Where do you want to be - 6 Jan 09

Where do you want to be
in the life you are in
whether you just have
matriculated or not

Where do you want to be
girls wear blue, boys pink
know your place out there
in the pecking order

Where do you want to be
with your new qualification
at the start of this journey

Where do you want to be
what is your flavour
(not someone else’s)

(A hewer of wood
trapped behind a desk
working the streets)

Where do you want to be
what makes you happy
sleep well at night
(without conscience)

Where do you want to be
how do you get there before
others do (the same as you)

Where do you want to be
what are the challenges
(are they stumbling blocks)

Where do you want to be
what riches will you reap
in the food-chain of life
and will it make you better

Post-matric results, Sunday January 04 2008, what with whosoever out to make a quick buck, a career consultant on SAFM Sunday Morning AMLive tells us that we waste lots of time, money and effort not focusing on what it is we want – we apply for anything and everything, as we want a job and the money and shiny stuff that comes with it.
