Anne Stander HARD WORK IS NOT ENOUGH

One of the richest men in the world is teaching a very simple concept: What the rich people do on Payday. They acquire assets. Why do you run a business? If your business is a liability, you have fallen prey to the concept that you have to work your butt off just to survive. Of course you need to put time and effort into your company but the moment the work you put in, outweighs the result you get the business is not working. With blind faith and free will as tools, along with your business sk… Continue

Jehan A ship’s crew:

The number of crew members on a ship varies and depends on the type of the ship, the size and depends on how frequent it calls ports. All ships should have a minimum number of crew which is stated in the “Minimum manning certificate” for that particular ship. This doesn’t mean that a ship should have only minimum men. Most ship’s have more crew than the certificate. On ships I’ve sailed had 20-24 crew members. They were 1700TEU container ships and Panamax bulk carriers. In general, a cargo ship’… Continue

The art of losing isn't hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster. Lose something every day. Accept the fluster of lost door keys, the hour badly spent. The art of losing isn't hard to master. Then practice losing farther, losing faster: places, and names, and where it was you meant to travel. None of these will bring disaster. I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or next-to-last, of three loved houses went. The art of losing… Continue
