		<description><![CDATA[Senior People today are living longer and healthier yet they are branded  as incapable and unfit at the early age of 65.

  It is said you will never learn any thing from  a young person .

Who do you think built Bermuda ?

   The young are quick to place our people into the &quot; Age box &quot;  while they themselves are the ones who are mentally challenged with out their  &quot; i &quot; computers  and cell phones they are absolutely useless.
 
 In order for a country to function there is a need for diversity, we can  not all be taxi drivers or chamber maids. People need to develop  diverse skills, this is where an apprenticeship came in, there will always be a need for carpenters,  mechanics etc ! all requiring English and math skills .

  The unions are to blame for encouraging the &quot;one man one job&quot;, look  at where that has got us, with lots of people out of work, Bermuda needs to move forward with the times.

 The unions brought England to its knees 70 years ago.

  Are we all sitting on our thumbs waiting for the next miracle?  We need to get along with one another,living in the past is over.
 
 There is the  Sage report !
 
  Where is the  Wage report?

 Are we the best at what we do ?
 What is our brand ? 
 What is Bermuda&#039;s national product ?
 What are we to be known for ? 
 Where are we going ?
 Is service, all we have to offer ? 

 What do you learn from the  America&#039;s  Cup boats deck crew ? Victory does not come on a silver platter.

  The big problem here is the &quot;down de road&quot; mentality  that may work out in the street, but not at the employment office.
 
  May be we can blame the education system for the ignorance or lets take it one step further and blame the teachers  who have lost touch with  modern day business requirements. 

 what is the secret ?  Trade ; Buying ; Selling  and Marketing !

 Hey  ! I was  not born yesterday.]]></description>
