Finding himself cured, one of them turned back praising God at the top of his voice and threw himself at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. The man was a Samaritan. This made Jesus say, ‘Were not all ten made clean? The other nine, where are they? It seems that no one has come back to give praise to God, except this foreigner.’ And he said to the man, ‘Stand up and go on your way. Your faith has saved you.’ Luke 17:11-19 After years of looking for a job, you finally get one. What do you do on your first day of reporting for work? From a business advisory perspective, we…
From WhatApp: Tears in my eyes as I read this
A very poor newly wedded, the young couple lived on a small farm. One day the husband made the following proposal to his wife: Honey, I will leave the house: I will travel faraway, get a job and work hard in order to come back and give you a comfortable life that you deserve.

‘The apostles said to the Lord, ‘Increase our faith.’ The Lord replied, ‘Were your faith the size of a mustard seed you could say to this mulberry tree, “Be uprooted and planted in the sea,” and it would obey you.”’ Luke 17:5 What does positive thinking mean to you? Life is like a road. It is full of bumps, corners, steep slopes, traffic jams, and potholes.

Hit the iron while it is still hot
It is not easy to hit an iron after it has cooled down. This common knowledge is critical when it comes to marketing and sales. Any sale is a result of hard work.
