Karen Tamasa:
Reaping rewards in her fields of dreams
 The
sun shineth; the land is green; and the people
are strong and creative.
Symbolism of the gold, green and black of the
Jamaican Flag
In this blessed and beautiful piece of God's
green earth called Jamaica, hope springs eternal
in the hardest of times through examples like
young Karen Tomasa. Using the sunshine of her
19 years, she has made hay in a big way in the
agro-processing and agriculture industry.
Her fields of dreams have been constantly watered
by determination and vision beyond her years.
Strength and creativity definitely triumph over
all in this story of a girl from Esher in rural
St. Mary, who has become a national source of
pride and inspiration. Already she has racked
up an impressive list of awards for her accomplishments
and the accolades continue to pour in.
The present scope of her business endeavours
include 1,100 chickens, several heads of cattle,
cash crops on six hectares of land, a foray
into pre-seasoned agro-processing products and
natural juices and a store that promotes her
brand - Easy Way.
With a calibrated mix of confidence and congeniality,
she explained that she is currently in expansion
mode and always has her mind fixed on product
development and penetrating new markets across
the island. Can she really be 19 years old?

The
importance of a Handshake
 It's
safe to say that "associating", "networking",
"mixing" or "connecting" with
the people we want to do business with is an essential
part of achieving financial success. After all,
the exchange of goods/services for cash goes down
better if some degree of familiarity exists.
On that note, getting familiar with the right
people is vitally important, and the way we greet
these people can sometimes mean the difference
between success and failure. In the business world,
the handshake is the accepted initial gesture
of greeting. First impressions can be formed from
it, and it is always essential to try to leave
a good imprint in this regard. Possible future
opportunities and benefits often depend of it.
The standard handshake is
described as an act in which two people extend
an arm and grasp each others' right or left open
palm and shake briefly. It is usually accompanied
by a verbal greeting. It is a custom that shows
attention, confirmation or acknowledgment between
individuals or groups of people when they meet.
Socially, men are more likely to shake hands than
women. In business, it is considered the customary
greeting of both sexes.
