I spoke about emotions and I even said that… now we owe it to our children to break down the protective barriers so that they are able to deal with their feelings and emotions, all the while keeping their self-esteem intact…So here are some tips to listening to your child's emotions…

1. Listen with your full attention - stop and engage with your child.

2. Imagine what your child is feeling - put yourself in their shoes.

3. Describe what you think they are feeling - focus on the fact and feeling - "I imagine you felt let down."

4. Describe their resistance in words - "You wish you didn't have to see her again."

5. Remain calm and patient.

You do not have to solve the problem, they can do it themselves. Remember that all feelings can be accepted, their reactions to them need to be limited. We want to train our children in the art of emotional management.

Tip of the Day:

I spoke about baggage and baggage issues that some we tend to have…

Fear - Fear is what keeps people from fulfilling their potential... whether it's fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of losing someone or something.

Wrong values - Hang-ups can also develop as a result of the values people hold dear. For instance, if a person values success (whichever way they define it), they may feel deep down that they don't live up to that measure of success, and feel insecure.

Comparisons - Comparisons are big culprits. "We're often competing with others – whether it's your siblings, peers at college or work – and you may end up chasing their dreams, not yours.
Black-or-white thinking - Saying, "if it's not like this – it's bad," or "if I'm not like her, I'm inferior," excludes us from beautiful opportunities. Many of us fall into this trap. One thing doesn't always follow another in a linear way – life is too complex.

Wallowing - Of course we become bitter and resentful when we've been hurt, maybe finding it difficult to trust again. When we allow ourselves to stay with those low feelings for longer than necessary, we become comfortable in their presence and adopt them as part of who we are, how we relate to the next person or how we feel about a particular situation."

Quote of the Day:

Erich Fromm - There can be no real freedom without the freedom to fail

Tip of the Day:

I spoke about having trouble saying no, I know it can be difficult and you don’t want to lie so it’s just so much easier to say yes… Well so here are those tips on saying no and meaning it too…

1. Listen to the request respectfully. Do not interrupt the speaker.

2. Phrase your "no" as simply as possible. Don't raise your voice or become upset, simply say that you cannot help this time. When you say no, say it in a confident, well modulated voice to sound more straightfoward.

3. Don't feel obligated to explain. You have your reasons and they may not be ones you wish to discuss. If this is the case, try saying something like, "I'm just not able to." Leave it at that - if you must, change the subject, or say, "I'm so sorry, but I need to go."

4. Explain simply, and only if you wish to do so. If the case really is one that you feel okay explaining, make your explanation as simple as possible.

5. Stand firm. If the requestor does not want to accept your answer, tell him or her that your mind is made up and that you will not change it.

6. Be respectful. Even if the person asking isn't.

7. If your refusal upsets someone, remain calm and, if possible. Remove yourself from the situation.

8. Do not lie. When you explain why your answer is no.

Quote of the Day:

Tip of the Day:

I spoke about Letting Go of Your Perfectionism…now overcoming perfectionism requires courage, for it means accepting our imperfections and humanness. So here are some tips …

1. Make a list of the advantages and disadvantages of trying to be perfect - When you make your own list of costs and benefits, you may find that the costs are too great. You may discover that problems with relationships, eating and substance abuse problems, and other compulsive behaviors you actually outweigh whatever advantages perfectionism holds for you.

2. Be realistic about what you can do - By setting more realistic goals, you will gradually realize that "imperfect" results do not lead to the punitive consequences you expect and fear.

3. Remember to be yourself - Remind yourself that there is a difference between good enough and perfect.

4. Learn how to deal with criticism - Perfectionists often view criticism as a personal attack, responding to it defensively. Concentrate on being more objective about the criticism, and about yourself. If someone criticizes you for making a mistake, acknowledge the mistake and assert your right to make mistakes.

5. Accept - That everyone, including you, makes mistakes. Most people learn through trial and error.

Quote of the Day:

Dale Carnegie - If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy

Tip of the Day:

I spoke about ways to express yourself because did you know that expressing yourself can help you keep in touch with how you are feeling. It can also release a lot of tension that you may be carrying around with you. So this is the right place to be for those ways to express yourself…
1. Write About How you Feel - Writing may be a useful way to explore your feelings. Some people keep diaries, others just write down whatever comes into their head. You may want to write a story about whatever is happening in your life now (try 'Scream it Dream it'), or even make up a story based on some past event in your life. Writing poetry works for some people so you might like to try that. You can use the "Journal" in the members section of Reach Out! to record your thoughts and feelings in a way that is confidential.

2. Play Sport - Playing sport lets you express yourself in a physical way. There are plenty of opportunities to yell or curse or feel elated when things go well. Team sports allow you to express yourself and combine your energy with others both in verbal and non-verbal ways.

3. Draw or Paint - Even if you don't think of yourself as artistic, drawing and painting are useful ways of expressing yourself. No one else has to see what you do. You may just want to experiment with drawing lines, sketching, colours and so on.

4. Sing, Play Music, or Shout - Singing along to your favourite songs or playing a musical instrument is another way to express yourself. Sing in the shower or out in a park. If you play an instrument or sing regularly you may find that you even start writing your own songs or music to express how you feel.

5. Dance - Dance is a form of self-expression. Put on some music at home or go out and dance as much as you like.
Quote of the Day:

La Bruyere - Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think

It’s time for me to love and leave you. You must have oh so super Friday and a wonderful weekend. Let’s chat again tomorrow…Much Love…Peace.

Tip of the Day:

I spoke about how to just simply enjoy life…because life should be enjoyed don’t you think. Hopefully the following tips will help you enjoy your life more…

Enjoy Life Tip No. 1 - Always take time to smell the roses.

Enjoy Life Tip No. 2 - Get up 30 minutes early and go for a brisk walk. Come home and have something to eat. Doesn't matter what happens after that - you've had a great start to the day!

Enjoy Life Tip No. 3 - Every now and then it is OK to be totally selfish! Plan a day that is totally indulgent! Do what YOU want to do. Do it all day. Don't feel guilty about it. It is your day. Plan it so that you do as many of your favorite things all in the same day. It's OK - you've earned it!

Enjoy Life Tip No. 4 - Exercise every day. A walk is fine (and at your own pace). You will be literally amazed at how clearer your thinking is and how less stressed you become. Try it for one week and let me know how you went!

Enjoy Life Tip No. 5 - This follows quite nicely. At the end of each day congratulate yourself on what you have achieved - do not whip yourself for what you didn't get done. You will have another chance tomorrow. Focus on your positive achievements.

Enjoy Life Tip No. 6 - Don't take life too seriously. That issue that you think is so important - isn't. Next week it will matter less, next year even less. Ten years from now - will you even remember? One hundred years from now - will it matter? Ten million years from now?

Tip of the Day:

I spoke about having good neighbours so whether you live in a high-rise apartment building or a townhouse complex, so having neighbours are a part of life no matter where you stay. Here are four tips to being a better next-door neighbour…

1. Keep the noise down, especially at night - Day to day noises, such as running water, the clatter of feet, or conversations, are to be expected. And some noise, like hammering, clearly is unavoidable. But blasting music of any genre at the highest volume interrupts the peace of your next-door neighbors. Making loud disturbances in the middle of the night is inconsiderate. So, before making a noise, think of your neighbors and judge whether it’s the appropriate time.

2. Watch your neighbor's back - If you see suspicious activity around your neighbor’s door, alert the appropriate authorities. Keep your eyes and ears open. Think of it as the golden rule: you’d want your neighbors watching out for your place.

3. Keep the common areas clean - This is another code of conduct from the golden rule camp. Litter is unsightly. Just as you wouldn’t want to pick up after others or see trash everywhere, don’t leave newspapers, junk mail, or litter for others to endure. It’s courteous to your neighbors and to your super to clean up after yourself.

4. Be friendly with your neighbours - As soon as you move in, begin developing relations with your neighbors. Greet them when you see them in the lobby. If you have time, ask how their day was. If you haven’t started this, it’s never too late. You don’t have to knock on their door, but if you see them, give them a friendly greeting. Not only will you feel a stronger tie to this mini-community, but you may have a friend who can help you out in a jam—such as pet-sitting or lending you their vacuum.

5. Come Together - Plan to party. The Flamingo Park neighborhood in West Palm Beach, Florida, takes advantage of year-round sunshine by having quarterly block parties -- complete with band, tent in the street and a row of grills for barbecuing. For more frequent socializing, residents take turns hosting monthly happy-hour gatherings.

Quote of the Day:


Henry David Thoreau – Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined

I also hope that you relaxed and chilled out too, so that you can start this week a fresh with a positive perspective…turning over a new leave…for me this week I decided to… just take it so easy and I’m sure you’re taking it easy on this Tuesday…

Tip of the Day:

I spoke about 4 very important and need to know household so here are those tips…So here are some tips …

1. Getting candle wax out of carpets - Its easy... Just use a cloth or brown paper bag... And iron over the stain... The candle wax will then transfer to the cloth or bag... Just make sure to keep the iron in motion so as not to catch the bag on fire...

2. Cleaning Your Telephone - When you notice make-up and gunk on your phone and receiver, use an alcohol-soaked towelette to get it clean. Wipe weekly to prevent dirt and grime build-up on your phone.

3. Keep Drains Fresh Smelling - Give this a try: Pour 1/2 cup baking soda down the drain and follow with 1 cup vinegar. It will fizz up. Wait for about a minute and then let hot water run down the drain. If drain is seriously clogged, you may need to call a plumber.

4. Cleaning up broken glass - If a glass item breaks and tiny pieces are lying all over the floor, its safest to pick them up with a handful of wet cottonwool, even the tiniest shards which you cannot see will stick on the cotton wool. I find this more efficient than using a broom and pan.

A: Hector Peterson

Tip of the Day:


I spoke about becoming who you want to be…because of course you know that you can…In the meantime I hope you thought about it if so…Then this is the right place because I have tips those tips…

1. Exercise patience in everything you do and understand that change will take time, devotion, and hard work. Accomplishing one simple goal right now will make it easier to accomplish larger more difficult ones later on.

2. Judging others is easy while judging oneself can be extremely difficult. Look at yourself honestly and ask: What would I like to change about myself? What are my strengths and weaknesses? What do I have to give?

3. There is no growth in resentment. Emotions are often directly related to your perception of the world around you. Viewing things in a positive light can make your world into a better place, and foster confidence and self-respect.

4. As you meet the needs of your body, nourish your soul as well. Each of us requires relaxation, love, and acceptance. Spend at least five unrushed minutes each day in meditation or another relaxing activity.

5. Listen to your heart's counsel. The logical, profitable, or fastest course may be in opposition with what you truly believe would be most rewarding.Following your heart can lead to great wisdom.

6. Accept that you have no control over the actions of others and discover the freedom of forgiveness. Letting go of old emotional wounds carries benefits to both body and soul.

7. Understand that failure, while painful, can be beneficial. Learn from your mistakes. Give the people in your life the chance to experience and learn from their own.

8. Never stop learning. True wisdom comes from knowledge and knowledge will only increase if you keep your mind open to new ideas and suggestions.

9. That which is in your power to do is also within your power not to do. Self-discipline is the foundation for all virtues. Avoiding toxic substances and keeping your body and mind healthy will help you break bad habits and adopt positive ones in their place.

10. The means to growth and change are within you and cannot be delegated to another. Live your own life as you wish it to be, cultivate self reliance, take responsibility, and love yourself.

Avoid idle banter – Ask yourself, “What are we accomplishing by this conversation?” and don’t chime in.

Beware of the “news flash” – Don’t let juicy news eat you up. Just bite your lip and prayerfully challenge yourself to be strong in resisting the temptation to gossip.

Question the source – When you hear something that sounds unreasonable, say so.

Change the subject – Find a reasonable way to steer the conversation to something edifying.

Avoid gossips – If you know a person has a propensity to gossip, avoid that person or suggest he or she thinks about the harm he or she is causing others.

Give people the benefit of the doubt – Go out of your way to think the best of others.

The buck stops here – When you hear gossip, make a commitment not to spread it.

Quote of the Day:

Anthony Robbins – The path to success is to take massive, determined action. It is in the moment of your decisions that your destiny is shaped

Today is the 12th of June 2008 and that of course means that it is the mid week Thursday edition of the Morning Cruise…so Thursday so how did you feel when you woke up this morning… were you tired, did you want to just crawl back or did you jump up and embrace the day…because you might feel so because of a lack of sleep think about that…

Moving onto today’s show we had all the usuals such as you’re Word of the Day, your SA Q&A, Information Guide, JobShop, and you’re Tip of the Day.

We also had interviews with:

COPIOUS - Affording a rich supply; in large quantities or lavishly

Trivial Question:

Q: Name of the ex-springbok coach that lead the boks to victory in 2007 Rugby World Cup?

Tip of the Day:

I spoke about winter delights so I’ll be telling you what are some wonderful ways to stay healthy, warm and entertained this winter, without breaking the bank…In the meantime I hope you thought about it if so…Then this is the right place because I have tips on winter delights…

1. Have a soup party
- Not only will soup help to keep you warm on a cold winter's evening, but it is also cheap and easy to make. Invite your friends around for a soup supper and ask them to contribute interesting breads to dunk in the hot and tasty soup.

2. Warm your heart with poetry - Snuggle up under the covers with a collection of poetry and a glass of red wine, or your favourite hot drink, to warm your heart and feed your soul.

3. Get the essentials - Put a few drops of tea-tree or peppermint oil in a bowl of hot water, then inhale the steam, to clear a clogged nose. Scent your sheets and pillow cases with lavender for a dreamy night. There are a whole range of essential oils to delight and soothe the senses and just one small bottle will see you through winter as you only need a few drops at a time.

4. Bright colours - will bring some life to a winter-weakened soul. Yellow awakens your inner spirit; red and orange motivate and make you more active. Why not pick up an accessory or two in one of these colours?

5. Healthy and happy - At this time of year, a sufficient supply of vitamins is imperative. Winter vegetables such as savoy cabbage, rutabagas, Brussels sprouts or kale provide a particularly good supply of vitamins and lots of calcium, potassium, sodium and iron. Tip: In order to keep those extra winter pounds in check, you can also improve your mood by eating foods that contain carbohydrates, such as noodles, potatoes or bananas. Those are healthier and the good effects last longer.

6. Sweat it out - Most of us have gym memberships that we never make use of. Winter is the perfect time to warm up at the gym. If you don't have money to go out but you are bored at home why not go for a quick work-out. You don't have to aim to become super fit, it's also a nice way to catch-up with friends and even pick up some good gossip in the changing rooms. Or simply re-create the heat of summer by having a sauna or sitting in the steam room.

7. Light up your life - Bright electric light can make a space seem colder. Create a cosy atmosphere with candlelight. Use your candles to enhance your bathtime experience in winter. If you have a fireplace, use it. It will warm the house and you can enjoy the red glow of the coals.

Quote of the Day:

Blaise Pascal - Vanity is so secure in the heart of man that everyone wants to be admired: even I who write this, and you who read this.

Today is the 11th of June 2008 and that of course means that it is the mid week Wednesday edition of the Morning Cruise…so Wednesday is here so after Friday I just so love Wednesday just because you know that you are half way through the week… So what I want to know from you is… what is your favourite day of the five day working week its so simple…

Word of the Day:

PAUCITY - fewness; smallness of number; scarcity

Trivial Question:

Q: From what prison was Nelson Mandela released in 1990?
A: Victor Vester

Tip of the Day:

I spoke about past and the future as the past future and presents is crucial part of our lives because what happens to us in the present will soon be form of the past and in some small way we can learn from our past in the future mmm is might sound confusing…In the meantime I hope you thought about it if so…Then this is the right place because I have tips on how to improve and work on the past and future…

1. Set A New Course - Your new course is first an internal one, which paves the way for external changes. If you're not satisfied with your life as it is, start by imagining that it can get better. What happens in your life is largely up to you, so make it a priority to figure out how to create what you want. Take time every day to think about what you want. Be willing to try new things.

2. Trust Your Intuition - Tapping into your inner wisdom. When you hear the "little voice of wisdom" inside, listen. Trust it. Life can be confusing, and some people do try to manipulate. If something doesn't feel right, it may mean that it's not for you.

3. Look For A Silver Lining - Developing a positive attitude. Search for the positive. Focusing on the negative dulls your energy and ability to cope. No matter how bad a situation seems, find something in it to appreciate. Ask yourself, what good could come from this? What can I learn here? The answers you get show you what to do next. You already have inside you the resources to make peace with the past and create a new future. You just have to learn how to use them.

4. Take A Step Back - Separating motivation from unconscious pattern Be on the lookout for destructive habitual patterns. Noticing is the first step to breaking them.

5. Watch What You Say - Developing effective communicationTell the truth. Be kind. A little goes a long way. Speak carefully. Emphasize the positive. Say good things, especially to yourself. Be aware of your effect on others. Don't assume you're being understood. When you realize you've made a mistake, apologize, face to face if possible so you can look the other person in the eye. Don't interrupt. Don't give advice unless you're asked. Don't gossip. It wastes time you could be using to empower yourself.

6. Don't Keep Score - Setting your own standards. Life isn't about success or failure. Although both teach valuable lessons, fulfilling your potential is the essential goal.

7. No Victims, No Villains - Every situation brings exactly what you need to wake up. Relationships are like jigsaw puzzles. All the pieces fit together to create the whole. You are not responsible for anyone else, nor are they for you.

8. Meditate And Treat Yourself Well - Nurture yourself. Make time to have fun and enjoy life. Take walks in nature. Spend time alone.

9. Get Outside Help -See beyond your blind spots. Get counseling. It helps to talk about your feelings, no matter how embarrassing, strange or awful they seem to you. Find someone you trust and feel compatible with, and be willing to pour your heart out.

10. Move On -Graduate to living fully. Respect your own boundaries. Your first commitment should be to yourself and to learning as much as possible from what happens to you. Only when you're at peace with yourself can you make a real contribution to anyone. I wish you healing, faith and the courage to make your dreams come true.

Word of the Day:

CLEMENCY - Disposition to forgive and spare, as offenders; mercy

Trivial Question:

Q: Name the first black archbishop ordained in Cape Town?
A: Desmond Tutu

Tip of the Day:

I spoke about friendship and I even asked the question what kind of friend have you been lately mmm… Friends play a vital role in our life I mean apart of your family they’re also always there…well most friends…In the meantime I hope you thought about it if so…Then this is the right place because I have tips on how to improve that relationship with your bbf or best friend …

1. Be a secrete admirer of your friend - If your friend is good at something then do not praise him/her in his/her presence. Praising a person for what he/she is good, does not improve his/her qualities, but can cause over-confidence to be induced in him/her, which surely will be harmful for your friend. A good friend should never miss an opportunity to praise his/her friend in front of others when he/she is not around.

2. Don't proved him/her wrong in public - As it is important not to praise a friend openly in his/her presence, it is also very much important to abstain from proving him/her wrong in front of other people. Take him/her away from the crowd and let him/her know where he/she is wrong. There is no point in proving your friend wrong in other's presence; it will spoil your friend's image in other's view. And additionally your friendship will be in danger.

3. Try to understand your friend - It is always important to understand what your friend is worried about or what problems he/she is facing. Always try to understand the situation your friend is in and try to soothe him/her. It is evident that if people are undergoing some problems, they will not speak up their problems to their brothers or sisters, they will instead tell everything to their friends. Let your friend speak up, just listen to him/her and be with him/her until your friend does not come out of frustration.

4. Pull Your Friend Away From Making Mistakes - If your friend is doing something wrong, it is your duty to let him/her know it at earliest. Keep in mind; best friend has to play a role of critic if he/she wants his/her friend to stop doing wrong things. But again keep in mind not to show your friends mistakes in front of other people. Sometimes it is important to understand your friend's intentions behind his/her actions and try to analyze situation, then only you should give your opinion.

5. The Ego Problem - Never let ego spoil your friendship. It is no reason to be jealous if your friend is not at all able to speak to you and is with someone else, you have to be his/her friend, do not expect word of gratitude from the person you think is your friend. Sometimes there could be a clash between you and your friend, and you both stop talking to each other for some time, it is not at all wrong to speak first and say sorry to your friend, no matter what happens.

6. Try to Teach Good Things - If you are a true friend, you should never give your hungry friend a fish, instead, you should teach him/her how to fish, this will give your friend food for lifetime. A good friend will never wish his/her friend to be dependent on someone.

7. Do Not Interfere - Most important point that one should take care of is that your friend has his/her own life and you should not interfere in his/her life. You have a right to tell your friend what is good and what is bad, but you do not have a right to make someone do what you wish.

INVECTIVE - An abusive expression or speech; a heated verbal attack

Trivial Question:

Q: On which day do we celebrate youth day?
A: 16th of June

Tip of the Day:

Now I spoke about those very embarrassing moments and I said that this time with a difference… at this difference involves your parents to…Some parents seem to enjoy embarrassing their children. Other parents don't even realise that they are being embarrassing; it just happens. Either way, when a child is embarrassed it can harm their self-esteem. So here are some tips …

· Treat your child with respect at all times.

· Don't be sarcastic towards them when they are trying to hold a conversation with you or introducing you to their friends.

· Don't make up embarrassing nick names for your child

· Avoid insulting them, especially in front of other people

· Don't bring up things about when they were a baby in front of their friends

· Don't tell cute stories about your kids to their friends or their friend's parents

· Don't show their friends embarrassing baby pictures

· Don't try to act like one of the gang, be the parent

· Don't say or do embarrassing things with your partner in front of your children

· Don't be overprotective in front of their friends

As the parents it is your responsibility to help encourage your child and build their confidence, not destroy it by embarrassing them all the time. Taking measures to avoid embarrassing your child can help to build up their self-esteem and make them a more positive and happier person. They will be more likely to introduce you to their friends if they are not worried about you embarrassing them. This means that you have the pleasure of being more involved in their life.

Word of the Day:

SPECIOUS - Apparently right; supposedly fair, or just correct

Trivial Question:

Q: Which day do we celebrate women’s day in South Africa?
A: 9 August

Tip of the Day:

Now earlier I spoke about arguments now I’m sure we all had our fair share of arguments, but today I’m going to tell you how to win those arguments and how to fight fair and how to fight right. We all get into arguments from time to time. But how do you deal with those people who consistently want to fight and act like they are always right? Here are five alternative methods for dealing with this type of difficult person.

1. Smile - Deflect the anger. Ask questions designed to get the other person to think about why he or she is upset. It’s very difficult to argue with someone who is smiling and conversing without resistance.

2. Let them think your point of view is their own - To do this requires some detail but is very powerful against extremely stubborn people who will never admit they are wrong. The trick is to ask questions designed to manipulate the person into arriving at your conclusion “on their own.”

3. Admit your mistakes - If you did something wrong or made a mistake, just be humble and admit it. This sounds like you’re conceding defeat, but actually this wins immediately since it takes the combative person completely off guard.

4. Shut up - This is an especially strong technique when you know you’re right and you suspect the other person knows it but isn’t ready to admit it. Let the person fumble and squirm around while you just listen.

5. Do Not Attack - Whatever you do, do not attack the other person. Sure, you might know the exact thing to say to hit ‘em where it hurts.

PARSE - To make sense of; to comprehend

Trivial Question:

Q: In what year did Nambia become independent?
A: 1990

Tip of the Day:

Now earlier I spoke about the fact that there’s is a certain part of the day that you are just so so tired and you just don’t feel like anything…you know what I’m talking about…It happens to me and I’m so sure it happens to you… In the meantime I hope you thought about it because this is the right place because I have tips on how to …

1. Have breakfast - Even if you don't feel hungry. Studies show that people who eat breakfast feel better both mentally and physically than those who skip their morning meal.

2. Eat every three to four hours - Having three smallish meals and two snacks throughout the day can keep your blood sugar and energy levels stable all day long Supersized meals demand more of your energy to digest, which can leave you feeling tired.

3. Fill up on more fiber - Fiber has a time-releasing effect on carbs, so they enter your bloodstream at a slow and steady pace, giving your energy staying power.

4. Fuel your brain with omega-3s - Found in fatty fish (such as tuna and salmon), walnuts, and canola oil, these essential fatty acids play a role in keeping brain cells healthy and helping you feel mentally alert.

5. Stay hydrated - Water makes up the majority of your blood and other body fluids, and even mild dehydration can cause blood to thicken, forcing the heart to pump harder to carry blood to your cells and organs and resulting in fatigue.

6. Watch caffeine intake after noon - Consuming a moderate amount of caffeine two to three cups of coffee — can make you more energetic and alert in the hours following, when caffeine is consumed in large quantities — or anytime in the afternoon or evening — the quality of your sleep that night can take a nosedive, leaving you with heavy eyelids the next day.

SLAVER – to drool or slobber


Trivial Question:

Q: Where is the South African Parliament located?
A: Cape Town

Tip of the Day:

Now earlier I spoke about insults I even asked a question …Have you ever been insulted by someone?…Then this is the right place because I have tips on how to …


· Listen to what the insulter says with a pleasant look on your face. However, be aware that smiling or laughing could be a psychological sign of defense in these circumstances.

· Do not show anger or fear of any kind, which will only give your insulter satisfaction.Upon completion of the insult(s), offer your insulter a quirky smile.

· Laughing in a breathy, gleeful way is quite effective in situations such as a nonchalant, "Oh, you!"

· Proceed to stare your insulter directly in the eye for an uncomfortable period of time. Five seconds should do it. Staring intently will most likely cause the insulter to walk away.

· As your insulter walks away, remember people who insult feel
intellectually inferior to you
, that's why resort to rude insults. You can call after them in a high-pitched voice, "Okay. Catch ya later," causing them to wonder what is going on?

A: FW De Klerk

Tip of the Day:



Now earlier I spoke about balance, to a large degree, is about doing your best with what you have rather than yearning after something else moms it can be very difficult so moms this tips are for you …



1. Get Real - Don't fantasise about some idyllic pre-feminist housewife existence. You can't help your kids if you're holding down three jobs to pay the bond on a husbandless house.


2. Negotiate - Try to work half-days. Demand flexitime. Insist on a compromise. And don't tell me that following this advice will compel employers to discriminate against women; I've seen how much work gets done by men during test cricket and rugby matches.


3. Use your resources - Don't use technology to punish yourself with higher standards; use it so you can be in two places at one time.


4. Multitask - Ironing isn't too bad if The Kumars at No 42 is on TV, and I haven't burnt anything... yet. And if you clean the house really, really fast, it counts as an aerobic workout and you don't have to pay gym fees.


5. Rope in your spouse and children - Realise that husbands, children and significant others frequently have no idea what is required of them unless you spell it out in excruciating detail.

Q: Which team defeated South Africa in the 2010 African Nations Cup Group four qualifier?
A: Nigeria

Tip of the Day:

Now earlier I spoke about saving and the importance of saving and turning around those pennies. So here are some tips …

1. Distinguish between Wants and Needs - You will save a ton of money if you don't mistake wants for needs. Needs are pretty simple to identify--those items that are necessary to sustain: Shelter, food, clothing, transportation. Wants are those things that enhance or possibly improve our family life.

2. Try before you Buy - This goes a long way in helping to avoid the silly purchases of things you rarely or never use. Before you buy something, especially items with big price tags, borrow one, rent one or try one out before you plunk down the cash.

3. Save change – Spare all those pennies lying in your wallet and throw it in a jar so that at the end of the month you can make use of that money.
