E D I T O R I A L
Goa-World Team is proud to present the XVII volume
of the Gulf Goans
Mailing List Weekend Post Newsletter and with it, we hope that
it will
usher each and everyone of you in the Christmas spirit and mood!
No doubt to publish a weekly newsletter for the benefit
of the Goans
in the region and elsewhere, requires support
& cooperation and our
team members spread throughout the GCC countries
as well as in other
Middle East countries do lend us their hand and contribute
in making
it a success!
We would like to go on record as well as give
out our little secret
that the coordinated efforts of our Team members are only
through the
internet and the telephone facility. Even in Kuwait,
Goa-World Team,
since starting with the newsletter, way back in August
'98, have not
physically met at any time (touch wood) although the principal
"team"
is based in Kuwait.We are,indeed, thankful to the technological
marvel
of the communications' revolution! The sole purpose to
stress on this
point is that we, Goans, can achieve a lot of things for
our common &
profound benefit, with the sole objective of determination!
As per the comments received from the Goans residing in Kuwait
as well
as those afar as the Bahamas and Norway, Goa-World Team have
shown the
right path to keeping the Goan community informed, without harming
the
personal dignity & reputation of fellow-Goans amongst
us, after years
or should be say decades of mud-slinging and name
calling! Towards
this end, our colleague, Ghtmler C. Almeida,
familiar with the Goan
community affairs & personalities in Kuwait, does a bit of
"cleansing"
and "moderating" the articles without distorting the "image","content"
and the writer's "unique individual writing style" as well as
personally
investigating! So far this approach has not entertained
any rebuttals
and repraisals for which we thank the Almighty!
Due to ever-increasing cost of maintaining
a dedicated mailing list
as well as the Goa-World website, we shall in the coming
months, look
towards some sort of sponsorship -- by way of paid
advertisements as
well as classifieds for a nominal fee. We would like
to solicit your
support and cooperation towards this end!
We take this opportunity to thank all those who have subscribed
on our
mailing list which is growing by an average
score per week. We also
thank all those who have contributed and supported
us tremendously.
We also thank all the Goan and Indian associations / clubs/societies/
federations/forums/organizations/newspapers & news agencies
as well as
individuals in Kuwait, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar,
Oman, Bahrain and
Saudi Arabia, and from other countries who
have constantly kept us
updated on the latest happenings and events!

Without these human attributes working for you, you don't have a chance.
If you don't have these partners working in your corner, give
it up and
get a job at "MACS", you will be much happier! The rocky road to success
in your own business is a long & hard traveled path. You
have to get up
pretty early to make it down that long, hard path and those
who dilly-
daddle around will never get the job done before the shadow of
darkness
gobbles them up.
A very lucky person are you, if you have all four of these human
traits
working for you.You will make it to your dream if you stick to your
guns.
You will need every bit of help along the way. Never refuse advice
from
some one who has traveled down the same path that you are now traveling.
There is no better teacher than experience.
Don't be afraid to ask
questions, most successful business persons will be glad to answer
your
questions.
Take the information that you are fortunate enough to get very
seriously.
Do not just learn, but put it to work for you, in
your every day
life.
Look at the people around you that are,or have been doing the same
thing
as you are attempting.Look at the things that are making them successful
& look at the things that are not working for them & try to
avoid making
the same mistake.
Millions of people all have the same dream of freedom, happiness, wealth
& success. Only a handful will ever realize their dreams, but it
is very
possible that each and every one could accomplish their goals.
The four
keywords to success are not hard and fast things that you are born
with,
but each one can be learned, developed, and fine tuned so that
they are
working hard for you.
Decisions made today will influence the rest of your life. You must
make
the correct decisions today to make your dreams come true tomorrow.
You
must choose what type of business you think that you have the
ability &
interest to be involved with for a long period of time. You must
decide
who the leaders are in your business &
who are the experts. You must
analyze the methods that each of these leaders are using to keep them
at
the top and work these methods into your business. You must be dedicated
to making your business grow every day,every week, every month and
every
year.
Growth is what it takes to reach your goals and not
a day should pass
without you doing something positive towards this growth.
Results come
to those who put in the effort, there is no other way.
Patience ~ ~ "They will come, if you build it"
Perseverance ~ ~ "Never Give Up"
Hard Work ~
~ This is necessary, don't let
anyone tell you differently!
Determination ~ ~ ~ ~ Drives you to the finish line.
