The life of Mpilo[Life] Part 2
A man without vision is like a lost soul wondering above the clouds searching for survival in sacred seas. The words are consciously driven upon what is the belief of Mpilo and his family. As traditional as he may be, he also thinks out of the box. Generally speaking, men from the village where Mpilo grew up were narrow minded, men who knew only the culture and the society they had grew up in.

Contrary to the nature of the culture that Mpilo grew up in was a vibrant and energetic small town that had developed to be a standard residential place for citizens who had searched for greener pastures. It has never occurred to me that people of such high calibre can actually make it out of the rural settlement and establish a new location where they can call home.

Surprisingly, his son had asked about his father's origins because boys are always curious to know about their paternity. Nevertheless, the son asked his mother about his father. Nobuhle then explained to her son how it came about that the conversation of where they are coming from is not usually held in their house. Simply because what had happened 20 years ago.

Mpilo was at his early 20s at this era, not knowing that the decisions he makes now will impact him for the rest of his life. Nobuhle was Mpilo's first ever girlfriend and so as Mpilo was Nobuhle's first ever boyfriend. Being in love in the early years of adulthood can be a bit uncomfortable because both individuals have to still discover themselves, know more about their capabilities, their strengths and weaknesses as well as get a further in-depth of the inner person inside of them, before they can even allow anyone to know more.

Mpilo had a dream to pursue, he was very passionate about becoming a school teacher, therefore he did all he could to become one. He enrolled at an institution of higher learning to be taught on how to become a teacher. First of all, he had been a teacher before he enrolled to an institution of learning. Mpilo used to teach his peers at a young age about how we as young people should be able to speak our minds. Imagine that a whole 6 year old boy, telling other 6 year olds to follow their minds and to speak their minds as well.

The mentality of having to get that formal training was not such a good idea to the people Mpilo is about leave behind when persuing their passion. After all whether the people you have been around with for more than three times, that's you in them. Make us of opportunities that comes in your way, we learn from people like Mpilo. Never ever let your destination be the solemnly director of the journey. What then when we all die? Who will God speak to if all humans are gone out of the face of the earth? How can I tell Mpilo that what if being employed is not the only way out. Otherwise Mpilo had planned to open a school but the struggle of combining the resources had been a detrimental effect.
