Food for thought

Just do not know where to begin so I thought I would like to share with u all something I wrote for my friends and colleagues a little poem just before i retired...

Dearest friends and colleagues

Be firm yet soft,like a french bread
Hard on the outside, soft on the inside
Learn how to feel what others feel
Focus on EMPATHY

Stop being rhetoric
Justice must not only seen or heard
Justice must be seen to be done
So focus on FAIRNESS




Do not just fold your hands
Or sit back tightlipped
Be PRINCIPLE CENTRED


Learn to speak up
Have COURAGE

Be consistent
Half truth is still a lie

Be honest
Because HONESTY is the best policy

Do not wait ato be told
Be different, make a difference
Have INITIATIVE
Be CREATIVE

Face criticism
Have OPTIMISM

Never give up
Have PERSERVERENCE

Have a big heart
Respect everyone including your enemy
It reflect high self esteem
Respect do not come with the chair
RESPECT got to be EARNED
As you go up do not forget to look down

Avoid threats
TEACH, not punish
Punish build up low self esteem
Teach, build up CONFIDENCE
To be a true leader
Buildup leaders, not one but many

Know the difference
Between the forest from the trees
Then you know the difference between
RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABALITY

Love yourself
Be comfortable with who you are
Look out for strength
Do not focus on weakness
Always SAFE FACE
To bring out the best in others

Be thorough, be PATIENT
Do not rush in your advise or decisions
Be WISE
Have WISDOM

Be GOD CENTRED
Check your intentions
Do not be afraid of the here
But be afraid of the hereafter
Remember there is heaven and he'll
Hold on to INTEGRITY

roses in bloom

Last but not least
Learn to APPRECIATE
Be Appreciative
A simple THANK YOU
Goes a long way

So thank you and thank you again...
