I CHOOSE To Be A Value Engineer...And You?

“You are the Rainmaker of your generation” Thapelo Jonas

Have you ever wondered what distinguishes one race from another?

Think about this for a second…Everything that Asians touch turns into gold. Every town Chinese invade, they are able to start businesses in it overly quicker than anybody else.

How about the Jews? They generally grow to become the most successful businessmen, sportsmen and professionals in the world. Some of the world’s best restaurants are owned by them.

Let me bring it closer to home…

Indians are more inclined to business than anyone in South Africa. And they generally become successful in it. They are patient enough to make it big with small-profit-margin businesses. That’s amazing.

And I know you are going to blame my next point on the inbalances of the past regime, but white people, generally tend to want or own assets. What compels them to think in terms of assets instead of liabilities?

And Africans want to show off every second they get. They think they have made it when they drive expensive bank-financed cars while they live in a four-roomed houses. What makes them define themselves by what they have instead of who they really are?

The answer?…The dynamics of our upringing.

One of the reasons we started this group was to address the stereotypes of our past. You see, there are so many things, in my opinion, that were not instilled in us. And as a result, our present environment is paying the price for the shortfall of our past.

It makes me mad and sad at the same time when I look at the labour market. The predicament that many companies are in is touching—employers don’t know what to do anymore.

Many employees cannot work independently. They constantly need to be micro-managed. They misuse their employer’s resources--making personal calls with their employer’s telephone, taking two hour lunches, taking smoke brakes every 5 second and spending 4 or their 8 hours of work on Facebook...

Are you in that group of people? maybe not....

But What can we attribute this intolerable behaviour to?

Lack of principle called VALUE ENGINEERING....

In Project Management they say, VALUE ENGINEERING is concerned with optimising the conceptual, technical and operational aspects of a project's deliverables.

Out of that definition, we realise that Value Engineering has to do with OPTIMISING RESOURCES....

It doesn't matter in what environment you were raised, but if you can learn to optimise yourself and add value for your employer or your business, you will quickly see what exponential growth mean, be it in your salary or turnover...

Stop wasting time at work and leverage time to meet your deliverables...

If we want God to take us to the next level of our lives, we ought to change our thinking about certain things. The thinking that got you into trouble wont take you out of it.

And we ought to start where we are...in our house of employ. Start optimising your resources to add value in the company you work for.

PLEASE WRITE BACK TO ME IN THIS FORMAT....

I AM THAPELO JONAS, I was raised in BOTSHABELO, I AM AN AFRICAN CHILD...MY FAMILY DIDN'T HAVE MUCH. THEY NEVER TAUGHT ME TO ADD VALUE. THE HEROES OF MY CHILDHOOD MODELLED THIS MYTH; I MADE IT WHEN I DRIVE THE LATEST CAR...I THINK IN TERMS OF LIABILITIES INSTEAD OF ASSETS SOMETIMES...

BUT TODAY, I CHOOSE TO BE A VALUE ENGINEER.....AND U?

Yours In Motivation..
