2010 - The Year for South Africa,Ms Gina Tripani's Essay,And Leaps of Faith

* The arrival of 2010 at last.We- the people of Mzansi- have been waiting for this year with bated breath since South Africa won the right to host FIFA's World Cup.
The world's eyes are on us from now onwards.This focus will intensify during the tournament itself between 11th June and 11th July.
Needless to say- as hosts - we must give our visitors a warm welcome when they do land here.
At the same time let us use all the oppportunities that will arise out of hosting such a big event.Be it a chance to make freinds with the world citizens or a chance to get a business idea off the ground.

"Whatever we do this year Mzansi people,let it be to show our country in the best possible light."


* A highly inspirational essay entitled "Productivity" by a lady called Gina Trapali.
This essay appears in a freely distributed ebook called "What Matters Now".In here various writers wax lyrical about what matters now, in their opinion.
Ms Trapani's essay was my favourite.She wrote:

" Getting things done is not the same as making thing happen.
You can:
.....reply to email
.....pay the bills
.....cross off to-dos.
.....fulfill your obligation.
.....repeat what you heard.
.....go with the flow.
.....anticipate roadblocks.
.....aim for 'good enough'.
OR
You can:
.....organize a community.
.....take a risk.
.....set ambitious goals.
.....give more than you take.
.....change perceptions.
.....forge a new path.
.....create possibility.
.....demand excellence.
Don't worry too much about getting things done.
Make things happen(instead)."

Indeed Ms Trapani.
If there is one resolution that we all should have on our list this year,it should be to make things happen in 2010.

* The decision - by 'yours truly' - to leave my 9-5 job with FNB as the year starts.This was not a decision taken lightly I must admit.
I am leaving to pursue a dream of doing motivational talks in township high schools,in assciation with corporate sponsors.
These motivational 'talks'- in the form of what we call Feel Good Workshops -are a continuation of the mission that I have already started with in this Feel Good Movement website.And that is to raise the positive energy levels in the country by highlighting the good and positive events happening in our lives.
The Feel Good Revolution is being taken on the road,ladies and gentlemen.
To FNB I would like to say:
"It has been a blast working here."
To my colleagues at The Glen branch I say:
"Thank you guys for your support.Thank you for giving me the
platform to practice my public speaking during our staff meetings."
To our customers:
" I am going to miss you all, ladies and gentlemen.
Ntate Moruti(Mthimkhulu),Nino,Mrs Jacobs,Mr and Mrs Cloete,Baba Nkosi et al.
Much,much love to you all."


THANK YOU UNIVERSE.THANK YOU FOR OUR 'FEEL GOOD MOMENTS."
