THE PACESETTER... 04 April 2020
OPINION
Why would the government not have extended daylight savings? Surely from a psychological view, it would have been good for us at this time.
OF INTEREST
Sadly, Bill Withers died in the weekend and many of you will be familiar with his number one hit "Lean on me". It's even sadder for us here at Perriams because our firms theme song was inspired by it. If you haven't heard our version, visit our website and we hope you will enjoy it.
Thanks for the song Bill, rest in peace.
TOPICAL
It is the beginning of the Cherry Blossom season in Japan. However, the pandemic has halted all outdoor activities and travel, meaning what would normally be a time where locals and tourists fill popular spots for Cherry Blossom viewing, the streets of Japan are empty, much like the rest of the world.
SPOTLIGHT
Have you found yourself over this shutdown period looking more closely at the people you pass, that you observe, that you file behind? Feeling a little more judgmental than usual? Are we not all a bit suspicious of each other?
QUOTE FOR THE WEEK
"Almost every successful person begins with two beliefs:
- The future can be better than the present
- I have the power to make it so"
