Yes our country's economy is not doing well & I hope everybody can see it like the way we're supposed to, companies are struggling to keep up and those who can keep up need to go through retrenchments for them to survive. The job market is steadily freezing, unemployment rate is growing everyday & I remember the words of one revolutionary "a hungry man is an angry man" and I wonder if I'm the only person who knows about that phrase. People get mugged & hijacked everyday and the government officials are so quick to deploy the correctional services & the Police as if they would know how to stop or reduce the crime. Our situation is beyond the Police, they are hungry too & that shows in many ways especially when they start taking bribes. The financial state of the majority is a bit scary looking also at the number of immigrants from different cultural background, here I'm talking of those with the winning formula & the ones with street psychology. Profit is profit at the end of the day, the patience of the masses will one day run-out & change shall be forged. As I'm jotting down now over 10 000 South Africans are being retrenched from their job by some of the prominent companies due to profit loss & all these other reasons. Change is here & it's either you are ready to wait for what you deserve or get depressed in the awe of poverty, or join the corrupt to survive. No matter what your choice is when you receive that retrenchment package, take it with a smile because it's part of your rights as an employee. Be inspired to start your own, be inspired to take that very first step to say "enough is enough". I mean lets together say no to corruption, it affects more than just the economy. It affects even the poor of the poorest. I know these article of mine might be like a suicide note to my career if not the catalyst, but all I really want to say to the capitalists of these world is that "One day the poor will have nothing else to eat but the Rich". When you are busy with the process of increasing your money just don't forget that somethings in these world money won't be able to buy & that is just sad. To the poor & the survivors out there, be just inspired...Be Strong Enough To Let Go & Patient Enough To Wait For What You Deserve!!! Do what's right & please don't forget to do it in the right way... ...be efficient & effective in all that you do, success will come your way. Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans, keep making those plans & do your best in executing them. Remember fail is not an obstacle, it is the First Action In Learning and if you live your life like a pencil them problems will be your sharpener so you can draw a better picture of the future.
When you have the love for a woman or brand nothing can really shake it. I still remember my first crush like it was yesterday even though it has been decades since then, I know that very person is now not what my heart desires or admire. I have grown to understand more than what the eye can see, like the first time I saw a Mercedes Benz. I saw an elegant car that was competing with likes of AUDI, BMW,Volkswagen(VW), Opel and few other brands I knew at that time. I fell in love with Mercedes Benz since the very first time I laid my eyes on it and even more when I took the first ride, then later that love developed into obsession that gave birth to the passion that is helping to write this. Yes I know a lot of people will be against this hence I need not to go into details or even technicalities on this one, I'm not writing this blog post for Mercedes Benz and neither are they paying me to write this. I don't want to know much about what other cars' lovers feel about me or what I write about my love for the car(Mercedes Benz), I don't know much about its history hence the little I heard & read. Mr Karl Benz created the first one & named it after his daughter Mercedes, surely there was no ways that he could have made anything named after his Princess look ugly or perform with defects. Their slogan "Das Beste oder nichts" which translate "The best or nothing" really defines the way they have approached innovation & inventions in their own company & its history. Not so long ago I read the article "The Mercedes-Benz Future Truck drives itself" and that really confirmed the very same statement I make every time when an argument about cars arises, "There are only 2 types of cars in the world and that is Mercedes Benz & The rest.
I don't want spoil anything said or written about the Future Truck, all left for me is to salute the Slogan "Das Beste oder nichts" because it applies to me & it's the very reason I choose Mercedes Benz over any other car. In fact these technology of a Truck driving itself will be used in cars soon, hence it is expected to be in use from 2020 on normal cars & 2022 on trucks'. If the car is not a Mercedes Benz then it is their Competition off which I have to repeat my own slogan "THERE ARE ONLY 2 TYPES OF CARS IN THE WORLD, MERCEDES BENZ & THE REST..."
Yes I am well aware of the other top German technologies in the world of automobiles, from "Vorsprung durch Technik(Advancement through Technology)"/"Wahrheit in der Technik(Truth in Engineering)" to The Ultimate Driving Machine/Sheer Driving Pleasure "Freude am Fahren". What more can I say? Even the slogans speak for themselves...when everybody is trying to give us the pleasures of driving technology or advancing to the truth in technology, Mercedes Benz is committed to giving you the BEST better than the REST.
Das Beste Oder Nichts/Best Or Nothing defines Mercedes Benz & they define my interest in Automobiles...it is Mercedes Benz or Nothing!!!
