Thalonius Govender's autobiography

 *The Unlikely Culprit: How a Haircut Ruined My Life* It's been two years since my life took an unexpected turn, one that would leave me with a permanent reminder of the fragility of life. It's a story I never thought I'd be sharing, but one that I hope will serve as a cautionary tale. You see, it all started with a haircut. At the time, I was undergoing radiotherapy, a grueling but necessary treatment to combat a serious health issue. As part of the preparation, a custom-made mask was created to protect areas of my body that weren't being targeted by the gamma radiation. It was a precise and delicate process, one that required utmost care and attention to detail. But then, disaster struck. My hair grew, and my parents, well-intentioned but misguided, insisted that I get a haircut. They joked that I looked like a sheep, and I, eager to please, acquiesced. Big mistake. The haircut, though seemingly innocuous, had a devastating consequence. The mask, carefully crafted to ...

 Here's a rewritten version of the text, condensed to fit within the LinkedIn character limit for a post: " As humans, we're blessed with sight, but many of us have lost the capacity for true vision. Life's challenges can leave us feeling jaded and cynical, causing us to focus on flaws and pitfalls instead of possibilities. This phenomenon stifles our growth, prevents us from achieving our potential, and affects the world around us. To regain our sense of vision and optimism, we must let go of cynicism and fear of failure. We must be willing to take risks, experiment, and try new things. Let's choose to see the world with fresh eyes, curiosity, and a sense of wonder. Let's not be afraid to fail, for it's in those moments that we discover our greatest opportunities. I've experienced this firsthand while building my company from scratch. The negativity almost put me off, but a conversation with a blind friend reinvigorated me. Let's choose to see the ...

I’ve always believed in living fearlessly, embracing life’s opportunities with careful consideration of the real risks rather than being held back by imagined ones. As a professional who specializes in accurately measuring and quantifying risk, this mindset is second nature to me. My voracious appetite for information stems from a core belief: the world is a scary place only if it is misunderstood. The more knowledge we have, the more accurately we can predict and navigate challenges—and the less frightening life becomes. Despite this, my family often views my approach as reckless. I suspect this might stem from a tendency to catastrophize, possibly fueled by underlying anxiety. While I understand their concerns come from a place of care, it’s a reminder of how differently we all perceive and handle risk. Fearlessness isn’t about ignoring danger—it’s about recognizing what’s worth pursuing despite it. Life is too short to let anxiety cloud every decision.

  Here’s the revised version with correct apostrophes  My grade 3 teacher, Miss Martins, was right about me: I really am the loneliest boy in the world. She might have been joking when she said it, but here I am, years later, wondering if I’ve been walking around with a sign on my forehead that says, “Intriguing but perpetually misunderstood.” And that’s the thing. being lonely isn’t about not meeting people; it’s about not being understood. It’s never been a struggle to find girls interested in me. I guess my brain intrigues them. I get asked questions like, “How do you know that?” or the classic, “Do you have a computer in your head?” And yet, here I am, swiping on Tinder and watching the matches roll in, wondering why it still doesn’t work out. The problem isn’t the initial connection; it’s what comes next. There seem to be two types of girls I meet: the ones who are overly sexually aggressive (which freaks me out) and the ones who can’t quite grasp my sense of humor. Playf...

I love fish the most especially mackerel but browned beef is another flavour powerhouse. This method works for any cut of steak but my favourite is picanha also known as rump cap which usually has a nice layer of fat you can crispen while cooking.because it’s rump I find picanhahas a lovely beefy flavour however fillet iis most tender and almost melts in the mouth however it must have a sauce to pair it because I find it doesn’t have much flavour by itself. If you’re trying steak for the first time I’d recommend a fillet with a pepper or garlic sauce for a good time prep simply involves taking the steak out of the fridge to get to room temperature before salting generously with flaky sea salt, any salt will work but i love sea salt.and allowing to stand for at least an hour before going onto your grill or pan, this step is most important and is a lessonfrom heston blumenthal and it serves the dual purpose of seasoning and tenderising. coat the steak with oil(optional but i find it help...
