WHEN IT'S BROUGHT DOWN TO BELIEF - VICTORY IS INEVITABLE There is a principle that has held true and unfailing for all who have understood, embraced and applied it - If think you can you will, if you think you can't you won't. I'm sitting here thinking and looking at recent events in the world of football, one just has to love the good and right fitting analogy modern sport makes to illustrate principles of successful existence. Antonio Conte, the man in charge of Chelsea FC is passionate about his job one can just tell by watching the man as he deals with his charges from the touch-line and his responsiveness to all things football especially towards his team, however despite his known capabilities as far as Chelsea football club is concerned he had been operating in the shadow of his predecessor, the great Jose Mourinho, the special one. Numbers always tell and they don't lie so they have told again. Indeed Mou is a legend and towering giant in his own ri...

WHO'S POINTING OUT YOUR BLINDSPOTS? - THERE ARE SIDES TO THIS THING A blindspot literally is an area where one's view is obstructed and figuratively it is an area where one lacks full understanding or impartiality. Whichever way one looks at it the essence of the blindspot is that our full and clear view is obstructed somehow making it a matter of concern. A blindspot is like the proverbial Achilles heel, a point of weakness and vulnerability which may result in disaster if discovered and exploited by an opponent. The invincible Achilles son of Peleus and Thetis, hero of the Trojan war, though having killed the mighty hector was wounded on the heel and died after being  shot by Paris, his body had been made invulnerable by his mother who plunged him in the Styx in his infancy except for the heel by which she had held him. The Styx is a river in the underworld of Greek mythology. The lesson is not about the Greek mythology underworld things but just to draw a good  examp...

WHAT HOSTILITY IS THIS?? CRY THE BELOVED MOTHERLAND - PUTTING XENOPHOBIA INTO PERSPECTIVE We are no longer hunters and gatherers as our forebears were, they  used to live on what they killed and gathered and life would go on for them in that order, each man had to "hustle" for his own and literally bring the meat home. There was no economics as we know it today and killing a leopard or lion for its skin was not a crime, it was the order of life then. Then came civilisation and innovation which brought with it formalised society and technological advancement which facilitated faster and easier movement of people and goods - enter commerce and economics. With people moving from far apart locations even beyond the seas and oceans it became necessary to monitor and regulate such movement. No longer do people have to literally hunt and gather for sustenance, we now have industry and commerce. As industry and commerce developed so did an economic phenomenon called ENTREPRENE...

WHEN THE BALL DROPS - WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM THE CORPORATES In 2017 we have already witnessed mess ups and mix ups at giant corporate level.  Earlier this year there was huge furore following revelations of potentially fatal defects on the compact SUV Ford Kuga, a headline by the Sunday Times in South Africa read " Angry Kuga owners get bad news as PR disaster escalates." This followed what could be described as denial on the manufacturer's part in the initial stages as the disaster unfolded. Eventually the manufacturer acknowledged the faultiness and a massive recall would follow. Just this past week there was a widely reported mix up at the Academy Awards ceremony for best picture by PricewaterhouseCoopers popularly known as PwC. La la land was mistakenly announced as the winner and then the correct winner Moonlight was subsequently announced. "What a blunder!"one may say,  "by such a reputable organisation at that" The fact is it happene...
