It s our pleasure to welcome Onur Barim as the General Manager for Lactalis Saudi Arabia (), effective June 11th, With a solid experience in Marketing in Turkey, Onur Actively contributed to multiple success stories for AK Gida in Turkey (Double digit growth since 7 years), significant evolution of market shares, successful brand strategies and Innovations and gaining a strong experience with different brands and categories (Milk, Butter, Cheese and Yogurt). We wish him best of luck in his new assignment. 2. SUCCESS IS WHEN YOU TAKE ACTION (RALPH MARSTON) The foolproof way to convince people you ll do something is to do it. Promises can be broken, delayed, amended, but actions and results cannot be denied. The best way to sell yourself is to be yourself, without pretense, with sincerity and enthusiasm, with action. Your actions are far more compelling than any words or mere appearances could be. If you wish to make a great impression, then accomplish something truly impressive. Spend your energy creating real, unique value and you won t have to be concerned with what others think. It s great when you do what you say you re going to do. What s even better is when you don t need to say what you re going to do because it has already been done. Don t wait to be prodded; don t hold off until conditions are perfect. Just move forward, take action, see a need and fill it, recognize a problem and solve it. Success is when you go beyond wishing, planning, talking, and promising. Success is yours when you take action. 3. THE HONORABLE HEROES CONGRATULATIONS ON COMPLETING 10 YEARS OF SERVICE! 1. DAWOOD AKBAR NEVAREKAR 2. SYED ABDUL KARIM KOTHERKANI 3. ALI EL CHAYAH ABBOUD 4.

SHARK BAIT ( MUSTAFA) UTN Change is the law of life and those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. A marine biologist placed a shark into a large holding tank and then released several small bait fish into the tank. As you would expect, the shark quickly swam around the tank, attacked and ate the smaller fish. The marine biologist then inserted a strong piece of clear fiberglass into the tank, creating two separate partitions. She then put the shark on one side of the fiberglass and a new set of bait fish on the other. Again, the shark quickly attacked. This time, however, the shark slammed into the fiberglass divider and bounced off. Undeterred, the shark kept repeating this behavior every few minutes to no avail. Meanwhile, the bait fish swam around unharmed in the second partition. Eventually, about an hour into the experiment, the shark gave up. This experiment was repeated several dozen times over the next few weeks. Each time, the shark got less aggressive and made fewer attempts to attack the bait fish, until eventually the shark got tired of hitting the fiberglass divider and simply stopped attacking altogether. The marine biologist then removed the fiberglass divider, but the shark didn t attack. The shark was trained to believe a barrier existed between it and the bait fish, so the bait fish swam wherever they wished, free from harm. The moral: Many of us, after experiencing setbacks and failures, emotionally give up and stop trying. We should try not to be like the shark in the story; in fact after experiencing setbacks and failures we must exert our maximum efforts to overcome the obstacles and should learn from our mistakes and always stay positive.
