During a robbery in a bank, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank: "Don't move, The money belongs to the State, Your life belongs to you. "Everyone in the bank lay down quietly. This is called "Mind Changing Concept” Changing the conventional way of thinking. When a lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her: "Please be civilised! This is a robbery and not a rape!"This is called "Being Professional” Focus only on what you are trained to do! When the bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA- trained) told the older robber (who has only completed Year 6 inprimary school): "Big bros, let's count how much we got."The older robber rebutted and said: "You are very stupid. There is so much money, it will take us a long time to count Tonight, the TV news will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!"This is called "Experience.” Nowadays, experience is more important than paper qualifications!After the robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly But the supervisor said to him: "Wait! Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves and add it to the $70 million that we have previously embezzled from the bank”. This is called "Swim with the tide.” Converting an unfavourable situation to your advantage! The supervisor says: "It will be good if there is a robbery every month. This is called "Killing Boredom.” Personal Happiness is more important than your job. The next day, the TV news reported that $100 million was taken from the bank. The robbers counted, counted and counted, but they could only count $20 million. The robbers were very angry and complained: "We risked our lives and only took $20million. The bank manager took $80 million with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated than to be a thief!"This is called "Knowledge is worth as muchas gold! "The bank manager was smiling and happy because his losses in the share market are now covered by this robbery. This is called "Seizing the opportunity.”
By Strive Masiyiwa A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London. After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...
