All tagged self esteem

I refuse to encourage any of my children to go to varsity. I’m pretty sure I want to home school so at least I have that argument sorted. Most people think I’m crazy.

I’m black, female and the second generation to get a college education and a master’s degree, so I’m supposed to say how awesome it is that I now have equal rights and I want my children to take advantage of all this amazing education so they can live in different continents like I do.

I've studied in South Africa and the USA and as far as I can see varsity is a royal waste of time and money.

Norman Mailer once said, "Ultimately a hero is a man who would argue with the gods, and so awakens devils to contest his vision. The more a man can achieve, the more he may be certain that the devil will inhabit a part of his creation."

Each of us is on a journey and each of us knows what’s best for ourselves, better than any other person alive ever will.

No matter how much advice you get – only you know what you need at this point in your life.

We all know this but we very rarely believe it.

Our society's engineered to make us doubt ourselves.
