Jamaicans overseas urged to invest in country
Published: Saturday | May 23, 2009
Jamaicans overseas are being urged to invest in their country to help the island weather the current financial hurricane sweeping the globe.
Speaking at the 2009 Jamaica National Building Society’s (JNBS) Outlook for The Future series in London and Birmingham, Jamaican officials said the island was ripe with investment opportunities and needed home-grown investors to capitalise on them.
“It’s an investment paradise as well as a tourism paradise,” said Laurence Jones, regional head of the European arm of the Jamaica Trade Investment (JTI). He told scores of Jamaicans and their descendants, who came out to the Royal Geographical Society in London, that “this is the time we need you to show your commitment to Jamaica”.

After 60 years, dedicated worker receives Medal of Appreciation
Published: Saturday | May 23, 2009
.
After over 60 years of ardent and dedicated service to both primary and adult education in Jamaica, 87-year-old Yolande Jackson still finds time to teach.
Although Jackson said goodbye to the classroom many years ago, she has not been able to turn her back on the numerous students who still look to her for knowledge.
She admits that having been the child of two educators and the widow of a vice-principal, teaching was undoubtedly in her blood.
“They always find me and I can’t say no, I still assist them,” she said. “Parents will often come to me and ask me to help their children in certain areas and I will have classes with them at my home,” she told The Gleaner.

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.
…
Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements and to store his few possessions.
…
But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky.
…
The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. “God, how could you do this to me!” he cried.

Wishing You & Yours a Blessed, Safe and Happy Thanksgiving this Season.

As you may have noticed, things are Changing and not necessarily for the Better at present. It may be a while before things get better. As it is written, when we ignore the lessons of history/past, we are likely to repeat it, as we have.
..
For those who choose to do so, please Pray, or continue to Pray for a quick economic recovery for our Nation, especially those without jobs. As soon some will eventually use crime as a means to an end to survive during hard times. I Pray you and yours be Covered by God’s hand.
..
Let Us pray for the OFFICE of the Presidency, as it is the OFFICE that encompasses all the decision makers who will help the President to choose. Let Us Pray that choice will be in the Best Interest of the Country.

Stronger Than You Know
Getting Ourselves Worked Up
Our capacity to cope successfully with life’s challenges far outstrips our capacity to feel nervousness. Yet in the weeks, days, and hours leading up to an event that we believe will test our limits, we can become nervous. While we may have previously regarded ourselves as equal to the trials that lie ahead, we reach a point at which they near and our anxiety begins to mount. We then become increasingly worked up, until the moment of truth arrives and we discover that our worry was all for nothing. We are almost always stronger and more capable than we believe ourselves to be. But anxiety is not rational in nature, which means that in most cases we cannot work through it using logic as our only tool. Reason can help us recognize the relative futility of unwarranted worry but, more often than not, we will find more comfort in patterns of thought and activity that redirect our attention to practical or engaging matters.
