Times of Atttitude

We are living in times where our attitude determines our altitude.
Increasingly I see people with an attitude of what's in it for me, you want tme to do anything, what do I get in return.
I am not refering to a business where people are paid for what they do. I am refering to people in communities that are not prepared to be part of the solution to sort out problems in their community.
When I look around I see that the altitude of communities, citizens attitude around me is very low, in fact nearly ground level, sadly when they hit the ground they will only relaise what they had.

As people we need to respect each other, that will enable us to love each other and create a hope for the future.
Stop looking inwards and look outwards, what can I do for you, than what is in it for me?

People are governed by the government they allow to govern them. Stand up, be citizens, act like a united nation and think of your children and their children, stop been selfish, you can be the start of the change, look around we are all created in His image.

Rights I believe only come into play once we respect each other. You can make the difference, one pebble at a time it takes to build a wall.

Year End - Admin Overload

Last time I was here I could not believe that it was over a month, now it is the third month since I blogged.

I have looked shocked when my best friend told me that it was in December last just before another new year and promises or life style adjustments are made that I blogged.

I have been doing admin, yes the SARS admin striked and I realised that I need to get my admin on all fronts up to date.

Yeah I did it, just finished last month to discover that the helping hand accountant, tax adviser eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw I had being doing the tax form wrong, he was speechless and then said that I should re-submit as far back as possible and make sure I had all my T's crossed and I's dotted.

His reaction had me feel that if you made a mistake, especially towards the government you would be tried, and hopefully just before you are locked up or fined, it would be realised that you made an honest mistake and your interpretation of the tax form was wrong and that yes, we have laws and rules, but also people behind them with common sense and not just people who say, rules are rules, you must suffer the consequences.

I take heart in my beliefs that all things happen for a reason and it is your chance to go against the tide of negativity and be positive, honest and correct mistakes made once you know you have made them.

It is important to have a schedule, for admin, marketing, time out and work, the saying about working all the time makes you boring is true.
