* Three of my colleagues showing us their other side at a recent branch Christmas Party function. Romique, Sbu and Sanele were on the decks at this function. They displayed their skills as DJs. What was exciting about this was the possibility that, if these guys really wanted to and were prepared to work hard at it, they could live the life of their passion. If they really wanted to, they could live a life of 'travelling, babes, music and Amamboweni'. They could live a DJ's life.
* The driver of our taxi to The GLEN mall( from the Bara taxi rank) proving to be a considerate someone.And being considerate is a rare quality in our taxi drivers.
An elderly lady had gotten into 'our' taxi by mistake. She wanted a taxi to GLEN(an area back inside Soweto), whereas we were actually moving outside of Soweto. Our driver got to hear about the lady's mishap just after we departed from Bara.But instead of getting upset at having one passenger less and therefore losing a R7, our driver simply dropped the elderly lady at the next 'robots'(traffic lights) and directed her to the right queue. And indeed we continued on our way without him mentioning the incident any further. In these trying economic times for the taxi industry, our driver's handling of this incident was admirable.
* The MD of Iburst - Alan knott-Craig - weighing in once again with one of his trademark positive and uplifting emails to his staff. This email appeared in the Sunday Times of this past Sunday(07/12/08). We particularly loved this part of it:
"Report crime,pick up litter, give to the needy, create jobs, look after the children, practise safe sex, drink filter coffee. We all have a responsibility to make the magic happen, otherwise you'll end up in bed in 50 years time, looking back and saying: What if?"
Well put MD,well put.
THANK YOU UNIVERSE. THANK YOU FOR OUR 'FEEL GOOD MOMENTS'.

Our FEEL GOOD poem of the week:
Outside our 9-5's
_______________
Who are we?
What are we?
Outside our 9-5s.
Are we still just FNB employees,
PICK'N PAY workers,
Even on weekends?
We can be more.
If we put our mind to it,
We can live our passions,
After hours.
One little step at a time,
Like Romique,Sbu and Sanele.
On weekends we can dream a little.
What do we want to be,
When it's all said and done?
=================================================
SO, SOUTH AFRICA AND THE WORLD OUT THERE, WHAT MADE YOU
FEEL GOOD THIS WEEK?
