Achievement

You do things you hate - you do things you love, you do things that is requested of you ........

Despite all > sometimes something comes along > totally unexpected, and without realising how much you would enjoy it, you become the top award winner of hard work, commitment, extended hours of studying and cutting back on your social life.

The day before my graduation, i received a call from the IOB (Institute of Bankers) informing me that I've been selected as the top perfomer of the program, I was requested to prepare a speech for the occasion.

Totally out of my depth, I was thrown into speechwriting and the 'fear' of delivering a speech in a room full of people, delegates of the program, IOB and Bankseta executives, management and facilitators.

My dear brother in law - Errol, thank you for the speech tips and my exceptional 'ice breaker' - I had the entire crowd in stitches ........ they moment they laughed, I relaxed and my speech was smooth ................

To all my delegates in the program ......... this award goes to you, we have all worked very hard, put in a lot of hours on top of normal working hours.
May you all become top achievers in your different fields .............
