How can we help you: managing personal finances

 
 
Profile

I am a treasury custodian (coin). I obtain my CAIB (SA) qualification in 2000 completing the Advance Diploma in Personal Financial & Estate Planning. I had various articles on money management published in S A Banker and ROOTS (FNB staff publication) as well as a number of award winning letters to the editor.  

I am a readaholic addicted to non-fiction. I also love collecting book summaries and quotations.

My personal thoughts

If you want to succeed, you have to learn to cope with failure.

When opportunity knocks, you will be a fool not to open the door to your mind.

Problems create opportunities challenging you to find solutions.

Victor Frankl: Everything can be taken from a man but one thing. The fact of human’s freedom to choose one’s attitude in any set of circumstances - to choose one’s own way.

Galileo Galilei: You cannot teach a person anything, you can only help him to find it within himself.

J C Maxwell: Though you cannot go back and make a brand-new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand-new end.

Brian Tracy: I believe through learning and application of what you learn, you can solve any problem, overcome any obstacle and achieve any goal that you can set for yourself.
