………………………………………………….

Harare – Zimbabwe’s representative in Africa’s Big Brother reality TV show landed in second place, but took home a prize bigger than the official jackpot, a gift from President Robert Mugabe’s family.

Munyaradzi Chidzonga lost out to Nigeria’s Uti Nwachukwu, who won the official $200 000 prize from the show that locks contestants from around the continent in a house. But the 24-year-old received a $300 000 cheque from President Robert Mugabe, state media said.

The money was collected through a campaign spearheaded by Harare businessman Phillip Chiyangwa, a relative and close ally of the veteran ruler, who reportedly thought the voting on the show was unfair. It’s not clear if 86-year-old Mugabe himself actually watched the show. “I didn’t think you would survive because you looked so young, perhaps the youngest of them all,” Mugabe told Munyaradzi as he handed over the cheque.

Motivational Message Of The Week: Competing With Yourself Is The Key To Success

10/25/2010 8:34 am

Competition is an effective tool needed to keep mankind on track on the path of success. This tool as a two cutting edges and therefore can produce two opposite results depending on which edge is in use.

I like to compete in life but only with myself. Any other form of competition such as competing with your friends’ achievements, that of your siblings, neighbors or foes is an erroneous move which puts unnecessary pressure and restrains on you and your achievements.

Have a close look at your fingers and you will quickly come to a quick realization that “all your fingers are not equal”. No matter how much competition they dig into with themselves, they can never be equal, yet they all have important and unique function to perform.

Examining and scrutinizing your life in efforts to have a vivid picture of your achievements and thereby setting up goals to attain the targets you have set for yourself is what I call “competing with yourself”.

For instance, if you just wrote an examination and you attained a pass mark of 70 and looking at your “own” achievement, decide to improve on this by targeting 90 the next time, it is perfectly right and a good move. This is what competition in life should all be about, “Competing with your own achievements”.

The difference between a model and a Supermodel is that they command the high fashion runways of fashion designers in Milan, Paris and New York. The money he/she commands because of their looks and reputation translate into a feature in elite print advertisements including but not limited to international magazine covers, international commercials and international billboards.

Supermodels are the cream of the crop, they sometimes get insurance on certain body parts due to it being their money-maker. Once in a while I will feature articles on Supermodels from Africa with special attention to our region.

The one thing all these Supermodels have in common is the fact that they were discovered in western countries for instance fast rising high-fashion darlings Kelly Moreira and Salieu Jalloh were discovered in France and New York respectively.
