The African Cup of Nations has just ended in Ghana. The football fiesta, described as one of the best ever to be organised in the history of the tournament, dished out good treats of soccer to the thousands of fans who travelled from all over the world to Ghana.

Congratulations to Ghana for putting together such a marvellous tournament and bravo to the Ghana Black stars for their heroic performance!

I am truly proud to be Ghanaian!

QUOTES FOR THE WEEKEND

2007-11-16T08:07:00.000-08:00

Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.

Make all your friends feel there is something in them. Look at the sunny side of everything.
Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Be as enthusiastic about success of others as you are about your own.

Forget the mistakes of the past and press on the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others.

Be too big for worry and too noble for anger.

Christian D Larsen
Editor: Definitely on of my favorite!

BACK TO LIFE

Hello folks,

Sorry i have not added on to this blog in a long while. It was due to circumstances beyond my control and i promise it will never happen again.

HAPPINESS

2007-10-26T02:23:00.000-07:00

"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature."- Annie Frank

"There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness." Carl Jung

"For everything there is a season,And a time for every matter under heaven:A time to be born, and a time to die;A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;A time to kill, and a time to heal;A time to break down, and a time to build up;A time to weep, and a time to laugh;A time to mourn, and a time to dance;A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;A time to seek, and a time to lose;A time to keep, and a time to throw away;A time to tear, and a time to sew;A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;A time to love, and a time to hate,A time for war, and a time for peace." Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

THANK GOD ITS FRIDAY

2007-10-26T01:58:00.000-07:00

There was a young lady who was totally exhausted from a week's worth of work. Finally, it was time for her to end her work day and go home. As she entered the elevator, she sighed a triumphant, "T-G-I-F...," and began to relish the thought of going home and relaxing the weekend away. It so happened that there was a man on the elevator with her and heard her jubilant exclaimation. His reply to her was, "S-H-I-T." Now the woman was not sure if she heard the man correctly and she was determined not to let this man ruin her beautiful weekend she had ahead of her, so again she stated more strongly, "T-G-I-F!" and glared at the man, daring him to repeat his obsenity. The man made eye contact and stated matter-of-factly, "S-H-I-T." This infuriated the young woman, so with hands on her hips she stated, "How dare you use profane language like that in front of a lady! I was saying, T-G-I-F... 'Thank Goodness it's Friday.' What is wrong with you!?" The man was amused at her outrage and with a smirk on his face replied, "S-H-I-T. 'Sorry, Honey... it's THURSDAY!" and with that walked off the elevator with a spunky step.

ONLINE JOURNALISM COURSE FOR INFORMATION OFFICERS

2007-10-25T02:42:00.000-07:00

MONDAY OCTOBER 15 - FRIDAY OCTOBER 26TH 2007
KOFORIDUA-GHANA

The Chief Director of the Ministry of Information and National Orientation (M.I.N.O.) of Ghana, Mr. Anthony Ampong has cautioned Regional and District Information Officers of the Information Services Department of M.I.N.O against the use of the Department’s information Vans for political campaigns.

He said that the practice where politicians are allowed to use the vans during party rallies instead of national educational campaigns must stop adding that if the vans had to be used for political campaigns, officers should insist that the services of the vans are paid for.

Mr. Ampong was speaking during the opening of a two-week Online Journalism Course being held at Koforidua, the regional capital of the Eastern Region of the country, for forty officers of the Information Services Department.

The Chief Director called on the officers to always strive to upgrade themselves in ICT skills in order to be able to meet the challenging trends of ICT in the job market and advised them to take the training programme seriously.

He urged the Management of the Information Services Department to work towards self reliance for the Department rather than depending on the M.I.NO. for budgetary support to undertake programmes.

The two-week course is being organized by the information Services Department with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

—Howard Schultz

“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”
—Albert Einstein (1875-1955), theoretical physicist, philosopher
