Lessons @ 27

This year was an eye opening experience in which I discovered the things that really matter. I never understood when my Mum said with age comes wisdom, proving that parents do know something kkkkkkk. I have learnt some key things this year


Only quality people are critical value them


Not all people are created equal. There are people who will help you get to your destiny, some will derail you and some will watch you. The pareto rule applies only people too, sad but true spend the most time on 20% who will cheer on, give you a kick etc to help you get to your destiny.These are the people who really matter and concentrate most of your efforts there. The 50% are those you may give the benefit of the doubt. The final group are "friends" who will be waiting for you to fall into a pit and fail or those who do not value as you do them. Keep your investment to the minimal with these two groups. Time is to precious to waste on people who dont add value. Get rid of the gossiping buddy and read a book, exercise, do something to develop yourself. they are dead weight threatening to bring you down.


Develop yourself as a person

The 21st century is characterised as the information age where everything changes in a second with the advent of new technology. It is critical to be up to speed with the whats what or one wil become like the manufacturer still trying to come up with the best mouse trap after the advent of pesticide. Be aware of whats happening around you in all facets of life. Read a paper , a book, a website etc.Ignorance is a cancer that can destroy you.


Take care of your body

Sugar and spice and all things nice are associated with girls. I had a serious love affair with chocolate, fizzy drinks and all things glucose. This relationship has cost me greatly and now its time to lose those kgs and start a healthy lifestyle. The warning signs were having to crawl / walk huffing and puffing up stairs, get a new wardrobe. Its a typical GIGO case,ou what y I realised I have one body and for it to last the mileage i need to feed it well, exercise etc. Reading that ageing starts @27 was a wake up call for me.


Learn how to manage your finances well

I love shoes like any woman on earth but this statement by Warren buffet forced me to put a freeze on the shoes

• Never depend on a single income. Make an investment to develop a second stream
• On spending , if you buy things you do not need , you have to sell the things you need
• On saving, do not save what you have after you spend , save before you spend
• On taking risks, never test the depth of a river with both legs
• On investment , do not put your eggs in one basket.

I am definately making better decisions with my money and saving up for that first house which i intend to buy by the time i turn 30. Not to


Life is an individual journey , not a group effort, do what makes you happy.


Milestones in life differ for everyone . As a lady the other side of 25 there have been may interrogation sessions where I am quizzed on when the big day is. How  I am not getting any younger etc, My take is Fall in love and get married when you are ready not when everyone thinks you should,.Marriage can be a one way ticket to bliss or hell so choose wisely. Milestones happen at different times for different people, so do what makes you happy. If its travelling to Paris, buying a motorcycle, bungee jumping do it . Live a life with no regrets, do what you wish as long  its legal and moral that is. People will always talk anyway whatever you do



Looking foward to 28 am sure will learn many more life lessons. Until the hasta lavista stay fabulous.
