We are what we do

“The present shape the future”, indeed it does! What you do today will determine your tomorrow. People make perceptions about other people based on what they see and what they see is was the other person is doing. This goes back to the old cliché “what you put in is what you get out”, and that “a good turn deserves another”. To have a good future you need to start investing on your present and make sure that you put in only the good and nothing less. This is not only a human phenomenon but also organisations have to deal with this issue on daily bases. This is a reason why companies spend fortunes on good PR and Publicity, because they want to invest the best in order to get the best, the problem that most of us face is that we normally don’t care to give the best in the beginning and yet expect to get the best at the end, it is highly impossible to get your desired if the ingredient.

We are born into the culture but we are not born with a culture. Now you asking yourself how this relates to the colour of the wind, the wind’s colour depends on its originality. If the wind is blowing from the warm Indian Ocean it will definitely be a warm Mozambique Current wind, but if the wind is blowing from the cold Atlantic Ocean then it will be a cold Benguela Current. Also, the colour of the wind depends on its originality. If the wind is blowing from the desert with lots of sand particles in it, it is likely that it will be brown in colour, but if it blowing from the black Coal mines of Mpumalanga it is like that it will be black. So next time you think of the colour of the wind you need to consider where is the wind coming from. Whatever the colour the wind chooses to take, it will always remain wind...
