WORTHY OF CONTEMPLATION

I was recently given the following saying: “There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way.” I liked it. So I started thinking about it a lot. I wondered if it is always true and decided I was analysing it too much instead of thinking about the general truth it gives me. Then I wondered if I could substitute the word happiness. I guess I like the sentiment that life is the journey and the journey is life. I realise that perspective in any situation is the key to one’s response. I’ve so often said that life is 5% what happens and 95% attitude.

A BIT OF CURRENT INFORMATION

Many of you have asked questions or wondered a little of my situation being in Australia, being engaged, returning to Ukraine etc. etc.

So here it is:

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS . . ? . .

Do you make New Year’s resolutions? Are you someone who verbalises a “probably should but know I won’t” idea to everyone and see if you can get at least til the middle of January?

Recently I heard a great saying: “You always have time for the things you do first.”

UTSIM

From the experience of the last two years at UTSIM, the second half

UTSIM

This week I have an epistle from Natasha. I’m going to give you my translation of her letter. On my website you can read from all the UTSIM staff as well as the Ukrainian version of Natasha’s letter.

My name is Natalia Kurilko, I am 24 years old. God blessed me with a good husband and two young children (Liliya - 3 years, Denis - 6 months) and a responsible job, which I love - working as the Deputy General Director of UTSIM.

What're included in my responsibilities? Many different things: for example I am responsible for accounting, for the correct calculation and payment of all taxes and reports for state bodies, organizing all legal documents for foreigners who work at UTSIM, including their registration in Ukraine, etc. And after our CEO, Jonathan Miller, left us for Australia, in all documents I am the CEO of UTSIM, although it’s not really me. For all significant financial decisions Neil has taken the responsibility for 1 year, and he is a volunteer at UTSIM.
