When 2010 comes to and end.

It’s really amazing how fast this year is going bye. It felt like it was just the other day that I registered to do my B-Tech at the beginning of this year. At this moment I really wish I knew where I am going to end up next year. I can’t help but wonder whether I’ll be studying further, working for a corporate organisation in South Africa, working overseas or starting my own business. All I know is that I will be a success and I’ll definitely have the answer to my question when 2010 comes to an end.


I’m sure that many of my fellow class mates are in the same space that I am right now. Wondering exactly where they’re going to end up next year. Yesterday, I started thinking about the past year and how we all have become used to seeing each other in class and I even started to think about the past three years that we’ve studied together. How we’ve grown in so many ways, the many life lessons we’ve learnt and the knowledge we’ve gained. It’s just so mind boggling how the time has just flown bye. I keep on wanting to pinch myself just so that I know that I am not dreaming and that I am awake.

At least I know that I have accomplished one of my goals in life, I would have studied for four years at the end of this year and I actually finished my course without dropping out or just giving up. So right now I’m pleased with myself because I know that when I strive to do something I do it to the best of my ability. I know that when 2010 comes to an end new opportunities, challengers and ventures will begin!

 

What motivates me?

The fact that I know that I have God in my life and just knowing that through Him I can do anything because it’s Him who gives me strength to accomplish my dreams is the main thing that keeps me motivated. Knowing what my goals are in life is also one of the many things that motivates me. By me knowing exactly where I’d like to end up one day and what I’d like to accomplish in life automatically causes me to steer towards my dreams, goals and my vision in life. If a person does not have a vision in life he/she will simply have no clue where they are going and would not be motivated.

I firmly believe that family is very important in one’s life. My family has been there for me through thick and thin. No matter what they’ll always be there for me. It’s my family that help motivate me when they say things like, “don’t worry” or “you did really well, keep up the good work”. Then of course there are those really trustworthy, reliable friends who also motivate me. Helping by steering me towards my goal and encouraging me when I feel really far from where I’d like to be, or simply when I just feel a bit negative about a situation.

Another important thing that motivates me is the fact that I know who I am and what I stand for, knowing my morals and values, not compromising these values and morals which I have. This makes me proud to be who I am and keeps me motivated because I know that I respect myself and others and therefore I will go far in life because I do not allow myself to be influenced by others and I stick to working towards my goals and dreams.
