Education
 The most invaluable legacy any parent can give their child
 Education empowers, gives you competitive advantage and a
ray of hope.
 A dependable platform to fall back on when everything else
fails

Management

through various types of experiences from conflicts, cultural
diversity, successes and even failures.

knowledge and not practical / management expertise.

something different.

A SMALL
TRUTH TO
MAKE LIFE 100%
Hard Work
H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
Knowledge
K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
Love
L+O+V+E
12+15+22+5 = 54%
Luck
L+U+C+K
12+21+3+11 = 47%
( don't most of us think this is the most important ??? )
Then what makes 100% ?
Is it Money ? ... NO ! ! !
M+O+N+E+Y
13+15+14+5+25 = 72%
Leadership ? ... NO ! ! !
L+E+A+D+E+R+S+H+I+P
12+5+1+4+5+18+19+9+16 = 89%
Every problem has a solution,
only if we perhaps change our
attitude.
To go to the top,
to that 100%,
what we really need to go
further... a bit more...
So what then makes
100% ???
ATTITUDE
A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
It is OUR ATTITUDE towards
Life and Work that makes OUR
Life 100% ! ! !
Change Your Attitude …
And You Change Your Life ! ! !
Now that you know the answer…
WHAT WILL YOU DO ABOUT IT ?
THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS TO
GET YOUR TEAM TOGETHER
AND MAKE THAT CHANGE
Ladies & Gentlemen
