Should We Be Courting Our To Be Friends

There is nothing as hurtful as being as being let down by someone you thought was a friend. It is a terrible feeling and the hurt is very long lasting. The difficulty with friendship is it is mostly imaginary.

Mostly we operate from a presumptuous mode. We never stop to ask if the other person feels for us the same way we feel for them. Until that moment when you need a hand, a shoulder, a friend and the other person gives you their back we presume we are operating on the same wave length. I suppose what makes it hard is that we don't court friends the same way we do partners. With someone you end up dating you state your purpose but with friendships we presume all those that smile at us feel the same way we do.

The pain is devastating especially because the signals we thought we read right may not have been signals at all. Maybe that person was looking for a fling

Taurai - What A Man

My sister Melody married Taurai in 1997. Theirs was a relationship the world admired. They created and formed a union that even I admired. To honour Taurai's greatness, his life for my sister and for all of the Chadamoyo family I did this documentary. It's only a ten minute piece which tries to capture 37 years of his life and I hope it does him justice. This documentary piece was done as part of a FOMACS media training programme and aired by RTE radio.

Short Speech by Bryan Dyson (CEO of Coca Cola)

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're keeping all of these in the Air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it."

Work efficiently during office hours and leave on time. Give the required time to your family, friends, spirit & most importantly have a proper rest.
