Taking a chance

It is what keeps me young.  Only this week I heard someone say that you are far better off being 63 years young than 45 years old.  It is all in the perception. 
Taking a calculated (and sometime not so calculated) risk is what keeps me going and giving me the challenges that I thrive on.  During a marriage enrichment weekend last week I made the comment that I like a good fight.  Take on the dogma around you.  Do not take nonsense from no-body (Ok maybe from your wife - you have to if you want to stay married for 40 years - I will be next year)

It is just the challenges of things I am on about.  I (we - my wife and I ) have started with this idea to start a private school around 6 months ago.  And now it is a reality.  This morning we are having our first open day and still planning to get it up and running in January ( even if it has only 5 learners for a start) 

All initial planning indicated that we will need funds we did not have and we would be looking for an investor.
As I am writing this now we have not enlisted the help of an investor and so far indications are that we will not be needing ANY money.
Now this is what taking a chance is all about.  I like calling it investing in Faith !

You can follow us at this blogspot:   (http://centuriongrowthacademy.blogspot.com/) and talk to me if you ever thought of taking a chance.  One of the footwear companies (Nike) has the slogan :  Just do it!  That is fine, I just like their competitors(I think it is Adidas)  slogan more : Impossible is nothing !
" Impossible " and  "No"  are just opinions - it is not answers.
