* One of 'our' graduates - Hirohito - giving us a detailed and thorough analysis of the Feel Good Movement blog.
'Our' graduates - as we call them here at work - are this select group of employees with degrees, who are on this special programme that fast tracks them to managerial positions. They are visiting our '1 and done' branch to help migrate customer traffic from the tellers department inside the branch, to the new Automated Deposit Machines outside.
But I digress. Back to Hirohito's scholarly feedback. In his own words:
"I generally liked the layout of the website and the ''cause" that you are
trying to promote. It is a noble one, one that most of us are either indifferent
to or willfully ignorant of .I do, however, think that the website could be
more interactive....(Also) with more effort ,you could include more articles
that are both interesting and relevant to your "cause".
P.S.
On the whole, a worthy, noble and relevant "cause"! Good work!! Keep it up!!!"
Spoken like a true graduate indeed.
'Hiro' took me back to my school days. This is how our English teachers used to dissect our essays. This memory felt wonderful.
* An article in the Sunday Times( 15/02/09) supplement( "It's My Business") that greatly inspired me. It was about how this gentleman - Joel Makitla - got be on the brink of opening Soweto's first motorbike dealership. I particularly loved his early ventures into the business world. Joel related how he did without a lot of things when he started, things that people his age considered a must. This was while he saved up for his first business venture. He was working at a bank then. For example, he says he wore the same shoes to work every day. He did not have a cellphone, no TV or music system. While his friends laughed at him, he was busy putting away R500 every month.This grew to R21 000 in 18 months. And he used this money to start his first small business. From this small start he never looked back.
How many of us can withstand peer pressure like Joel did in order to work on our dreams?
And to those friends of his who laughed, " Who is THE MAN now?"
* The FIFA 2010 World Cup (S A) buzz starting in earnest. The tickets go on sale from tomorrow worldwide. Here in S A they will be sold exclusively at FNB branches. This festival of soccer will run from June 11 to July 11, next year.
Some of us cannot wait.It has been a long wait since we were awarded the World Cup. I still remember the outpouring of joy throughout the whole country when we got the nod. The mood was like we had actually won the football tournament itself.
That picture of FIFA President - Sebb Blatter-holding an envelope, and going:
"The FIFA 2010 WORLD CUP will be hosted in South Africa."
will stay with me forever.
Now let us all - as South Africans - make this the best World Cup ever.
As USA President Obama once put it:"This is our time."
THANK YOU UNIVERSE. THANK YOU FOR OUR 'FEEL GOOD MOMENTS'
