2AM messages to my dad

Buntu Majaja’s 7days2day — Episode 5

Hi taa (dad in Xhosa), Hope you are well.

Well good morning really.

There are two or three things that keep coming back to me these days. as lessons, may I please

1) Everyday I must re-valuate myself and my goals. I must re-focus and re-focus on my strategy for self growth. I must believe its possible. This is the toughest thing, to believe that its possible.

2) Then there are the syndicates taa, the communities of opportunity that are exclusive to those that went to a certain business schools, or belong to a certain family or part of a certain club etc. These are the syndicates that one works on on-top of working on themselves.

3) The whole system is broken, the financial system is broken, the economic system is broken and we are on the brink of great opportunity and great revolution. I feel broken. However as the world innovates so must we, so must I. So it seems I am breaking my promise about getting more sleep and drinking less coffee. At-least for now, because they say you cannot change the world on less than 90hours of work per week. Maybe I am naive to think I can change the world., provide massive “value”. But I am young energised enough to be naive and try.

Hopefully cleverly. — I have realised I must forget this notion, the only thing that matters is that I enjoy what I am doing. I am everyday really having a good time doing it. This is all that matters I think.

But for the opportunity to be born and all the support. thank you taa, thank you very much
