  1. The Year of the Pig and Beyond Caroline Miller

  2. 2007 is the Chinese Year of the Pig! • Actually Newcastle City Learning was born in 2006 – the Year of the Dog • Perfect partners are people born in the year of the horse or the tiger! • Good time to begin new relationships and expand your circle of friends • Loyal and honest • Work well with others • Generous but stubborn • Often selfish

  3. Ambition and Aspiration • John Paul Gaultier – fashion designer • “I felt that way because my ambition is to make the clothes the best I can to be more loved. It is not to have an empire like Mr Armani or Dolce and Gabbana. I could happily have worked for one house – making couture for Saint Laurent, Dior, Chanel. It was not about making my name.”

  4. Aspiration and Ambition • Jewish Association for Business Ethics – article Do you have a moral crisis at work? • “however, ambition should not be pursued to the detriment of others. At a recent JABE seminar a law graduate spoke of his supervisor, a partner within the law firm, who insisted that their department be the first to arrive and the last to leave every day, even if they did not have enough work to justify such hours. His motivation for this revolved around his own ambition, the objective being to portray his department in a good light at board meetings in order to secure a bigger bonus for himself. The same principle applies when the desire for power causes someone climbing the corporate ladder to tread on others”

  5. Ambition and Aspiration • Article on startup businesses • Penny Streeter, founder of Ambition 24hours • “we had the usual problems of any startup – no money, no time, no market awareness of the business. We overcame these by being absolutely focussed and driven to succeed, with a “siege mentality” to costs…..” • “We relied very much on our own resources, with no outside help, so we made mistakes, but we never made the same ones twice.”
