Counter Mantra to Christmas Credit
Tuesday 1 December 2009
The cycle of consumption rears its head as it has done for quite some time. Consumption is neither good, nor bad, it 'just is' and right now the majority of media exposed potential consumers are being lured, enticed and occasionally conned into parting with their hard earned money to satisfy needs and whims. Some consumers are smarter than others given what we see with disciplined approaches to spending money many of us don't have. And in the background of this activity play the jingles of 'jingles' - the Christmas Carol. So for some counter balance I offer a reworked version of a classic carol...
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
Your Credit Card bills are killing me
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
Each time you come

'Forget get those bills, spend your cash away
'Ignore the chills, you don't have to pay today'
And now Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree;
Your Credit Card Bills are killing me...'
I have just one thought - yes enjoy the moment, and do so in a way that you neither regret in the future, nor dig yourself into a future you can no longer control - spend wisely, cautiously and with some degree of subduedness - this GFG thing is not over yet

And that suggests a major challenge for airline companies of all sizes, who've come to rely on the FIFO (fly in and fly out) model of human capability delivery to mines across Australia. The technology advancements are across almost all aspects of mining operations with perhaps just one area (maintenance) still likely to need onsite human capabilities.

Lots of thoughts for the year already underway, with some covering a range of ideas from 'don't cut corners on relative incidentals when the project is significant for you' to 'you can't change your approach if you keep thinking inside the same box'. But for now a reminder about planning for your future: If you know your future is a straight line, then you can afford to only look in the rear view mirror.
