As with every year, 2022 had its highs and lows, good and bad. Looking back, many lessons were learnt and apparently, some weren’t, and life made us revisit them again.
We are unable to be who we are without the support of our clients, staff and families. To all of you – our sincere thanks! Together we have lived and loved through another year.
In the year past, Snymans have had many conversations discussing how we can continue to do good business and provide the service excellence for which we are known for and, at the same time, do so with a view to create a better world for those following in our footsteps.
We know we cannot change the past, so we are focusing on the future to try to improve what we have. We agree with Elon Musk when he says, “If you want the future to be good, you must make it so.” Read that with the native American Proverb which teaches that we do not inherit the earth from our ancestors but that we borrow it from our children.
This is the opportunity for us and why the future excites us. 2022 saw the realisation of a long-held dream for Snymans – the creation of the Snymans Caterpillar Foundation. We believe that this is the vehicle that will assist in creating a sustainable future, together, both for the earth and the human inhabitants.
If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people. – Chinese Proverb
Please join us in doing just that in 2023 and beyond.
We wish you a blessed festive season. Please travel safely and rest well.
Jansen Snyman
