het so gesê," antwoord Wayne.

"Ag, dit maak seker nie saak nie, want jy weet tog nie wat dit beteken nie"

"Ek weet tog, juffrou," help Wayne haar reg. "Dit beteken die kar wil nie vat nie."

LOL: Blou Maandag-humor ... Goeie verskoning

'n Man jaag deur 'n snelstrik en besef sy flater toe hy die patrolliemotor sien wat oorgaan tot aksie. Hy besluit om weg te jaag, maar sien hoe die patrolliemotor hom stadig maar seker inhaal. Ten einde laas besluit hy maar om te stop en die gevolge te dra. 

Toe die beampte by hom kom, haal dié sy boekie uit sy sak en sê vir die bestuurder. "Kyk man, ek het 'n moeilike dag gehad en nou staan jy nog en wegjaag ook. Jy beter 'n baie goeie verskoning opdis, sodat ek jou nie moet toesluit nie!" "Ag," sê die man " ... my vrou het verlede week met 'n patrollieman weggeloop en ek dog toe dis jy wat haar dalk wil terugbring!"

Poem: A women's life

Early in the morning I wake up

I look up in the sky for strength 

I pray to GOD for Guidance

My face is dry and still I cry.

Will I ever be free? Will I feel true love?

My master who once said he loves me

He locked me up, and beats me.

His hands were once gentle 

His actions are unbelievable 

My man my HUSBAND 

Your hands destroyed me

I can't face My family 

I keep looking for sympathy

Our kids are afraid of you 

Your hands have destroyed me

I cook and clean.

I offer you food with a smile, like I'm happy

I wish you could see your heart that your need me 

But everytime you drunk you beat me

Your hands have destroyed me.

I remember the time I met you

You were so fine and handsome

I couldn't believe I'm with you

It was our time 'now or never'

I wish your mother was here

Because now I live with fear

Will I see another day?

Will I again say my prayers?

My master who beats me

My man my HUSBAND 

I can't move freely 

Your presence torments me 

When you walk next to me

You make me feel worthy 

Will you survive without me

Today I leave you

My man MY HUSBAND 

Will I ever miss you?

Think about it ...

Here are 7 lessons on The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale:

Lesson 1: Believe in Yourself and Your Unlimited Potential
The first step to harnessing the power of positive thinking is to cultivate unshakeable belief in yourself and your abilities. Recognize that you possess the inner strength and resources to achieve your goals and overcome any obstacles that may arise.

Lesson 2: Replace Negative Thoughts with Positive Affirmations
Challenge negative thoughts that undermine your confidence and replace them with positive affirmations. Affirmations are powerful tools that can reshape your mindset and instill a sense of optimism and empowerment.

Lesson 3: Focus on the Present Moment and Embrace Gratitude
Avoid dwelling on past regrets or worrying about future uncertainties. Instead, focus on the present moment and cultivate gratitude for the blessings in your life. Gratitude fosters a positive outlook and attracts more abundance.

Lesson 4: Visualize Your Success
Engage in vivid visualization exercises to mentally paint a picture of your desired outcomes. Visualize yourself achieving your goals, overcoming challenges, and experiencing success. This mental rehearsal can strengthen your belief and motivation.

Lesson 5: Surround Yourself with Positive Influences
Seek out positive and supportive individuals who uplift and encourage you. Avoid negative influences that drain your energy and dampen your spirit. Surround yourself with those who reinforce your positive thinking and inspire you to reach your full potential.

Lesson 6: Practice Forgiveness and Release Negative Emotions
Holding onto grudges and resentment can weigh you down and hinder your personal growth. Practice forgiveness, not for the sake of others, but for your own liberation. Let go of negative emotions and embrace the power of healing and self-compassion.

Lesson 7: Cultivate a Positive Attitude and Approach
Develop a positive and optimistic attitude that permeates every aspect of your life. Approach challenges with a belief in your ability to overcome them, and seek opportunities to turn setbacks into stepping stones for growth.

“Ma, ek is nie lus nie! Al die kinders is lelik met my, die onderwysers is goor, die plek is heeltemal ondraaglik!”

“Trek aan jou klere, Richard! Per slot van sake is jy die skoolhoof.”
