Good afternoon dear readers... I'm sure we've been all good and wondering what had happened to this blog's admin, well things have been tense if I really have to tell you. My life have been busy I haven't even had the time to update you all about it, well that's the life of a Guide if you ask me and I'm sure some of you would relate to what you've all been through.
Anyway moving right along, the past couple of months have been quiet interesting in exprience. My life have changed alot, not that I'm surprised. I'm now involved in the training side of Sondela Academy and now I'm getting the feeling of what my mentors got when I was a still a student. Being involved in training taught me alot of things I even wasn't aware of... one of the things I'll mention in my following paragraph.
I remember thinking that I've grown, thinking that I know everything that is to be known in terms of Tourist Guiding and Nature but I was wrong. As a training manager I've then realised that not only you teach the student about their curricullum but you also helping them grow mentally, and for that I've finally seen the importance of a trainer in the trainee's life. As a student you sit there and think that your facilitator is actually wasting alot of time talking some sense into your head but no, you actually need that sense to go into your head.
Overall I just want to emphasise one thing, I LOVE MY JOB AND I'D LIKE TO THANK SONDELA FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE PART OF THEIR TEAM PLAYER.
Hope you all been great and God bless you, your family and the industries you in and just to let you know, you are where you are because someone noticed just how good you are.
Till we speak again on my next post, keep well.
Stone-Edge.

Season "Spring" Greeting...
First of all I would like to welcome the new season "Spring", I know of yall might be thinking to yourselve's "but Edge don't you think you a bit late to say that?" well some of you might know the answer to that but to those who don't I like like to say "not on my watch" #laughin out loud#. "EDGE IS NEVER LATE AND EVEN CHUCK NORRIS KNOWS THAT!"
Anyway that is not the reason why I'm back, the real reson why I'm back is.... #Thinking#.... Anyway that is not important as well. The important thing that I need to talk to you about is the things and madness that goes around during "SPRING", a friend of mine told me that is not "SPRING" but its "thee SPRING", I know you still trying to figure out what I'm on about but to be quite honest with you, I also don't know what I'm on about.... #laughing even more louder#
RIGHT! moving along.... I'm gonna try to sound serious now, I don't know if you realized this but Edge is trying to take a different angle regarding this blog so that it can be fascinating. Its a new season and we expect to see and read new things, a lot has happened the couple of months (bad or good) but keep this in mind, you are human and you the only 1 who can change whatever situation you are in, I mean you have to hands, 2 eyes, feet and ears... "Be the change you want to be" (Mahatna Gahndi)....
I want to lastly take this opportunity to thank everyone who take their to read and comment on my blog even in their toughest and busiest schedules.
"your are FANTASTIC"
Enjoy the rest of THEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SPRING?

Something New
I want to take this moment to talk to my readers about something of a different angle.... I have in and out of various blogs and I was attached to this other one, I sat down and read for couple of hours but really it was intizing.
I mean I never thought I'd spend so much time reading about stuff that doe not even involve my country but yeah I did... I know there is alot of thing happenning in our country but you better be sure that we are in the most safest country and most accommodating.
We all know we might have political issues, poverty and other stuff in our country but we trying. In all the african countries South Africa is by far the best in taking care of the economy and the people.
I would further more like to state than even if we cannot compare ourselves with the American state I want you all to have it in yourselves that we are doing well. We have a reach history behind us that we do not even want to go back to but I mean if we look carefully our history makes us who we are today.... Do you think if it wasn't for our history we would be the country that we are at the moment? Do you think having to reflect on what we went through in past would result to repeatition of what was happening in the past? My answer is No!
We look back on the past to do better not to spite people or for repeatition. History makes us rich, it makes us proud if we take a look at the kind of people we are at the present moment.
WORD OF ADVICE: Look back at the past and say "yes but I made a change"
Thank you, until we meet again.
Regards

A New Day
Hi again friends, hope you all had a beautiful sleep because you all deserve that... Now lets get down to to the reasn I'm here today. Now have you ever woke up in the morning and thought "wow! now is'nt the world great?", well it doesn't matter if you haven't because it has happened to me *laughing out loud*. You know I had to bring that one up, I mean you just woke and I'm definately sure you needed some amusement...
I took a walk this morning and saw alot of beautiful things about nature that people hardly ever notice, I saw trees, birds, grasses, rock and soil then I was like Wow! are we not lucky as humans to have things like this to be part of the earth's decoration? We are very lucky, so why do we want to kill all this?
Moreover, as humans we need to be respected right? I mean you are more than welcome to write back if you disagree with this statement. Give respect to get one back, we learnt at Math class that what you do on the left hand side should also be applied on the right hand side, well that what I learnt because I went to school not that I'm trying to be rude or anything.
Anyway as I was saying, lets respect nature, lets try to preserve our nature for our children to find it in their times, for our great-grand children to also have this priveledge....why are doing this to ourselves? why are we throwing cigarretes buds everywhere, why don't you keep that chocolate wrap in your pocket so that you can put it in a suitable place? How would you feel if I come your house and dump all the trash in your yard?
Moving-on, as I was taking a walk I took time to pick up piece of papers that I came across and empty bottles, well atleast I'm doing something what about you?
What I'm trying to emphasise is that if we can do this together we can still save this world, what do you think? I've done it so what stopping you?
Moral of the story is that "UNITED WE STAND BUT DEVIDED WE WILL FALL"
Hope you can take my advises and help fight people polluting the earth for our nature to be beautiful.
Lets speak later, you know where to find me.

The life and the pasts of a tour guide.
The life!
At the of 6 I was in the 1st Grade and I was wondering why my parents would take me to that boring place(school) because I was happy at pre-school doing drawings with my teacher screaming at us all the time, it doesn't end there.Primary school was fine until I finished my 6th Grade then went to middle school, I want to tell you this I haven't repeated a class but still didn't see the reason why I had to go to school.
I have to honest with you my dear readers, I didn't know what I wanted to do after school until I finished my matric.
I passed my matric, went to various institutions(colleges) after that but I didn't want to go it's just that I had to go because my parents wanted me to go. I graduated but unfortunately there was no job for me still afterwards, guess what came as an opportunity for an after graduate? I worked in a clothing store, I didn't like it there but I had to do something with my life. I worked there as a merchandiser, something I didn't even picture myself doing but still I worked.
The real deal
From childhood I've always had the love for animals, plans and nature as a whole. I've always found it insulting to see someone throwing trash anywhere. I worked at the clothing store for 2 full years until I heard of this place where they are training Nature Guides but I couldn't go there cause of financial reasons and then heard of a place called Sondela Academy. I went there and did some inquiries and fortunate enough for me I was told there were learnerships taking place the very same year i went to inquire then I applied then eventually I was happy because for the very 1st time I was doing something that I really wanted.
Today
Today I am very proud to say that I am a qualified tour guide under the excellent training of Sondela Academy. The message I'm trying to convey to you is if you do not stand up and go out there no-one will.
The purpose of this site is to help with advices on life in general, ask any question by posting comments or by sending emails to tshegorocks@gmail.com and I will be hear to assist in every possible way I can.
