Happy Friday Everyone,

Wellington celebrates its annual Wellington Anniversary Day on the 22nd of January, with a public holiday on Monday 24th of January. This day is to commemorate the landing of the first European settlers on 22 January 1840 at what is now known as Wellington.

FOCUSFUTURES wishes everyone an enjoyable long weekend and hope you feel refreshed to start the new week on Tuesday.

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent” -Eleanor Roosevelt.

This quote implies that If you don’t believe in yourself, then you won’t go far. You have to trust in yourself and your abilities. Confidence is important in life, especially in the workplace, because when you are confident everyone will respect you. Building confidence begins with eliminating negative thoughts. You have to know who you are and trust you can do it. Don’t belittle yourself.

(Thanks to our admin work experience learner who made todays post!)

Hope everyone is enjoying their Monday, let’s keep a positive mindset so that our brains can function at their best, and we may spread a positive energy around us.

Have a great week and thanks to one of our work experience learners who made this image for today’s post.

We’ve made it to Friday!
Time to celebrate the end of the week, take some time to relax and spend some time in the sun with friends and family.☀️

"He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever”

This Chinese Proverb relates to thinking skills, the curiosity that seeks a holistic understanding of an idea or situation rather than to remain ignorant and blindly accepting what we don’t know.

We critically assess and consider viewpoints outside our own and draw upon our past experiences and so we may make informed decisions and solve problems. We can be more conscientious in our understanding of the world by seeking information and being open to new possibilities and perspectives.

Thinking skills are one of the 7 essential employability skills. See the poster below that our fabulous admin work experience learners have created to understand how this skill relates to the workplace.

Happy Monday Everyone,

Lets put in the work this week to get closer to achieving our goals! Having a focus on producing quality work means we can be proud of what we’ve accomplished when looking back.

Have a fantastic week and make sure to take good and consistent breaks!

Happy Friday! We’ve made it to the end of the working week, we can be proud of what we’ve accomplished and appreciate the efforts we’ve made to work toward our goals.

Now it’s time to slow down and have restful weekend, take some time to restore yourself from a busy week.

"Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily." ~ Thomas Szasz

Today's quote relates to the willingness to learn, the desire to try new things for our personal development even at the cost of making mistakes or getting criticism. If we don’t try things or attempt to grow, we end up standing in the same place. To educate ourselves, learn from others, and openly receive and take on feedback allows for us to move forward.

Our admin work experience superstars have made another poster of how willingness to learn relates to a working environment as it is one of the seven essential employability skills.
