There was a clear understanding of what they contributed to the development of the organisation and over the years they forged something so powerful that anyone joining the organisation […]
Read More Upheld By The PillarsWhen you have to give up something you value and I have to give up something I value so that we can get along on something together, apparently that’s a compromise. The key in the compromise is that something valued has to be sacrificed. Follow my thinking. Among the great things we value is love. […]
Read More A Few Questions On CompromiseYou ever played foot-golf? I didn’t even know there was such a sport until about a year or so ago. A couple who are also friends of ours had actually gone and enjoyed the activity. So recently my wife and I joined them in having a go at the leisure activity. I don’t boast about […]
