Thank you for making Esteemed a part of that break and with this second edition, we hope that you will have a good read and get a new outlook on life. Successful is the term I would give to our launch edition. We received very humbling responses that were the icing on the cake. You should have seen the finger biting and wrist rubbing that went on after the upload on the website (www.esteemedonline.com) was done. Your responses have served to spur us on to another edition. According to our statistics, we had a total of 2,948 hits since our launch on March 31, 2007 with e-visits from Kenya, USA, European Union, Bahrain, The Netherlands, United Arab Emirates and France among others. Thank you for passing the word on Esteemed and please continue sending us those comments and points of concern to make us better and to provide a better read for you. In this edition, we interview three individuals in different industries hospitality, motoring and academic (a teacher). They give us an insight on what keeps them going in their chosen career paths and where they see themselves in relation to their daily arenas. We also feature articles on customer relations, human relations - if you work, then you know office politics can be as interesting as national politics by our honorable members! For the quiet moment, we have quite a read in store for you as well as the investment idea of the season, and much more which is sure to make No. 2 a good No 1 read.
