If this truth did not stab you in the stomach and twist, perhaps it would be funny - so today the funny has somewhat of a dark side - to make you think - hard!
Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.

Hello everybody.
My name is Nikki Viljoen and I own a Company called Viljoen Consulting. I am an Internal Auditor and Business Administration Specialist here in Gauteng in South Africa and I am very good at what I do!
You may be wondering why it is that I have decided to start my own blog and why it is that I call it “When Reality Bites”. Catchy name don’t you think?
Well you see it is like this…. So many of us go through life – usually with blinkers on and then when the brown stuff hits the fan, the most commonly used phrase is “why me?” – my usual response to that is “Well why not you?”. Somewhat harsh you may think, but hell, that is just the reality of the situation.
We all have heard and are familiar with the saying “Knowledge is Power”. Well I would like to disagree with that statement. “Why” you may well ask – well think about it for a moment. If you had all the knowledge in the world – exactly what would you have – certainly not power – in fact I would be so bold as to say that you have …. Exactly nothing!
Okay, so now that I have heard the pin drop throughout the world, in shocked and stunned silence, let me explain myself. The true reality is that it’s not the knowledge that is the power, it is what you do with that knowledge that is so powerful!
This blog is to try and inform you of what is happening out there in the big world. The kinds of fraud, scams etc that are taking place so that you have the Power to prevent them from happening to you too. Articles on what is happening around the world, so that we don’t all have to go on living in a “mushroom” world. It’s not all doom and gloom though as I intend to have some motivational stuff, a few quotes thrown in, some perception altering stuff, some fun stuff in the form of really good jokes and even some of the amusing things that I have done in my life.
So sit back, if you will, enjoy the ride and please feel free to comment about all that is posted, and even some of the stuff that you would like to see posted.
Most of all have fun.
Hoping that you have an awesome, fantabulous day and may the Gods (whomever you perceive them to be) grant you all that you wish for yourself … in great abundance.
