Description of Book:
Even though they are different in every way, it doesn’t stop Boomba and Poyoyo from being the bestsest friends ever.
From skylarking at school to a professorship at the best university in Africa. It's all here in this collection of loosely related memoir-essays: all twists in the winding road the author travelled to become a female computer science professor at the University of cape Town. Born and schooled in the Netherlands, Ms Keet didn't stay home for long. Her winding road had a distinctly international flavour. She has worked and studied in Ireland and Italy, and briefly in Peru and Cuba, before finding her way back to South Africa. The author herself says of her essays: ' They offer a peek into a kitchen where underway is making of a woman into an academic scientist when the yeast has been gender-spiked against her chances of rising.'
The author was just like many other children who grew up with nothing and felt that the world was against them.
Hearing hurtful words like, ’you will be nothing in life’, made him realise how cruel the world could be. But in response he kept these powerful words in mind:
HOPE
DETERMINATION
A WILL TO SUCCEED
The 21st century business model isn’t perfect, but it’s better than languishing in the never-ending unemployment queues. 21st century entrepreneurs can choose to work from home. They can even change countries without changing their source of income.
From this book you will learn all about the current and coming threats to job security and why you should consider becoming being entrepreneurial. There’s a chapter on the three common ways people get into entrepreneurship, and another on how to become and remain a 21st century entrepreneur. There are a couple of bonuses too. Find out why you should care about Bitcoin, and what on earth is DeFi? Apart, that is, from being new-speak for decentralised finance.
A soul that is afraid of dying has never learned to live … This is the precept by which Dick Mawson has lived his adventurous life. He was born in England during the Second World War. With his parents he crash landed into southern Africa where he grew up.
Growing up in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa in the 1950’s and 1960’s the emphasis on the way of life was completely different to the present day some nearly 70 years later.
He writes of his reminiscences of his school days and especially his involvement in sport which was compulsory. Many of life’s lessons were learnt young on the rugby or cricket fields.
