To ALL the boys & young men
Grow up!!! Pull your pants up over your ass!!! Take responsibility for your actions & be a man... Everything you do has consequences so think before you do anything.
Stay away from ALL drugs masekind, rather go swim with sharks with ox liver around your neck cos you will only find grief & heartache. You can ask anyone who knew me before, while & after I was an addict. I went from wearing suits & driving a shabier, braais any day of the week to wearing broken busted up clothes & cleaning yards for 2 R5 loaves of bread & a small Rama so my wife & kids could eat. Today I have my own house shop & I don't have to wear busted up clothes & we eat nxa & help others who have less.
You are not worthless, there are men out here that you may think are better than you - they aren't, they have to wipe their asses with toilet paper too.
Learn at least one trade like welding, masonry, panel beating, motor mechanics, etc... You will always make money in your own community if you don't rip people off.
Being a man means you should be able to fix everything around the house or yard - stay off the couch & wake up early - after 9am over the weekend or 7am during the week is late. There are single mothers, busy men & old people who will one day need someone to fix a wall/window/kettle/microwave/washing machine & they will pay you for it...
Cleaning yards for money is an honourable job & can become your own landscaping business one day. Try to document (take pics) of the worst ones with the outcomes so you can use it to market your business.
I am grateful for my dad, I can do everything for myself from fitting my own sink taps to fixing my car to building my own wall or shop structure. Things fall down & they fall apart, that's just how it is; but you have the power to build & rebuild yourself.
