Situational awareness, hug the monster, eating an elephant one bite at a time and know yourself. At the threshold of the New Year, 2009, I made a post on this blog, see link , http://oglenigeria.blogspot.com/2008/12/out-with-old-2008-in-with-new-2009.html Where I mentioned and talked about faith, specifically faith in God almighty as being the way to sail through any storm and made special references to the current global economic down turn. Well it seems everyone and not just me,is now realizing that FAITH, plays a greater role in our life after all. A quiz titled, the recession survival quiz available at MSNBC, Joe morning show home page www.joe.msnbc.com and from numerous discussions around the world by Ben Sherwood,author of the book, THE SURVIVORS CLUB,has been able to establish again that the number one and most universal survival tool is, FAITH!
