At 33 Mr. A joined a commercial bank as Senior Manager. One year after he joined, this bank became distressed. The staff and owners battled for two years to save the bank by themselves but failed. Finally the bank was acquired, recapitalised and reorganised by a group of investors. The new investors asked all existing staff to resign and reapply; this they did including this senior manager. Upon reapplication and following series of interviews, Mr. A was given an offer of a Deputy manager in the restructured bank: a position with lower pay, and with withdrawal of some entitlements as car and driver. To make matters more difficult one of the new management staff, who will now be 5 grades above Mr A. was actually 5 levels below him only 2 years earlier The gentle man has options with better pay in non banking. He must now decideAs Mr. A, what will you do and why?

CHALLENGES IN LIFECHALLENGES IN LIFE

In life we are faced with three Challenges:

OpportunitiesProblemsDilemmas

Opportunities are those situations which have the

capacity to directly support the realisation of our desires. They

should be identified and used profitably

Dilemmas are those situations which are neither problems

nor opportunities. We should live with them until they

become either opportunities or problems

Problems are situations which

appear as obstacles between us and our desired goals and should be solved. They give us the

opportunity to learn and grow.

“AS A MAN THINKETH

IN HIS HEART, SO

HE IS”

Your Mindsets, Your Mental Conditioning, Your

Predispositions to Act and React in Predetermined Ways to People,

Places, Events and Situations Create Your World and Your

Destiny

ATTITUDES

We cannot change the past; we cannot

change the inevitable; we cannot change the fact that people will act in certain ways

LIFE IS 15% WHAT HAPPENS TO US AND 85% HOW WE REACT TO IT

We can change our attitudes

THE CAN DO ATTITUDE

You CAN DO everything, but not all at once.

You CAN DO everything, if it’s important enough for you to do.

You CAN DO everything, but you may not be the best at everything.

You CAN DO everything, but there will be limitations.

You CAN DO everything, but you’ll need help.
