The level of unemployment in South Africa officially decreased in the fourth quarter of 2012 by 0.1%, down from 25% to 24.9% (2012 Fourth Quarter Labour Survey).

Self worth by Yolandie Smith

Having a positive outlook on life changes your view of things around you. Looking at yourself in the mirror and reassuring yourself that you are “worthy” of live, love and happiness is just a small step in the right direction. Make a list with your good qualities and stick them up on the back door, so that you can read them before you go out in the day, if you can’t come up with any good qualities, ask someone close to you. Read “self-help” books and find something that you like doing, whether it is rock-climbing or scrapbooking. If all else fails seek professional help. Remember you are the only one responsible for your life and why spend the time we have here on earth feeling sad and unworthy if you can enjoy the gift that is life!
