Success is yours!!
The other day; I was at my colleague’s office; we had a small business meeting that was extended to a couple of hours. Some people do have this quality about them; they are friendly and open in a way that makes you want to talk to them more and listen to what they have to say about anything; this was one of these very rare cases.
This lady has so much positive energy around her; she meets you with her nice smile and charming character. It is true that Charisma is something that cannot be learned; either you have it or you don’t, and she did have that alright.
I looked around in her office and I saw a lot of inspiring quotes here and there; she even has a small acquarium that has 3 golden fish sharing the water and space. One of the things that really captured my attention is the list of advice she had hanging on her wall. They were titled; Success is yours!
Each one of these sentences can be taken as a separate topic; some valuable words that deserve to be shared with you like I am doing herr; you might have heard or read them before, so consider this a reminder

Morning Khalidah,
every time i write your name I should be careful with the spelling “the h” is it with “h” or not,
Thanks for sharing the widsom behind, and more important the positive behavior of you colleague.
But still I have one question, did you take a paper and sat in your colleague’s office and wrote it down?
or you did you memorized them while you were talking to her?
God bless ya (not Australian accent is my defualt one),

Avoid working just for power or money
then what should I work for, if I forgot the money part of the deal, it would be the power, the power of doing everthing just perfect
