Dear ICT in Business Knowledge Seekers,
You might be glad to notice that all the course academic procedures are almost done up and the course is about to complete. Any problem you fall in, don't hesitate to contact me.
At the end of the semester, I am using these quotes as advice for you:
o Small steps in the right direction can turn out to be the biggest step of your life
o If you are facing in the right direction all you need to do is keep on walking
o Imagine with all your mind, believe with all your heart, achieve with all your might
o Never give up because great things take time
o Life's greatest difficulties always happen right before life's greatest breakthroughs
o When life is difficult and when everything turns bad, always remember that " even a turtle can finish the race as long as it never gives up"
o Don't wait for opportunity, Create it
o When God pushes you to the edge of difficulty trust him fully because two things can happen either He'll catch you when you fall, or He will teach you how to fly.
o Attitude is everything. New day, new strength, new thoughts
o A positive attitude changes everything
o Life doesn't require that we be the best, only that we try our best
o It's a universal law—we have to give before we get
o The person who sows seeds of kindness will have a perpetual harvest
o Your own soul is nourished when you are kind; it is destroyed when you are cruel
o Remember, what you give will bring you more pleasure than what you get
o God is a giver. So be like Him and do good to everyone
o Be quick to give because when you give right away, it's like giving twice
o Giving can become a good habit
o The man who will use his skill and constructive imagination to see how much he can give for a dollar instead of how little he can give for a dollar is bound to succeed
All the Best!!!
