Not everybody will think that what you have to say is of value.
Yours truly was reminded of this fact when the DDCT Tour went back to high schools this week. And our advice to all budding public speakers, especially when addressing learners, is this:
"Those who conduct private conversations during the talk, those who seem
bored, those who say '1' when the instruction is 'Say 2', those who cannot
wait for you to finish, so on and so forth, JUST IGNORE THEM.
Your real job is to focus on those students who care enough to listen. You
will have done you job even if this group is made up of just one student."
SOME THANK YOU'sbored, those who say '1' when the instruction is 'Say 2', those who cannot
wait for you to finish, so on and so forth, JUST IGNORE THEM.

will have done you job even if this group is made up of just one student."
- Ntate Sepuru( the Principal) - For okaying the talks.
- Ma'am Rakibane ( the HOD) - For running with the logistics.
- Ma'am Moloi - For being my chaperone and introducing me to the students.
- Class 12D matric students - For your time.

Our FEEL GOOD quote of the week:
"Having problems is part of life. Who can honestly say that
they don't have any?...The reality is that to be successful means
just solving more and more problems."
Jack Black( from the book MINDSTORE)
