A Valid Query To Banks
Dear Sirs,
In view of what seems to be happening internationally with banks at the moment, I was wondering if you could advise me correctly…
If one of my cheques is returned marked ‘insufficient funds,’
how do I know whether that refers to me, or to you?

Do you know anyone that admits to liking company politics? Really? I don’t know any.Company politics exist usually because of one reason. That is that career (or agenda) advancement is achieved by means other than via merit or contribution. Essentially people get rewarded even when they don’t deserve it or don’t get rewarded when they do deserve it.
It’s time to stop being afraid of failure and start embracing it. Some of us have founded, worked for or invested in startups that have failed. We’re smart, we keep up with the latest in technology trends, but sometimes things just don’t go as planned. How can you predict what will work and what won’t?

Looking Outside The Window
A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next morning while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside. “That laundry is not very clean”, she said. “She doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap.”
Her husband looked on, but remained silent.
Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: “Look, she has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this.”
The husband said, “I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows.”
And so it is with life. What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.
