HardWork Pays 2018/2019

A MUST READ BY EVERYONE
Ezra and Thomas joined a company together a few months after their graduation from university.
After a few years of work, their Manager promoted Ezra to a position of Senior Sales Manager, but Thomas remained in his entry level Junior Sales Officer position. Thomas developed a sense of jealousy and disgruntlement, but continued working anyway.

One day Thomas felt that he could not work with Ezra anymore. He wrote his resignation letter, but before he submitted it to the Manager, he complained that Management did not value hard working staff, but promoted only the favoured!

The Manager knew that Ezra worked very hard for the years he had spent at the company; even harder than Thomas and therefore he deserved the promotion. So in order to help Thomas to realize this, the Manager gave Thomas a task.

“Go and find out if anyone is selling water melons in town?”
Thomas returned and said, "yes there is someone!"
The Manager asked, "how much per kg?" Thomas drove back to town to ask and then returned to inform the Manager; "they are $13.50 per kg!"
The Manager told Thomas, "I will give Ezra the same task that I gave you. Please pay close attention to his response!"
So the Manager said to Ezra, in the presence of Thomas; “Go and find out if anyone is selling water melons in town?”

Ezra went to find out and on his return he said:
"Manager, there is only one person selling water melons in the whole town. The cost is $49.00 each water melon and $32,50 for a half melon. He sells them at $13.50 per kg when sliced. He has in his stock 93 melons, each one weighing about 7kg. He has a farm and can supply us with melons for the next 4 months at a rate of 102 melons per day at $27.00 per melon; this includes delivery.
The melons appear fresh and red with good quality, and they taste better than the ones we sold last year.

He has his own slicing machine and is willing to slice for us free of charge.
We need to strike a deal with him before 10am tomorrow and we will be sure of beating last year's profits in melons by $223, 000.00. This will contribute positively to our overall performance as it will add a minimum of 3.78% to our current overall sales target.

I have put this information down in writing and is available on spreadsheet. Please let me know if you need it as I can send it to you in fifteen minutes."
Thomas was very impressed and realized the difference between himself and Ezra. He decided not to resign but to learn from Ezra.

As we begin this fresh year, let this story help us keep in mind the importance of going an extra mile in all our endeavors.

You won't be rewarded for doing what you're meant to do, you only get a salary for that! You're only ​rewarded​ for going an extra mile; performing beyond expectations.
To be successful in life you must be observant, proactive and willing to do more, think more, have a more holistic perspective and go beyond the call of duty.

May you be blessed with a better perspective to your work and/or business in 2018....

TIPS FOR SELF DEVELOPMENT IN 2018/2019



*1. Make friends with successful people and occasionally buy them gifts and surprise them with lunch because successful people always give and hardly get, so when you give them, they value the gift a lot*.

*2. Get a mentor and follow his instructions and respect the relationship. Never beg your mentor for money or disrespect his or her privacy.*

*3. Make new positive friends as often as possible and ensure you keep the communication line open. Create a network of friends and not just connections.*

*5. Show kindness to everyone. Some small boys today will be big boys tomorrow. The biggest dog in the neighbourhood was once a puppy. Keep the information/secret to yourself.*

*6. Always plan ahead and be proactive. He that plans the future works less in the future.*

*7. Listen to speeches and messages from great teachers, both religious and educational.*

*8. Attend seminars and trainings on any area you need to improve yourself - Train the trainer, personal development, public speaking, sales etc.*

*9. Have the habit of keeping a pen and a writing pad handy because ideas come in the form of flashes. The smallest pen is bigger and better than the biggest brain.*

*10. Make sure at every point in time you are reading a book. If you spend 20 minutes reading daily, for 52 weeks you would have consumed 1,000,000 words.*

*11.Stay away from television as much as possible. You can watch educational channels. Men with big TV sit in front of them to watch men with big libraries.*

*12 Put control over your mouth; never say evil of any man; what you are not certain of should not be said. Say good of all men.*

*13. Always show appreciation for any good deed you received.*

*14. Always help someone in need.*

*15. Live a debt free life. What you can’t pay cash for is not your size.*

*16. Give out loans that you can part with as gift, so that you don’t destroy your business and relationship.*

*17. Create legitimate multiple sources of income.*

*18. Save at least 10 percent of your income.*

*19. Invest a portion of your income, and be patient to see it grow. If what you have in your hands is not good to be called a harvest then it’s a seed; sow it.*

*20. Keep a good financial record of all income and expenses, so you won’t ask later “where did my money go”*

*21. Be involved in community services, Control traffic, free lesson class for students etc.*

*22. Keep getting better on your daily goals and dream, develop yourself on them and make sure you get to the top 10 % of your industry.*

*23. Make sure you engage in physical exercise. It keeps your brain alert and your body fit to enjoy your success.*

*24. Pray often, and know that for every success, God made it possible.*
*Wishing you the very best in life. Practice what you just read, and see the difference your life would record.*

SEVEN Excellence RULES



Excellence is the quality of being outstanding or extremely good. It is a quality that everyone must always strife for. Either you are an organization or an individual, EXCELLENCE is a driving force to achieve great height.

Any organization must continue in the line of excellence, it must espouse values that will help to establish excellence at all levels. Parts of these values of excellence include:

Sacrifice: No Individual or organization can promote a culture of excellence without making sacrifices. These sacrifices may be financial or otherwise, but one thing is however sure; without sacrifice, excellence becomes very hard to attain. The goals set towards achieving excellence cannot magically manifest. This makes hard work and drastic sacrifices very important in the journey of excellence.

Customer-centric Approach: When it is said that the customer is King, complete sense is made. This leads us to the question of why organizations are established; to please the customer. Any organization that is pursuing excellence must always seek to satisfy the needs of its customers, albeit cost effectively. Excellence begins with satisfied customers.

Team-Work: There is one thing that every organization which is pursuing excellence must know; it is that every member of the organization is important and nothing can be achieved without team work. No person (and by extension organization) can achieve and sustain excellence alone. Excellence is a function of team-work. It is imperative for team members to know that their contributions are valued.

Integrity: Excellence achieved through dubious means is not only unsustainable; it is not excellence at all. Integrity is the bedrock of any excellent organization. It refers to how we achieve our goals, aims and objectives. This is very important because we cannot maintain an excellent organization if integrity is not a common value that is shared by all and sundry within the organization.

Change/Innovation: While these words have been largely abused in the everyday use, we are persuaded to believe that no organization can achieve excellence today with the ideas, processes and technologies of yesterday. To achieve excellence, any organization must be willing to continuously reinvent itself, breakaway from the norm and break new grounds. Complacency is the enemy of excellence.

Capacity Building: Any organization in pursuit of excellence must understand that its strength is equal to the strength of its people. To this end, it becomes imperative for every organization to invest in building its people through capacity building initiatives. Until this is done, excellence will only be a dream.

Responsibility: The hallmark of an excellent organization lies in its ability to take control of its undertakings. An excellent organization should fully take ownership of its undertakings and also take responsibility for its successes and failures.

Inconlusion, in whatsoever you do, always bear it in mind that without excellence, achieving greatness becomes difficult.
