Some people don’t want to embrace their now and always wanting to get more,let the balance take place. Appreciate the now and when the then comes you’ll step rite in to it then you’ll adjust cause it’ll be the real in season not the dream of want. DEAL WITH THE FACTS of LIFE NOT the faith OF STRIFE . Patience is virtue

Moreover, increasingly, the public sector looks to outsourcing to cut cost, improved efficiency and effectiveness, deliver more services, procure indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (ID/IQ)services (ie, debris clearing after a major storm...etc), infrequently demanded services.....etc. Typical services include road maintenance and repair, grass cutting/brush clearing, ghut maintenance, electricity supply, park maintenance, facility maintenance, equipment maintenance and repair, physical security, surveying ......etc. Nonetheless, outsourcing is no panacea; it comes with pros and cons; it has to be effectively managed.
