Ending Monday on a happy note.

GO PLACIDLY AMID THE NOISE AND THE HASTE, AND REMEMBER WHAT PEACE THERE MAY BE IN SILENCE.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and ignorant; they, too, have their story.Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater or lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in you own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you for what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals and everywhere live is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the council of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.

Strive to be happy.

The "Pursuit of Hapiness": A myth.
Happiness is something we conciously choose and create for ourselves not something we find. Have a watch, this is a mind set changer!

https://www.ted.com/talks/dan_gilbert_asks_why_are_we_happy

Dan Gilbert, author of "Stumbling on Happiness," challenges the idea that we’ll be miserable if we don’t get what we want. Our "psychological immune system" lets us feel truly happy even when things don’t go as planned.

We know our clients are going into the busiest time of the year so we thought sharing this image was a good idea. It makes us think about how much energy and time we're spending on certain tasks. Remember time management should not be merely a system or way of doings things but also a mind-set. Essentialism is about "getting the right things done" thus relieving ourselves from stress and increasing our effectiveness. Thats your thought for the day. Have a GREAT one!

Mick and Chris McCormick of Mick McCormick Training are pleased to announce that we have made some major changes to our business.
Mick McCormick Training has been going through an evolutionary process over the last 2 to 3 years for a number of reasons. There have been some major changes in the training industry and more importantly the requirements of our clients have both expanded and diversified on an immense scale. We, as a team and organisation, have made a commitment to not only evolve with the times but to develop an inventive, client centric solution that we are extremely excited about, and believe you will be too.
Due to the restructuring of our business model we have made the difficult decision to start a new entity all together. As you know, over the past 28 years Mick McCormick Training has become one of South Africa’s most trusted and respected skills development and training companies and has developed an exceptional reputation in the market place. We will be continuing to build on the McCormick brand and now that the necessaries have been finalized we are proud to announce that we will be operating as the new entity the “McCormick Institute of Training” as of the 1st August 2015.
As mentioned above the “McCormick Institute of Training” will be delivering and implementing an innovative solution for our clients. Our core focus areas remain Leadership, Sales Leadership, Sales Consultant and Customer Experience Development Programs, all of which have been refreshed and redesigned from a content and structural perspective. We have diversified our solution by mindfully partnering with a group of highly reputable and likeminded organisations, all of whom have opened areas of opportunity for our clients in a number of areas.
We have been working on building this solution for quite some time and we’re delighted to finally introduce it to the market. The value we are now in a position to create for you and your organisation is exponential.
We would like to ensure you that there have and will be no changes to our personnel and our clients will continue to receive the same high quality level of service you have come to expect from everyone you normally deal with.
We would like to thank you for your continued support and look forward to introducing the McCormick Institute of Training to you during the rest of 2015. Should you have any queries or questions please do not hesitate to contact us immediately.
