Of all the forms of courage the ability to laugh is the most…

To have the ability to laugh when we face hard situations is the most courageous thing you can do. Many times we meet people in the street, and ask them how they are, you will find that they will smile and say, I well thank you!

I am always so amazed by some who are ill, they suffer severe pain and comfortableness but they don’t complain. They are able to still send a smile your way. Being a Christian and growing up in a Christian home my mom always says, With Jesus in my boat I can smile at the storm.

That is how I prefer facing my hardships, trials or whatever obstacles that come my way. I want to be able to smile and laugh and know that everything will be alright.

Only bad things happen quickly

As PR students we are thought to be the thought leaders and the boundary spanners in order for foresee trends of what might and might not happen. I would think only if we fail in doing our task, will bad things happen quickly.

We are taught to be able to manage potential risks and crisis’s that could affect the organisation we find ourselves in, and surely I would think that these rules applies to us in personal capacity too.

We are not mind readers and cannot predict the future but we are equipped with the necessary skills to help us lesson potential risk or issues.

Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid

I often tell my daughters that they need to be bold and confident. Not to be scared and just accept things because that is what people say? They need to challenge others if they don’t agree, this all can off course be done in a respectful way and people respect others for believing in themselves and standing up for their values.

This is something I only learned later on in life. I always kept to myself and hated confrontation or challenging others. But the working world has made me strong and I soon learned that if you are not bold you will miss out on great opportunities.  

We forget that someone is always watching and listening to us. You might be able to do the job but you shy away. Being bold shows the right people in the right place and time that you are courageous and are capable of handling situations. If you don’t, you will miss out on great and even greater opportunities. People can only respect you if you respect yourself, that you stand firm in what you believe in and they will back you when it’s needed. So be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid.

If not now then when?

My mother always told me there is no better time than the present, Why do we always wait? What are we waiting on? If only I have listened to her. I’ve always said that I am a master of procrastination and this qualification has always brought me into a heap of (unnecessary) trouble.

Why do we procrastinate? To me it is because there’s still time to do it. Don’t worry about it I have loads of time before my deadline. What we forget is that life goes on and so other things come up that also demands our time.

Before we know it, deadline is upon us and we’re panicking, thinking back to the days I had all the time. Obviously I’m speaking of experience as it happens to me time and time again. Hopefully this would be the very last time and I have learned my lesson.

If you wait for perfect conditions, you’ll never get anything done. So don’t wait, don’t delay, do what you can do today as tomorrow has its own list of demands.

Why I have conversations

I love talking, ask anyone that knows me well. But mostly I have conversations because I want to know, I’m curious and I love to engage and find out more about people. We converse because we want to share what we know and maybe in return for more or new information.

We converse because we want learn and be informed and be in the know. Why do people say that, why do people do that is all things that allows us to share ideas with each other. Each morning, at work I make a point of catching up with my team, it might not be immediately but it will happen during the course of the morning. I am then able to ask them how they are and what the day looking like, I am able to find out about any challenges and then be able to find a solution for it.

By doing this, I can see if my team is well and in order and if not if I can do anything to help. On a professional level I am able to mitigate any potential challenges we might face as well as able to plan my day.

It gives my team a sense of belonging and that besides the work they do there are still able to care about the person. If it was not for communication all this would not have been possible.
