Have a Brilliant, Fantastic, Prosperous and Healthy 2008

...And so it is 2008....my, where do the years go.

I’ve had a very refreshing break and during that time had occasion to reflect on a number of matters which I think are important...particularly so now that I am, shall we say, “with wiser head” I call it the value of experience.

The Value of Experience

We take many things for granted in this life - until we’re faced with their antitheses. It’s only then that we can fully appreciate them.

So, when next interacting with a child or young person, remember the wisdom which experience has provided. I’ve reflected on this because I’m now a proud grandmother and share these thoughts with you for what they’re worth.

We do not understand:

Joy - Until we face sorrow

Trust - Until we are betrayed

Faith - Until it is tested

Peace - Until faced with conflict

Love - Until it is lost

Hope - Until confronted with doubts

We also often don’t make the most of the time available to us. Remember, time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. The beautiful part about a new year – and this year is extra special because we get a FREE day - is that we have 8,784 hours to achieve something.

To realise the value of one week: Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realise the value of one hour: Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.

To realise the value of one minute: Ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane.

To realise the value of one-second: Ask a person who has survived an accident.

To realise the value of one millisecond: Ask the person who won the silver medal at the Olympics.

 

Kind regards,

Robina Commercial – Time To Stake Your Slice of The Future

Firstly, let me make you an offer. If anyone has any doubts about the future of the Robina CBD “dream”...please drop into our Commercial division at Unit 4, Riverwalk Place, 238 Robina Town Centre Drive and request a copy of an artist’s impression of what the area will look like in a little over a decade. It’s mind boggling.

You’ll find our office strategically located opposite the new Rocket building and right in the middle of the action.

For people who are out of town, just call our commercial office on 07 5585 3888 and tell them you are an email subscriber and they’ll not only send you the colour sketch they’ll give you the good oil on what’s happening – obligation free – as well.

If you’re local, take a drive by the western side of the shopping centre and you’ll quickly notice the plan taking shape at a rapid rate of knots. The prestigious “Rocket”, Robina’s first sky-scraper is now underway and there is good interest at such an early stage considering it won’t be completed until 2009.

David Gorrie, one of our senior consultant’s has noticed a recurring theme amongst those expressing interest and perhaps this sentiment is best summed up by the words of a local businessman (as best as we can remember them) - “I want to stake my claim now because I saw what happened to prices during the building phase at Eastside."

Indeed this sentiment is correct and the recently completed and settled Eastside building (opposite Rocket) saw four price rises during the construction phase which David considers delivered a bonus 15%+ capital gain to the early buyers. And says David, “This pattern has been repeated on all recent buildings in Robina; one of my clients who purchased off the plan in the HQ building recently sold for a capital gain of more than 20% and this on top of a rental return. That’s not bad in 9 months".
