Very difficult month for all.. including me. As a small business owner, life becomes very tricky. Small wins for others can be gigantic for us and on the flip side, small losses are huge for us. The worry small businesses have right now, are unrivalled. With turmoil in government, global conflict and the ever rising cost of living. It’s a scary place. Most people won’t read this, but for those struggling, read on. With this said, mental health and support networks are important. They provide a place to vent, think and discuss your worries. If you don’t have a support network, GET ONE! Friends or family provide you with the absolute best support network and the best part.. it’s free! Dont focus on social media, in fact, remove yourself completely from it. Dont dwell on things you could have done, focus on things you can do. It’s a mindset change. A great book I have read called ‘Atomic habits’, I’d suggest reading this for inspiration on how to change mindset. Most people in society today will face some challenges in their lives, testing their ability to withstand. This is completely normal too. Very few will go through life worry-free. For those that do, I envy you. The sad truth is that some people won’t be here to read this post. It’s already too late. However, If I can help just one person, it’s worthwhile. The purpose of this post is simple. You are not alone. We are with you and we support you. From someone facing challenges to another, we’ve got this 💪🏻.

India’s triumphant victory in the T20 World Cup final was a moment of pure sporting drama and relief. After a 13-year wait, they fought back to beat South Africa by seven runs in a thrilling encounter1. Here are some key factors that contributed to their success: Composure Under Pressure: The players’ ability to maintain composure during critical moments was crucial. Whether it was Virat Kohli’s match-defining 76 off 59 balls or Arshdeep Singh’s tight penultimate over, India’s calmness under pressure made the difference2. Bowling Excellence: Jasprit Bumrah’s superb bowling (2-18) and the team’s collective effort restricted South Africa to 169-8. Their ability to execute plans under pressure was commendable1. Superstar Lineup: India boasts a team of superstars chosen from a population of 1.4 billion. Their talent pool and depth of skill were evident throughout the tournament1. Redemption: For Hardik Pandya, this victory was redemption after the heartbreak of losing the 50-over World Cup final to Australia eight months earlier. His crucial wicket of Heinrich Klaasen turned the game in India’s favor1. Historical Significance: This win marked India’s second T20 World Cup title, having won the inaugural tournament in 2007. It also ended their 11-year ICC trophy drought, bringing immense joy to fans and players alike3. In the end, it wasn’t just about statistics; it was about passion, determination, and the sheer joy of victory. India’s cricketing journey continues to inspire fans worldwide 🏆🇮🇳

Imagine using the same search for records management. That's most "In-Place" products. They use the native search that's on your Outlook, Teams etc. I call them piggy-backers. If you hear connectors or APIs in their pitch, you are getting a 🐷-backer. Pro Tip: Go to teams and try running a search. See how much of a horror story that is.

Those who were alive and kidnapped on 7th of October became the most important priority on October 8th...as their immediate release would have changed everything. What a pity that pro-Hamas, anti-Israel, Pro-Palestinans (just names but for the hostages amounting to the same thing) rejoiced at October 7th or blamed Israel for every problem under the sun but never once demanded that Hamas release the hostages. What a pity that anti-Semites or anti-cognitive reasoning-ites (as they say they are not anti-Semites so let's believe them for argument's sake) in their ludicrous frenzy to destroy Israel, instead of being human and demanding the release of a couple of hundred innocent hostages, only managed to invite a war that has caused so much suffering...and that puts the entire Middle East at risk. Worse, even if those same warped people really thought in their little brains that Israel was genocidal, then what idiot would give them 240 reasons to come to their house. What irresponsible buffoon would keep hostages knowing that Israel will never give them up? And if the gamble was that Israel would not try to get their people back, then these cowards gambled with the lives of innocent Gazans. Many are professionals. I hope they don't gamble with your money or investments the same way. And yet there are still perverted people who want to leave Hamas in charge and they don't even bother to call for the rapists and murderers and organizers of October 7th to be handed over. Go figure. What an utter waste of innocent Israeli and Gazan lives courtesy of Hamas, Iran and the pro-Boneheads who could have prevented so many innocent Gazan deaths if they just said: BRING THEM HOME NOW
