Advice To Event Organisers

When organising a public event, such as a conference, make sure that you have sufficient funds to pay the suppliers/caterers etc.

Footprints

A footprint doesn't look anything like a boot.

Weakness

A weak man will always take extreme actions to prove himself.

Leaving Things To The Last Minute

Do not leave things to the last minute.

Inevitably you will not have time to deal with them properly, and it is unfair on those around you who you end up asking to help you out.

Missed Deadlines

Unforgiveable!

Unprofessional!

Unacceptable!

Playing The Victim

Some groups wallow in the succor and comfort of playing the victim.

They should stop this, and earn people's respect by standing up for themselves rather than relying on others to do it for them.

Fights

It is inadvisable to get involved in a fight with someone who has nothing to lose.

Barefoot

The man who walks barefoot should have no fear of the man wearing shoes.

Who is to say that the man wearing shoes does not find them restrictive and uncomfortable?

Making an Offer

When negotiating the purchase of an item, irrespective of your price limit, it is important to have the money to hand to fund the transaction.

Failure to complete on a deal makes you look unreliable and dishonest.

Competition

The only person that you should compete against is yourself.

Dull

One can never be dull in one's own company.

Wisdom

Wisdom is never gained by one bite of the apple. The entire orchard must be harvested first, before wisdom can be truly achieved.

Challenging Deadlines

Businesses stand a better chance of success when management and staff are set challenging deadlines and tasks, which push them to find the best within themselves.

Walls

When a wall obstructs your progress, if you can't go around it then knock it down.

Do not let things get in your way.

Food

It's not the food that you eat that is bad for you, but the variety and quantity.

The Fiery Pit

Into the fiery pit of despair let us plunge our hands, and draw forth a
nugget of gold forged in the crucible of flames.

Bold Gestures

Bold gestures can give history a nudge.

Life

Is there a cure for life?

Shouting

Those who shout the loudest may find that their message is obscured, and maybe even not heard, because of the noise that they are making.

People Management

Managing people without their knowing that you are managing them is a very valuable, and rare, skill.

Leadership

A good leader never shies away from tough decisions.
