HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

Reflecting on 2024 and looking forward to 2025, I thought of this Bill Keane quote:

Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. 

That's why it's called the present. 

Happy New Year dancing babies.



AN ABBA HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

I did not know that ABBA had a Happy New Year song and here it is for your listening pleasure.

Happy New Year, happy New Year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy New Year, happy New Year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't, we might as well lay down and die
You and I

CHRISTMAS WITH THE CHOSEN

 

Here is a Christmas special of The Chosen's Holy Night with stories and songs; the One Voice Children's Choir at 11:05 is simply amazing. 

You can watch all episodes of The Chosen for free by simply downloading the app on Google Play or The App Store.

Wishing you all a Blessed New Year.



THE HERO'S JOURNEY

 

We all love heroes - just look at the cinematic success of the Marvel comic franchise or Star Trek or Star Wars modeled after Joseph Campbell's The Hero's Journey, a formula exemplified by Jesus of Nazareth, the greatest hero of all.

The inspired writing of the Bible spans over 1,500 years by 40 authors.

There are 66 books in the Bible and it is the most historically accurate of all ancient manuscripts



THE MOST VALUABLE BRAND IN THE WORLD

 

What do you think is the most valuable consumer packaged brand in the world today?

It's not what you think ... not Amazon, Apple, Google, McDonald's, Nike, or Walmart.

This 9-minute video presentation by Jay Kiew, Board Director for the Project Management Institute Canadian West Coast Chapter, artfully describes the global powerhouse brand that we all know and love. 

A Walmart store has between 120,000 to 142,000 different items, where this company limits their inventory to around 3000+ items. 

How this company mastered capitalism without being greedy.
