But is retirement a cultural concept? Are 'the born-free' changing the meaning of retirement?   When I was young, I were told that retirement was fun, with all the packages that had to come with it, the Gold watch received after working our tails off to get there, or the retirement package which most of the businesses or industries today no longer go along with it (pension funds)   I don't remember my father receiving a Gold watch after his retirement, or did he even go for retirement? I don't remember my old folk going for retirement or even heard him speak of it, I guess that's because he worked in a different sector where they don't offer any package at all.  Yeah, right my father worked as a panel beater, not far from where we lived, and h

Because Someone was told me that I should not add more sh**t in the world, I devoted my time to write and publish my work every day. More women are leaving the corporate to start their businesses, and demanding their share in the high tables. These women spoke with their feet.  The words that are spoken and making headlines;  Mommies no longer want to be 'Prisoners of men's Dreams' New rules and the establishment of their realms are revealed by their actions, for the new era is for talent competition.  'The mommy truck' is not the point, the question is whether there is a job for Daddy in the future, I suggest that women are going to be in the drives set of virtually every corporation, only 3 percent of us are going to work in factories by 2001, Mommy in the drives-set and Daddy at home washing the dishes, is the fate we male face in the years a

We will begin to see winners emerging from the ashes only and only when teachers once again begin teaching and students begin learning the lesson.  We hear parents who still blame and shame the school systems, some teachers are so frustrated having gone to college for almost 6 - 7 years to earn a degree in teaching. yet having no one interested in learning.
