The ANZAC spirit.

ANZAC Day - 25 April - is probably Australia's most important national occasion. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers in those forces quickly became known as ANZACs, and the pride they soon took in that name endures to this day.

It is a time to reflect on the sacrifice of those who unselfishly gave - sometimes of their very lives in wartime, so that Australia and it's allied nations could continue to experience the freedom that they do today.
The ANZAC legend is one of courage, character, selflessness, loyalty and community.
Over the years the ANZAC story has grown to include those who served in the second world war and following military operations.

To have the "ANZAC spirit" means to be Australian - it's an attitude that puts the greater good before serving self.

Regardless of your nationality, I think we all need a bit of "ANZAC attitude" in our hearts.

Keeping a positive attitude and what can you learn today?

The last couple of weeks has been incredibly busy hence the absence of posts, however things are back on track.
One thing I must make mention of is the value of surrounding yourself with people who can assist you in difficult times and help you to maintain a positive attitude.
I'm grateful to have joined a company with excellent support and team leaders who are willing to take the time to help their team members (even if it means them making a phonecall from the other side of the world).
Not quitting is the first ingredient of success.
In my previous post I mentioned I had lost a customer, however unknown to me they renewed their account and were once again active (I had not lost out as I had previously thought).
A good lesson in sticking with it.
Today I also wanted to mention the value of seeing a successful business run.
In my current day job I work in the electronics industry for a small company that has won business awards and is continuing to grow.
(In fact where I live the economic growth rate is higher than any other state in Australia and higher than China which is booming).
I make it a point to observe successful people and companies as a whole to glean as much information as possible that I know will help me and others in the future.
It's well worth keeping your eyes and ears open so you can pick up gems of helpful information.
