In Case of Emergency

In the world we live in, it has become customary to complain about your life. Well, that is what it would seem to be, to any intelligent race that lands on the planet. Just open your ears and listen to the people around you. It’s hard to find anyone upbeat about anything anymore and should you be upbeat, then they lay the beat down on you. For as sure as tomorrow will come, they will have a stupendous amount of reasons why you shouldn’t be happy.
Now, I ask you: “Why the hell not?” Why shouldn’t you be happy? Ignore the stress and worries for the day, because you can always worry tomorrow. If tomorrow doesn’t come, then at least you didn’t waste your today on worrying about something that would not come. I know I am a worry wart. It seems to be expected. At work, everyone passes their worries on to you, then seem surprised when you just listen, nod wisely, and carry on. Why take on someone else’ burdens when you have so many of your own to carry.
Grab your coat. Grab your hat. Leave your worries at the doorstep. Direct your feet to the sunny side of the street.
Put up a sign: “How may I ignore you today?”
And slow the hell down. Life may not have a speed limit, but you sure as hell cannot smell the roses when you are living your life at a man-month an hour.

Jacob Zuma and the Finance Minister

Working in a bank has it's ups and downs.  You get used to that. Then you work in a bank in South Africa and you realize that the downs can bee a 18% free fall on the value of your bank. We have been working diligently to grow our bank and by some amazing grace from God we have managed to get some pretty amazing things done.  Then the populist president, inserted by the revolutionist party goes and does the unthinkable. He replaces the minister of finance, at a whim. Yes, he explained it. But only after he got his ass held over the fire and them some lame excuse of deploying Mr Nene in another position. Which Mr President, doesn't explain the nobody, without a track record you shoved into his position. The ANC must recall Mr Zuma, like they demonstrated they  can and will do with Mr Mbeki and replace him. Why wait. To see if he can destroy the country further? Yes, JZ. Your King is not impressed with your actions.  Business Day Live - Stuart Theobald...
