Seems that time is speeding, and we are almost<br />
reaching the end of year 2016. Excited to inaugurate<br />
a fantastic beginning of our corporate Newsletter<br />
“name”. This issue we shall be covering a lot of<br />
exciting new events that had happened during the<br />
year.<br />
The inspiration behind the cover of our first issue is<br />
based on our commitment to you as a family business<br />
to stay united no matter what goes out in the world.<br />
Our announcement of becoming a holding company<br />
may not have come as a surprise to some, but our<br />
commitment to establishing the real meaning of<br />
a holding company stands in every aspect of our<br />
organizations functions, vision, and objectives.<br />
We decided to devote the first issue to all things that<br />
we appreciate inspiring successes and compelling<br />
stories of our various subsidiaries. But what makes a<br />
sotry so compelling? To answer those questions, we<br />
ask some of the people we admire most to describe<br />
and reveal how they turned their experiences into<br />
narrative, whether they’re putting their words on<br />
paper, catching up with friends and family, or simply<br />
reveling in the people and places they encounter day<br />
to day.<br />
Whatever the outcome is, we hope that any of these<br />
stories would inspire you to make a change in the<br />
world around you.<br />

The day I heard of Steve Jobs’ passing was very sad for me. I had personally researched<br />
every interview, topic, Launch he had conducted. I was fascinated at what factors<br />
had made so many Apple customers so devoted to the brand, including myself. He<br />
was certaily a force to be reckoned with, moreover he also conducted himswelf as a<br />
ruthless businessman, very tough to please, too picky too petty, so easily agitated,<br />
oppertunities and list goes on. Known for using and stealing his closest friends ideas.<br />
I was not convinced of those findings. it didnt make sense to me seeing such a lovingly created<br />
product so successful by someone with sch negative z all sounded distrubing to me, a brand so<br />
beuaituflly detailed couldn’t like a perfect story, if only I had not come across a very interestung<br />
interview with another Steve.<br />
wait a minute, do you meant to say, there was more than one steve that had founded Apple?<br />
He was called “The Woz” ... Then what? who was this Woz, why was he being intereviewdd<br />
and asked how he felt about Job’s Passing?<br />
what was ineresting in his interveiw is that it was impersonal. he didnt; go<br />
through his thoghts of his loss to his long time freind and partner. yet he kept<br />
describing moments of how they interacted and witnessed many happening<br />
during their relationship.<br />
then something had struck me. at the end of the interview he becasme<br />
tearful.<br />
TH<br />
OTH<br />
I was interegued. He represnted a totally opposite personality of what Job’s had portrayed.<br />
As I started my reaseach about the “WOZ”, I found out that he was the engine that had run the<br />
making of Apple.<br />
Steve Wazniak did most if the engineering on the original Apple 1 and Apple 2. They - Job’s and<br />
Woz -just made it for themselves. Showed it to their friends wanted one. so they got busy making<br />
these computers by hand for their friends and it had literally taken all their spare time. The Jobs

suggested to manufacture a hundred of those computers and before they knew it, they started their<br />
own company. But initially, they were just simply having fun!<br />
When Steve Waz is asked if he was ever interested to take a role on Apple’s Board or a honorary position<br />
with Apple, he declined saying: “I’ve never been asked, but jobs asked near the time he was dying<br />
, if I wanted to return to apple and I said no , I love the life I have . I get to go around and talk to<br />
high schoolers and university students and governemts and inspire them to want to have creations of<br />
technolgy and make that part of their business”.<br />
What struck me most about those two characters is finding the choices they had made to make Apple.<br />
one was tollay giving his all, with no quesitons asked to where this creation will take them and where it<br />
will go. the other was concenrating more on how to make Apple better, more powerful.<br />
in other words they both completed and complemented each other.<br />
But then they both had two very opposite traits. one was known to be a giver and the other<br />
was a taker.<br />
wondering now. is this a general rule of thumb to any succesful business? I<br />
wouldn’t bet on it. but Ic ertrainly believe that having both those schools of<br />
thoughts inteseted in making Apple the best, had contributd for that dream to<br />
exponenatially grow despite of its many opponents and envius encumbenat in<br />
the world of techonogy.<br />
Moral of the story? is it that the taker had taken so much yet recieved very<br />
little time with his family, time making and nurturing freindships and most<br />
of all very little time to enjoy the rest of his life. The giver on the other hand<br />
, thouhg had not gained much pubicity, or wealth, but seemd, at ease with life<br />
and what it had offered him with more time with fmaily, friends and a healthy life<br />
full of content.<br />
The sercret though does not lie in the giuvig or the taking part. its the willingness to still<br />
do so, even though you know the counterpart is doing the opposite. That takes a lot of courage<br />
and belief that nothing can harm you. not even oversharing the joy of discovering new hhoriszons<br />
with such an intircatly designed machine.<br />
That’s who the other Steve was.<br />

make to become healthier and prevent<br />
diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and<br />

to tobacco is intertwined with other lifestyle<br />
issues, and our professionals help keep<br />
an employee tobacco-free through a plan<br />
that addresses their social, nutritional and<br />
exercise needs.<br />
Weight Management:<br />
The Weight Management part incorporates<br />
healthy diet, exercise and lifestyle<br />

• Portion Distortion—a look at how portion<br />
sizes have changed over the years, examining<br />
the difference between a “serving” and a<br />
“portion,” and practical tips for cutting back<br />
on food intake<br />
• Sleep Well, Live Well—a discussion of<br />
how important sleep is to health, identifying<br />
barriers to a good night’s sleep and the impact<br />
these may have on overall physical health,<br />
nutrition choices and work productivity<br />
• Diet and Exercise—separating fact from<br />
myth concerning the most effective exercise<br />
and diet plans, the importance of lifestyle<br />
changes in a fitness plan, the value of<br />
positive attitude, goal setting and prioritizing<br />
behaviors.<br />
Simply by answering the 2 minutes’ weekly<br />
questionnaire, we automatically track the<br />
employee’s performance and calculate the<br />
points offered.<br />
