The last lecture

nicro.org.za, ajaxct.com.

It was one of the best classes I ever had in Public Relations 2012, in corporate communication. I mean out of five B-tech subjects I am doing right now, four of them were about corporate communication. I felt like why the programme should not start about corporate communications from the beginning. It was one of the topic that I would even relate to the currently projects that most organisation are doing including my organisation. Basically, I have even understood more about the course content, what Public Relation course entails. This lecture has broadened my understanding and makes easily to do application. Just to share some of the experience that I have gain during this lecture, I am working for Department of Correctional Services; there are many community projects that the department is participation to make a change to poor societies. One may ask a question what is the department is gaining in return, since the department is rehabilitating offenders, it empowers them with skills and development, these offenders are there ones who are doing this projects to community where they have committed serious crimes, this enhances them during their released to be able to be accepted back to their communities irrespective of their past behaviours and as rehabilitated people.

If presented with the opportunity to get a message to a large group of people, what would your message be? Is it possible to lie without saying a word?

This would be one of the marvellous things that I might regards as an honour to me, I mean addressing a large group of people would be grace to me. This will serves to substantiate to my career as well, as Public Relations professional. Addressing large audience is everyone’s dreams. This is not an easy task indeed, but as professional that will be very important to know what areas will interest your audience. As a communicator, it will be also very interesting to be persuasive; sharing information that you know it will attract them to pay more attention. The most interesting speeches, is to criticise government poor service delivery, lack of job opportunities, corrupt government official and so on. Even the priests, before they deliver the message they first condemn government. Looking at politicians during the ceremonies, there is little that they address about the main objectives of the ceremony, mostly they attack each other on currently social issues. One might say that, that is how politicians mostly communicate, they use such an event for thier political interests.

I am an African

This topic reminds former ANC leader and former state of the nation President Thabo Mbeki. I will always think of him as a preferred candidate, who have left unforgetten legacy which includes NEPAD, African renaincence, African leadership school and etc. I rememder him when he said that, Africa needs to open a leadership school whereby identified future leaders would be referred to the academy to be developed and attain leadership skills. The aim of the leadership school was to create platforms for dialogue to promote the birth of a continental movement driven by a new cadre of thought leaders committed to Africa’s political, social and economic regeneration. This will serve and strive to provide a credible platform to help ensure that the African voice on African issues is heard and respected both on African as a continent and elsewhere in the world. Former President Mbeki had the strong vision for the continent as a whole, it was not only about South Africa. I am an African, I salute !!!!!!!.

The statute of limitation has expired on most of our childhood trauma.

During growth stage as a child, there are restricted things towards you. The parents are still giving you instruction of which you are expected to obey them. For instance, coming home at night is totally not acceptable. The parents at this stage can tell you as child what must you do, when, why, with who, where and how. As child you are under control of them. This is there time when parents have visions, plans about your future; therefore they are building you towards as a future manhood. All those goals they could not fulfilled or meet, due to the difficulties they went through, could be positioned towards their future manhood to enjoy these benefits. Failure to follow the parent’s instruction at this age is disastrous to child life. This is the beginning of human life journey, missing this point would take such child no where in life. It is the stage whereby parents will develop you as their future child product. Parents will feel prestigious and proud of you.

Of all forms of courage is the ability to laugh

Whenever there is something wrong or sad mood in a particular place, the environment will only change after inspiration words has been uttered. Usually this happens during the accident or death of a person. This kind of environment brings frustration to thefamily, friends or colleagues, but after few days when family and relatives gather together to accept the current situation. This will normally calm the situation as these people talk about; this usually led to laughing of them as these people will share some funny things might this person was doing. Mostly this happened during memorial services coordinated by a priest who tries to calm the family by inspiring words from the bible. These words open spaces from the heart and give hope to relatives, friends as well as colleagues who are unfortunately lost their individual. This makes these people to simple understand death is uncontrollable, when an individual’s name has been called is done and that would not change and when time is ripe everyone will be called.

Only bad things happen quickly.

I do not really agree with this topic. Good things are also happening very quickly, but the problem is that good things are not making news. Most news reporting that makes interest to the people is bad things. People are looking for negative things out of you. They want to know what wrong things you busy doing, that’s what makes interesting. Take for instance the news headlines, most news headline are there to attract the news readers, to buy newspapers. There will be no interesting news if the reporting is about good things; people are not interested on that. News basically is targeting negativity most and search more information in details for the purposes of making new worth and informs the public. Check people when they gossip, they are not talking about good things; gossip is mostly about bad things that are spreading very quickly. Bad things are very quickly to be spread, because they are easily spread to hollow an individual’s reputation.

Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid

someoneoncetoldme.com I have learned that as person is very important to be yourself, rather be bold. Do not rely to other people, do not trust anyone, rather be yourself. Especial when someone is taking personal decision, whereby if the outcomes for your decision could be not on your side, therefore you don’t blame anyone instead yourself. I should think also, this would make you strong, or give more inspirations. In most cases things like these happens between the love couples, once a relationship is not in good terms, people failed to take personal decisions. Later tend to point fingers to others. I think this is a bad habit. Do not seek any advices related to your personal decisions, because the merits might not be same although it is same problem. It might work or either way might not work. It is just like win or loss. Whatever the outcomes of the decision should be accepted. When the decision is not in favour of you, people start to blame others, but when things suit them, they tend to be bold, stay bold as you are, do not summersault.
