Career, Attitude and Speech.
CAREER
This topic is probably one of the most important talking points as it has to do with a person's future. Many individuals start considering a future career path when they are around 16 years and older as they begin to take life more seriously (for most people).
The sad fact is that many choose a career for one of two reasons; They either know of a person in that particular career that is doing well or they choose a career based upon on the potential income they could be making at the end of the month. Very few choose a particular career path out of a passion or skill for it.
Society has depicted a distorted view of what our future should look like: "Nice car = happiness" or "once you have 'this' you will feel complete and at peace." But the reality is that 'having this' to ensure 'happiness' works on an individual's insecurities.
The truth is that having 'this' or 'that' does not and will not ensure happiness, but in the same breath, having a lack on finances can surely bring your spirits down and can keep you despondent. If you focus on 'having that' you will always be searching for true happiness.
True happiness is a choice that one chooses regardless of what society says about what 'happiness' is.
Money and riches will come and go, but true happiness can last a lifetime.
A common misconception that many people have is the following: Go to school, Go to a good university, Get the degree, Apply to a job, Get accepted, Make millions and retire by the age of 40. My answer to this is simply; If it were this simple, everyone would be millionaires.
Businesses generally look for an individual with experience accompanying the degree, rather than a 23 - 25 year old who has just graduated from university. Over the past few years, it is has been WHO you know, rather that WHAT you know.
This subject can be discussed in great detail but what it boils down to is that life out of school is not as easy as what some may think, and most importantly; choosing a career based upon finance is one of the most foolish choices a person can make, however, many only learn through experience.

What are your views about choosing a Career?
ATTITUDE
An attitude is defined by the reaction a person chooses upon a given scenario, in other words, if you are driving a car and someone speeds past you and then starts driving in front of you, you then have the option of choosing an attitude in which you react in.
A person's attitude is directly linked to the person's ability of self control. Those who lack self control will have a poor attitude and those who are masters of self control will have a positive attitude.
Your attitude sets you a part from the rest. A positive attitude is contagious to those around you, it goes hand in hand with happiness as no individual can create your happiness and/or your attitude - only you have control and power over it.
One of the greatest battles of all is the battle of self, if this can be mastered then you have nothing to fear in life.
Your thoughts trigger an emotion which brings forth an attitude that leads to a behaviour - it starts with the inside battle before the outside comes to pass.
What are your views on how a person's Attitude should be like?
SPEECH
Your speech is what can make or break you - it's that simple. A person with wisdom will take heed in his/her words, but a foolish person speaks without reasoning. Your tongue is like the rudder of a ship, although it is small, it has the power to direct your future.
Once you say something, it is impossible to take it back. Those who have an outgoing personality will feel confident in who they are and will not doubt in what they say, but they lack wisdom in knowing when to speak and what they should be saying. It is better to be silent and to be considered as boring than to be the "life of the party" and spoken negatively of when your back is turned.
A person does not need to raise his/her voice to win an argument, nor does he/she need to curse to bring any emphasis to what is being said.
Your speech can either exalt you or destroy you. Simply put, if you surround yourself with those who are not wise in their speech, then don't expect to speak with wisdom.
Again, a person's speech is directly in proportion to a person's self control.
