WORDS OF INSPIRATION & CLOSING DATES

As another year draws to an end, and we sit back and reminisce about what a year we have had, I am sure you will agree that top of mind has to be the state of the world economy. It really threw us all a few curve balls during 2011, didn't it? I have a strong belief that a large portion of the world's issues are sentiment! Sentiment is actually caused by people talking, whether positive or negative. When the world's top governments, and political analysts spend so much time talking on the negative only, things generally start to seem worse than they may actually be. While I am under no illusion that the world economy is not well, it is not dead yet, and we as South Africans, should have a great amount of optimism going into 2012.

I Thought it would be appropriate to email to all our clients some words of inspiration. I found so many wonderful quotes, that i have included loads of them, below. I hope you enjoy them as much as we have, and please feel free to share them with others. I do believe that positivity snow balls in the work place, and if we spread the word, we are all sure to have a better 2012

The management and staff of Pool Poncho/ Rainbow Nation T-Shirts would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to you, and your company for the support you have given us during this year, our year of consolidation.

We will be closing for our annual shut down from Thursday the 23 December 2011 and will re-open on 4 January 2012.

This is a reminder:

Please place all your Xmas orders this week, to ensure that they are ready in time

Place you January orders now, to benefit from our 2011 prices.

With all this said, we would like to take this opportunity to wish You and your loved ones a safe and Happy Festive season, and a Prosperous and Happy New Year. We look forward to seeing you well rested and refreshed in January 2012.

Happy Holidays!

Inspirational New Year Quotes

The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul.
G. K. Chesterton

Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.
Hal Borland

And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.

While angels sing with tender mirth,
A glad new year to all the earth.

The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes.

G.K. Chesterton
