Photo of the Day: The tale of an entrepreneur

The travails of an entrepreneur

This is a portrayal of a typical entrepreneur in an part of the world. It is true that successful entrepreneurs are known for pursuing their strong visions and overcoming many obstacles on the way to achieving them. Many entrepreneurs face issues such as how to organise their succession planning in a suitable,
structured manner, while still allowing them to access their assets, thus enabling them to continue to pursue their entrepreneurial activities.

But a situation where government through its agencies are after you to pay various bills isn’t always an interesting thing to behold. In this picture, the entrepreneur is working while all those standing around him (labeled in the fashionable Nigerian tags) are waiting to collect their share.

All I can say is kudos to the successful entrepreneurs against the odds of these pests!

What’s your thought please?

As Muslims all over the world mark the end of the Ramadan fast with the Eid-el-Fitri today, I think it’s important to share this!

The man in this picture is purportedly crying over his inability to don the festive dressing on the day of eid. He had given the dress to his tailor who failed to meet up with the deadline. He is crying over the disappointment. If you were in his shoes, would you do the same?

If I were him, I wouldn’t be bothered by that. Afterall, there were many people that started the Ramadan but didn’t grace today. I would urge him to think of a family member or friend or member of the community he knew that died over the past year. Did they know that last year would be their last Ramadan and that they wouldn’t make it to this year’s Ramadan? What about those alive but had not means of buying the clothing?

Indeed, the month of Ramadan had taught us humility, perseverance, love, self-restraint among other virtues. Why not thank Allah for seeing you through this one! Did I hear you say ALHAMDULILLAH? Just be thankful in whatever condition you find yourself! Utilize every breath after Ramadan to keep living Ramadan.

Eid Mubarak!

Stop them whenever you see such happen elsewhere! It isn’t good a act. What if they get injured? What if the fence falls? Parents have to be watchful of where their wards go!

Take heed!

Thus, as originally intended, a person who went scot free was merely one who was free from the burden of paying a fine or tax, or, in a tavern, was under no obligation to pay a share of the score. Now, we use it when we mean “to be free of penalty, or exempt from punishment or injury.”

Funny Story

An old married couple were traveling by car. Being seniors, after almost eleven hours on the road, they were too tired to continue and decided to take a room at a hotel. But, they only planned to sleep for four hours and then get back on the road. When they checked out of the hotel four hours later, the desk clerk handed them a bill for $350. The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high. He told the clerk although it’s a nice hotel; the rooms certainly aren’t worth $350 for four hours. Then the clerk tells him that $350 is the ‘standard rate’. He insisted on speaking to the Manager.

The Manager appears, listens to him, and then explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre that were available for us to use. “But we didn’t use them,” the husband said.
“Well, they are here, and you could have,” explained the Manager. The Manager went on to explain that the couple could also have taken in one of the shows for which the hotel is famous. “We have the best entertainers from New York ,
Hollywood , and Las Vegas perform here,” the Manager says.
“But we didn’t go to any of those shows,” the husband said.
“Well, we have them, and you could have,” the Manager replied.
No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, the husband replied, “But we didn’t use it!”

The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the husband gave up and agreed to pay. As he didn’t have the check book, he asked his wife to write the check. She did and gave it to the Manager.
The Manager is surprised when he looks at the check. “But ma’am, this is made out for only $50.00.” “That’s correct. I charged you $300.00 for sleeping with me,” she replied. “But I didn’t!” exclaims the Manager.
“Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have.”

Ultimate Privacy – The House Built In The Middle Of A River

Have you ever dreamed of having a home in the middle of nowhere to escape to every now and then? I have. And this house built straight in the middle of the Drina River in Serbia fits the bill perfectly.

Standing on an exposed rock bang in the centre of the river, near the town of Bajina Basta, this tiny house has been getting a lot of attention on the internet ever since it was captured on camera last year by Hungarian photographer Irene Becker. Her photo was published by National Geographic as one of the best ‘Photos of the Day’ in August 2012, and ever since then the mysterious and tranquil abode of Drina River has captured the imagination of millions.

“I’m so glad that my picture makes this tiny house known to more and more people,” Becker said about her work. But in Serbia, the precariously placed house has been a popular tourist destination for decades, and a symbol of the picturesque Basta region. It was even nominated as one of the Seven Wonders of Serbia.

The house has been standing in its unusual location for over 40 years. According its owner, “this house was built in 1968. It was not easy to build then. But I finally made it happen with the help of my friends.” Back then they were just a bunch of young boys who loved to swim in the waters of Drina River and sunbathe on the large rock that now supports the house. Its lumpy surface wasn’t the most comfortable to sit on, so one day they decided to build a proper place to rest. They started bringing in planks from a nearby derelict shed, and before long they had actually built a cosy shelter complete with walls and a roof. It may not look very sturdy, but this wooden home has survived several floods and serious storms.

After all the recent online exposure, the house in the middle of Drina River has become a hot-spot for tourists wanting to see it with their own eyes. But if you can’t go to Serbia to visit the house, you can at least check out its Facebook album and blog.
