These days we care Aincreasingly about numbers and volumes than anything else. After all it’s what corporate life is all about. Winston Churchill said ‘Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference’. ‘Our Attitude determines our Altitude’. A little difference in our attitude in a positive way, with colleagues, business partners, customers or at home can bring in change, gratitude, and kindness and can make someone else’s life a little better. The new financial year let us start with a positive attitude. We have new endeavors, commitments, targets and new achievements. As much as it may be a time for making new plans it is also a time to assess the old ones. This is also a good time to take stock of what were done wrong and what could be made better, this year round. We at Xpressions plan to bring into this year innovative ideas and creative contributions. We are also determined not to rest on the laurels, instead to take the challenge up a notch and do things better. We are inspired by your stamp of approval to the revamping of the magazine and it encourages us to go further on our quest for change and variety. We intend to keep our commitment to the society and corporate social responsibility high on the agenda and yet put up platters with newer offerings, each month. So, looking forward to receiving the affection and responses from our readers as we have received to date, we wish you a brand new, business filled prosperous financial year. Till the next issue...
