I believe leadership begins with courage. These are qualities that bring out your inner spirit and show your true personality. Leadreship would take you far in life, but you would have to be positive in your thinking and brave in standing up for what you believe in.
For me leadership is to be a leader, a person who has a principle part in something and a person who’s example is followed. On the other side courage in my opinion is bravery and the ability to control fear during difficult times. Not every person is a leader but we could all have the courage to become one, it might be in school, in our community or for our country. I have an eye opening story that might explian to you what a true leader is and courage in one’s heart.
It started in 1983 when I witnessed a number of people being beaten by the police at the elections in Lenasia. This was when I gained the courage to fight for our rights. We protested a number of marches . one of our marches took place in Lenasia , there were +- 25 people marching (nobody else wanted to join), I was leading the march. When the police came everybody ran away and hid. I tried to hide with a friend in the car but the police found us. That day I had to do the golden chair infront of ten policemen and they laughed at me when I started to shake. It was a very humiliating experience. It nearly killed my pride but luckily I had the courage to go on.
Courage and leadership go hand in hand. If you have the courage , the bravery and the ability to fight for what you believe in, you then have the ability to become a leader. Like me, when I gained the courage to fight for my rights and not be afraid, I started marching and even became part of the Transvaal Indian Congress and Lenasia youth league. Later on I even became Ameer of the M.S.A.
The lessons I learnt and would like to teach you are things that you should ponder on and hopefully change you views. You should never be afraid to fight for what you believe in. you must never be shy or afraid to speak up and become a leader. Like the Prophet (S.A.W.) said “two kinds of people will never learn, a shy person and an arrogant person.”
The morals I learnt from the apartheid regime are that you should always treat people fairly and the way you want to be treated. Don’t be afraid to be a leader, you will learn and teach others many things. Leadership some have and some don’t, make an effort and be one of those who are!

Propaganda
Propaganda is a deliberate message which aims at persuading a target group of people which influences opinions and beliefs on religious issues. Propaganda presents information in order to influence its audience. It can influence the emotions, attitude, opinions and actions of specified target audience for ideological ideological, political or commercial purposes through the controlled transmission of one-sided messages (which may or may not be factual) via mass and direct media channels.
Propaganda has to do with any ideas or beliefs that are intentionally propagated. It uses words and word substitutes in trying to reach a goal—pictures, drawings, graphs, exhibits, parades, songs, and other devices. Propaganda shares techniques with advertising and public relations. Advertising and public relations can be thought of as propaganda that promotes a commercial product or shapes the perception of an organization, person or brand.. Propaganda promotes things that are generally acceptable and non-controversial.
There are different kinds of propaganda, from selfish, deceitful, and subversive effort to honest and aboveboard promotion of things that are good.
Propaganda can be concealed or open, emotional or containing appeals to reason, or a combination of emotional and logical appeals.

The Gate to Success
I sat at the computer and started my first assignment for university. Born in the age of computers a thought suddenly ‘popped’ to mind! How would I be able to do my work without Microsoft? How would everybody’s life be without Microsoft?
He is an entrepeneur, software executive and chairmen of Microsoft, the software he founded with a friend. Bill Gates is one of the best knoen entrepeneurs of the personal computer revelution and has made computers easily accessible for all of us. Today Gates is holding the position of CEO and chief software architect and is the largest individual shareholder in the world.
Bill Gates wasd born on the 28 October 1955. He attended elementary school and private Lakeside school were he discovered his interest in software and began programming computers at thirteen. At this age he was caught exploiting bugs in the system to get free computer time.
Bill Gates entered Harvard University where he created a programming language. He spent most of his time at Microsoft, which is a company he began in 1975 and began developing softwares for personal computers. He dropped out of college and did not finish his law degree as he did not have a definite study plan.
In 1975 Gates contacted the creators of the new microcomputer (MITS) and told them they were working on an interpreter for the platform. In reality this was not true but it was to generate interest and a meeting was agreed upon. Over the cause of that two weeks they created an emulatorthat ran on a microcomputer and then the Basic interpreter. The meeting was successful and a partnership Microsoft had taken place. Gates then demanded payment from the software developers and then Microsoft continued to develop programming language software from various systems without MITS.
If it wasn’t for Bill Gates our computers would not be so advanced and we would not have Microsoft to do most of our work on. Internet would not be as accessable as it is, software for personal computers would not be available and computers would be much slower. Computer together with Microsoft today is a valuble tool and needed in every home. Many people can not live without technology and because of Bill Gates we are improving in techhnology everyday. Microsoft has advanced and improved software technology, to make it easier, cheaper and more fun for people who use computers.
Gates was named one of the hundred people who most influenced the 20th century as well as hunrdred most influential people and he is one of the most wealthiest people in the world. From this ilearnt that you are never too young to start anything new and even though it may seem impossible even the sky is not the limit.
With a lot of critism and competition, Bill Gates still went on to fulfill his dream. He left something behind that will help many. He will be remembered for years to come and will be widely admired. Sitting infront of the computer, openning up Microsoft I knew Bill Gates as a legacy.

A Toast To The Masters
It wasn’t a long time ago when I was petrified speaking in public, now after 8 sessions of toast masters I’m still petrified.
It wasn’t a long time when i used to have sleepless nights if I knew i had to address an audience, however small, the next day. Then one day while daydreaming in the maths classroom there was a knock at the door. I saw Mr. Ahmed enter; unaware of my surroundings i felt my hand spring up. I tried to trudge it down but once again it sprang up as though i was reaching for the stars. And the next thing i heard ‘see you at toast masters Friday 7:30 sharp.’ It wasn’t Friday the thirteenth but it was as close as one could get to it. They say that people suppress the memory of bad experiences, let me tell you that’s all a lie because I remember every single detail of that night. The clock ticked, even the digital clocks were ticking. Just before 7:30 on that Friday, with my heart pounding, my palms sweating and the sound of fear filled my ear drums. I heard a familiar but distant voice ‘ice breaker Tasneem’ were the words that compared with the sound of fear. This was my cue that my moment of cue had arrived. It’s funny how the audience were transformed into eyes with no heads, no bodies. 24 large unforgiving & intimidating eyes. I knew at that moment i was the only person in South Africa who longed for a power cut. I remember the days when it took hours to find a topic to speak on. It took me just on 3weeks to get this song. There was also a time when I couldn’t stop myself from shivering in front of an audience. So what has 8 sessions of toast masters helped me, I’m petrified, I have sleepless nights, I can’t find a topic and I still shiver. The answer is very simple I may still be petrified but now I’m brave enough to overcome it. I may still battle to find a topic but now I know the topic will eventually find me and yes i may still shiver but now I do it with attitude.
So tonight i feel like a graduate and like any graduate should do, I must publically thank those who guided me through these 8 sessions and helped me reach for my stars. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Ahmed Lambat and Mr. Haroun Pochee and for you i propose a toast; may you be rewarded for making a difference in our lives

I have a healthy nutrition base to build on by making a better eating plan and to start eating healthier. I need to get a good nutrition by having and maintaining a healthy body and exercising regularly. I must learn to always be happy with my body no matter what and I musn’t become caught up in a spiral of bad feelings because this can contribute mentally and physically to my body. I need a healthy body so I can get an active, healthy mind.
GUIDELINES FOR HEALTHY EATING

I enjoy soccer because I get joy from it from the adrinelin rush and I can get fitter.
HOW TO MAXIMISE EFFECTIVE TIME
Since I am very lazy and lose track of time really quickly I need to learn how to maximise my time. To do this I need to stop watching so much T.V and sittimg around doing nothing. I should start planning my day out and doing my work instead of procrastinating it and doing it last minute.i should not lose track of time and lose my concentration so quickly. I should do constuctive work in my free time so that I can appriciate my free time
WHERE AM I CURRENTLY
I am currently in Roshnee Islamic Schoo and I am in grade 11. I chose biology, science and accounting as my subjects so I have a wide choice when it comes to picking my career. I am doing average in class and can improve my science and english mark by 10 percent. I can improve my english by reading.
MY STUDY GOALS
This year I hope to start working harder and do better in school. Next year I hope to pass matric with 3 A’s and do well in my other subjects. I hope to go to WITS and study. Im not so sure what I want to study but I’m thinking about Becom accounting , engineering or occupational therapy.

Ø Stress
Ø Not understanding
Ø Not enough time
Ø Thinkers block
Ø Lazy to study

I have a healthy nutrition base to build on by making a better eating plan and to start eating healthier. I need to get a good nutrition by having and maintaining a healthy body and exercising regularly. I must learn to always be happy with my body no matter what and I musn’t become caught up in a spiral of bad feelings because this can contribute mentally and physically to my body. I need a healthy body so I can get an active, healthy mind.

I enjoy soccer because I get joy from it from the adrinelin rush and I can get fitter.
HOW TO MAXIMISE EFFECTIVE TIME
Since I am very lazy and lose track of time really quickly I need to learn how to maximise my time. To do this I need to stop watching so much T.V and sittimg around doing nothing. I should start planning my day out and doing my work instead of procrastinating it and doing it last minute.i should not lose track of time and lose my concentration so quickly. I should do constuctive work in my free time so that I can appriciate my free time
