The House She Built a Source of Conflict

-
There was a time when everything seemed to be going right for Amara . She was a beautiful woman, not only in appearance but in the way she carried herself. She grew up in a loving home, surrounded by parents who worked hard and believed that their children should never lack opportunities. Her father was a respected man who worked tirelessly to provide for the family, while her mother was equally hardworking. They raised their daughters with discipline, kindness, and the belief that education and hard work were the keys to a good life. Amara was the elder daughter. Her younger sister, Nadia , was also intelligent and ambitious. The two sisters grew up watching their parents work together, and they learned an important lesson from them: nothing worthwhile comes without sacrifice. As the years passed, both sisters became successful in their own ways. Amara worked hard, saved her money, and eventually achieved something she had dreamed about since she was young. She bought a beauti...

10 reasons why you should pursue an MBA

-

 WHAT is an MBA? Bschools.org describes an MBA, short for a master of business administration, is a graduate degree that provides students with practical and theoretical training to aid them in better understanding the general functions of business management.

Some MBA programmes accept students without professional experience, some MBA programmes require that applicants have two to four years of work experience or even five or more.

Professional MBA programmes are meant for bachelor’s degree holders with less than five years of experience while executive MBA programmes are aimed towards those aspiring to senior-level management positions.

What are the entry requirements to study for an MBA in South Africa?

  • 4 year degree (NQF 8) OR 3-year degree plus PG-Dip (NQF 8)
  • Post-university work experience: A minimum of four years for the programme.
  • Acceptable GMAT, NMAT score OR the WBS Admission Test.
  • Maths: a level of competence equivalent to the requirements of the SA matric certificate.

An MBA degree has many advantages, technically and personally. It will open up opportunities for career growth and financial compensation whether you work in technology, finance, management, marketing, or manufacturing.

An MBA degree can also develop your communication and leadership skills, both of which are critical for professional success.

Dr Akhil Shahani, chief executive of Ask.Careers suggests these 10 benefits of doing an MBA:

1. Higher salaries: An MBA degree not only offers better job prospects to graduates, but it also comes with higher salaries than you would otherwise receive. It is the preferred qualification for a managerial role, which is traditionally a high-paying job. It can significantly improve your chances of landing a top-level management role and may even help as you climb the career ladder.

2. Better career opportunities: Graduates of an MBA programme have access to a more diverse and broad range of opportunities, such as human resource management, statistics, technology and information systems, economics, and finance. All of these areas qualify an MBA graduate to work in a number of fields and industries.

3. Network of successful peers: MBA students get more opportunities to network in the corporate world. Many universities have events and initiatives for students to meet or connect with experienced professionals and business leaders of top multinational companies.

4. Develop management skills: An MBA prepares students or professionals to plan for changes in the business world. The skills one acquires at a management school are the best tools for adapting to the unavoidable shift in industries, markets, and business practices.

5. Build personal credibility and brand: Individuals who choose to form their own companies instead of being employed within an institution often find that an MBA accords them credibility in the market.

6. Global exposure: An MBA graduate from an accredited school is recognised as someone with competency over core areas and major managerial positions within an organisation. Since it is highly consistent with other similar managerial degree programmes, it can be used to explore career options in any part of the world.

7. Develop personality and soft skills: Modern MBA programmes stress developing a student's personality, soft skills and professionalism, allowing them to develop into outstanding communicators and advisers, with a new perspective on life and the business world.

8. Entrepreneurial skill development: MBA graduates go on to become young entrepreneurs. An MBA programme provides you with the necessary knowledge and skills to eventually start and run your own businesses.

9. Build industry connect: Recruiters, keynote speakers, old-school business leaders, and young entrepreneurs, are among the people a candidate will encounter when pursuing an MBA.

10. Improving communication skills: Being a good communicator is a key life skill, no matter what you do. It can help you share your ideas, motivate others, and build a network. This is why communication is a key component of every MBA programme specialisation. It can help you interact effectively with your co-workers, supervisors, employers, and other associates in the future.

Earning an MBA means investing a significant amount of time and financial resources, but ultimately it pays off in personal satisfaction as well as competitive salaries and career growth opportunities.

This New Ultralight Aircraft May Be World’s Fastest Single-Engine Business Jet

  The speedy LAR-01's automotive interior adds comfort and luxury. Plus: The wings detach, so the jet can be stored in a home garage. By  MICHAEL VERDON           Courtesy Flaris The  Flaris  LAR-01 has a number of striking stats, including being a ton lighter (literally) than its competitors, along with an unusually short-field landing capability, and detachable wings. But its most impressive number is the 250-knot true air speed, which its designers say makes it the world’s fastest business jet among single-engine very light jets and turboprop aircraft. Flaris says recent tests “confirmed the assumptions made previously” about the effectiveness of multiple systems, including its Garmin G600 avionics and Flaris Flight Assistance System flight computer, as well as the landing gear and emergency parachute system. But it also claims more impressive stats like the 250-knot TSA at 10,000 feet. Its 6,000-feet-per-minute climb rate, adds the compan...

Fighting Drug addiction

-
 Here's the story: We sat down with a man who had a harrowing journey with addiction. He began by telling us about his early days in tertiary education, where he would occasionally smoke dagga with friends. However, his focus remained on his studies, and he worked hard to graduate and secure a qualification. After landing a job, he started building a life for himself. He got married, bought a property, and even splurged on a car. Life was good, and he felt like he was on top of the world. But one fateful night, while out with friends, he was introduced to heavier narcotics. At first, the experience was exhilarating. He described it as an elevation from the mild high of dagga to a level 5 high, where he felt invincible and euphoric. The effects would last for days, allowing him to party from Friday to Sunday without sleep. The problem, however, began to manifest on Mondays and Tuesdays every week, when the withdrawal symptoms would kick in, and he'd struggle to function at work....

Ultra-Widebody Volkswagen Bus "Volkswide" Looks Like a Porsche Racing Van

  Home   >   News   >   Renderings It's easy to understand why a muscle car or a Ferrari is cool - the big engine and cool body. But car culture is also influenced by television, rarity, or simply a generation growing up with a particular vehicle. The Volkswagen Bus is a perfect example of this because it's slow, not sporty-looking, yet it can cost a lot of money.  16 photos The Bus is perhaps one of the least understood collectibles, right up there with bubble cars. You see them grabbing huge money at auctions, making it difficult to visualize why somebody wouldn't rather have a Ferrari or some 1960s Mustang. Comedian Gabriel Iglesias is known as the VW Bus King, as his collection of Vdubs is reportedly worth in excess of $3 million. The Hoonigan crew recently did a feature video, but we still had trouble picturing the value of these vehicles. Fortunately, there's a set of renderings that takes the visuals of the Microbus to the level where everybody...
