This is the only time we will see this.
Calendar for July 2011
This year July has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens once every 823 years. This is called money bags.
This year we're going to experience four unusual dates
1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11. 11/11/11 and that's not all.....
Take the last two digits of the year in which you were born - now add the age you will be this year. Amazing but true.

Tomorrow In Head
The name Leonardo Da Vinci would swiftly have us visualize the masterpiece oil paintings of Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, amongst others. But Da Vinci's legacy was more than Mona Lisa. He spent more time sketching engineering imventions than he did paintings. He thought of these inventions even before there were materials available to bulding them and never in his mind that his inventions would be a reality some day. Da Vinci woke up with tomorrow in his head, it made him great as a result.
Da Vinci used the right and left brains and to capitalize on them. The right brain uses creativity and the left brain uses logic thinking. Most of us uses either the right or the left brain and left the other untapped. When we are able to use two brains, we may be able to wake up with tomorrow in our head. Think again.

When people leave
When good staff leave may be due to following attributes:
Environment factors
If bosses do not generate a good corporate culture, the staff will lose their motivation. A career will become `just a job'. What drives people away? A department in which the staff is not nurtured, a company where boses are indifferent to the needs of the staff or a place no one practises basic courtesies.
Lack of succession planning
If an organisation does not have one in place, the message you give your staff is `we do not have a career path for you'.
Standards and procedures in the office
If there is favouritism and the boss' decisions smack of discrimination, if people abuse the system and no one cares, then good people leave.
Nature of job
Clever executives want challenges that drive them towards excellence. One little flaw in their character is that they get bored easily. That is why bosses need to consider how they can get the best from their staff. When you expect your staff to do the same job year in and year out, with no `escape clause', they will leave no matter what you pay. Remember the market will bear the cost of excellence.
