Ka SePedi

I have a friend you likes saying:

ka SePedi bare …

then he inserts an English metaphor. I like that.

That is exactly what I want to do, ka SePedi bare:

… life happens whilst you are making plans.

That is the truth, that is what I find solace in.  I rarely achieve any of my long term goals/plans — even mid-term goals are hard to achieve, but give me a short-term plan, I swear ka Mme waka, I will achieve it (assuming it is possible).

Surely, the text books don't agree with this, we are constantly told to have a plan, a dream, a goal, I agree with them, but I do not agree on the idea that is has to be attained. We may wish to have it realised, but, it ain't going to be easy:

… why set yourself up for failure?

So, I have a long term goal:

… travel the world.

I like that goal. It says nothing about emotions nor when it has to be done, but it can only be achieved by constantly doing it in small parts:

… go here, go there, come back, move there, come back …

I have stopped teaching. I no longer find myself wanting to "teach" anybody — and I think that will reflect on this here book:

I will write thoughts without need, want or agenda.
