Lessons We Can All Learn From The Kardashians

Image
Let’s face it, the Kardashian clan doesn’t have the most sterling reputation. Whether you perceive them as spoiled, obnoxious, or downright annoying, the family name does not conjure up the most pleasant thoughts. Sometimes, however, I do look forward to watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians every Sunday night. The show details their vacations, their milestones, their stressors, and all those slice-of-life moments in between. Within their dynamic, one could gauge that they’re people, trying to navigate their way, just like the rest of us. Here are 4 life lessons we can learn from the Kardashian family 1. Let go of fear and accept that things change . After Kris’s 22-year-old marriage to Bruce Jenner disintegrated, Bruce has been living on his own, while still seeing his children and maintain an amicable relationship with Kris. Of course the past may give way to fondness and nostalgia, but I thought Kris’s words were wise — let go of fear and embrace the now. Life mu...

Our Poor Degrees

Education is necessary for every individual. It is essential for heads of state, if a person is educated. He/she is more likely to be civilized and in a better position to lead his/her nation to success than a person without education. While some presidents don't have a bachelor degree or even a high school certificate, but they are seen as fit to rule the whole country. While a good education and strong qualifications are valued in many organisations, the ANC government has downplayed the importance of qualifications. The ANC’s Chief Whip in Parliament Stone Sizani said that with or without academic qualifications, Pallo Jordan remains a source of pride for the party although Jordan did not have the academic qualifications he claimed was a “publicity gimmick”. Commenting on Hlaudi Motsoeneng allegedly lying about having a matric to get a job at the SABC, However, The Law Firm cleared Motsoeneng of any wrongdoing. Despite the fact that the public protector Thuli Madonsela has ...

"This is not for us"

Image
You don't just go to bed faithful and then wake up with adulterous morning plans, deciding that "this is not for us" . Most of us think that cheating is the ultimate act of relationship betrayal. But, let’s get real — people don’t just suddenly decide to trash their marriage vows like that out of nowhere. It starts with the mini betrayals that our divorced parents forgot to look out for, things like: Staying in the relationship for the wrong reasons; your children, statuses, etc. but not for love. Having secret relationships; sharing your deepest thoughts with your ex's who are still friends, co-workers, etc. Hiding money from your partner, You complain about your partner to other people, undermine your partner in public Emotionally dishonest; never share your deepest feelings and just say I love you" because it feels right. With how people divorce nowadays, makes us scared to even think about marriage. How love was back in the days an...

Do you know yourself?

Image
It is easy to say that you know yourself in terms of what your name is, where are you originally from, what you do for a living, etc. But the question is do you really know yourself??? Is there a point where you say "I really know myself" ??? Is there even a thing as knowing yourself??? I am not talking about taking a personality test or learning about your family history. Neither am I talking about your favourite colours, your best childhood friend or your high school prom experience. I am talking about something much greater and of higher consequence. We are talking about who you are at your core, what matters the most to you, what makes you come alive, what feeds your soul and what drains your spirit, and how to know the difference so you choose well as you move forward in life. https://www.3smartcubes.com/pages/tests/selfawareness/selfawareness_questions.asp

Being selfish is not always a bad thing

It is true that sometimes the selfish always win, always succeed. The good do their best and work as hard as they can but they never reach to the level of success of the selfish people. Being selfless at times is a good thing but putting others first at all times, does not do any good to you either. You need to put yourself first MOST of the time to achieve your dreams and goals in life. The reason why selfish people win is because they know what they want and don't allow anyone to stand in their way, which drives them to success but what will be nice is that they don't do so, at the expense of others. https://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/10-great-ways-deal-with-selfish-people.html

Let's just call them models

Let's stop separating models into groups like 'plus-size' and just call them models. Some companies are so good at patting themselves on the back for throwing a bone to plus-size models which is unfair, as most companies see thick girls as being desperate to fit into the modelling industry. An average women is a size 34-36, which means that most of the so-called plus-size models are just representing the average woman — nothing unusual about it. We don't call models who are smaller than average "small-size models," so there's no reason as to why should we continue to refer to them as plus-size models? Whether in the industry you are referred to as plus-size model or small-size model. You should refer to yourself as just a model, FULL STOP. https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/news/a18375/plus-sized-models/
