2014 OBJECTIVES
Nothing worthwhile comes in life unless first of all you GIVE. Sometimes we can
GIVE a fair bit and still fall at a stumbling block. The ONLY way to succeed after
encountering stumbling blocks is to stick together, get over any perceived or real hurts
and GO AGAIN – TOGETHER until we do succeed. Success is only as close to us as
to how hard you are prepared to work again. So let us all get tough with each other
GIVE EVEN MORE and do the work as a committed group.
2014 Motto:
“PLAY YOUR ROLE”
“BE PART OF THE SOLUTION, NOT THE PROBLEM”
