Good Day! How are you doing? I hope that you had an absolutely fabulous on this oh so good Tuesday. Today is the 24th of June 2008 and that of course means that it is the Tuesday edition of the Morning Cruise…so Tuesday is here I don’t know what it is hey, but for some reason it’s just such a long day for me Monday’s seam to go so fast and then it’s Tuesday and it’s much longer non the less it’s no different here on MC… I was actually thinking about it now this happened to me a couple of times and in fact it still happens I’m only human, I want to know what makes you so so angry…what makes you see red…

Moving onto today’s show we had all the usuals such as you’re Word of the Day, your SA Q&A, and you’re Tip of the Day.

We also had interview with:

· Shamila Wilson and she’s from Leadership Solutions she spoke to us about how to consider and use the opportunities created by 2010 and the soccer world cup sounding interesting.

· We also spoke to Gerard Pieterse from Autism Western Cape and he spoke to us about a fundraising initiative called Jail 4 Bail.

· Lastly we spoke to Jan Truter from Labourwise and he spoke to us about Xenophobic attacks that affect the workplace.

Word of the Day:

GAINSAY - To deny or dispute; to declare false or invalid

Trivial Question:

Q: Name the breast stroke queen of SA? Is it A – Penny Heyns, B – Jerusha Nadioo, C – Natalie du Toit
A: A – Penny Heyns

Tip of the Day:

I spoke about having trouble saying no, I know it can be difficult and you don’t want to lie so it’s just so much easier to say yes… Well so here are those tips on saying no and meaning it too…

1. Listen to the request respectfully. Do not interrupt the speaker.

2. Phrase your "no" as simply as possible. Don't raise your voice or become upset, simply say that you cannot help this time. When you say no, say it in a confident, well modulated voice to sound more straightfoward.

3. Don't feel obligated to explain. You have your reasons and they may not be ones you wish to discuss. If this is the case, try saying something like, "I'm just not able to." Leave it at that - if you must, change the subject, or say, "I'm so sorry, but I need to go."

4. Explain simply, and only if you wish to do so. If the case really is one that you feel okay explaining, make your explanation as simple as possible.

5. Stand firm. If the requestor does not want to accept your answer, tell him or her that your mind is made up and that you will not change it.

6. Be respectful. Even if the person asking isn't.

7. If your refusal upsets someone, remain calm and, if possible. Remove yourself from the situation.

8. Do not lie. When you explain why your answer is no.

Quote of the Day:

Thomas Carlyle - A laugh, to be joyous, must flow from a joyous heart, for without kindness, there can be no true joy

It’s time for me to love and leave you. You must have oh so super Tuesday. Let’s chat again tomorrow…Much Love…Peace.
