give their childEducation empowers, gives you

competitive advantage and a ray of hope.A dependable platform to fall back on when

THE IDEA

Youths…how do we start?Think like a ‘mad’ man

Inspirational QuotesWhat always made me different was my

ability to ask the most child like questions. Einstein

For an Idea which at first does not seem absurd, there is no hope. Einstein

Let me task your brain cells

What is this?…

Rubbish (Street cleaner)

Compost (Gardener)

A leaf (Joe Public)

A meal (Insect)

A Still life (Photographer)

A cell system (Biologist)

National symbol (Canadian)

Adam’s loin-cloth (Eve)

In otherwords, thinking like a ‘mad’ man is really about the

process of looking at the same thing as everyone else BUT

thinking 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%

KnowledgeK+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E

11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

LoveL+O+V+E

12+15+22+5 = 54%

LuckL+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+Y13+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…

THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS TO GET YOUR TEAM

TOGETHER AND MAKE THAT CHANGE

 

WHAT WILL YOU DO ABOUT IT ?
