Belgium has always had a lot more than the faceless administrative buildings that you can see in the outskirts of its capital, Brussels. A number of beautify historic cities and Brussels itself offer impressive architecture, lively nightlife, first-rate restaurant and numerous other attractions for visitors. Today the old-fashioned idea of 'boring Belgium' has been well and truly forgotten, as more and more people discover its very individual charms for themselves.
B. Nature in Belgium is varied. The rivers and hills of the Ardennes in the southeast contrast sharply with the rolling plains which make up much of the northern and western countryside. The most notable features are the great forest near the frontier with Germany and Luxembourg and the wide sandy beaches of the northern coast.
C. It is easy both to enter and to travel around pocket-sized Belgium which is divided into the Dutch-speaking north and the French-speaking south. Officially the Belgians speak Dutch, French and German. Dutch is slightly more widely spoken than French, and German is spoken the least. The Belgians, living in the north will often prefer to answer visitors in English rather than French, even if the visitor's French is good.
D. Belgium has a wide range of hotels from 5-star luxury to small family pensions and inns. In some regions of the country, farm holidays are available. There visitors can (for a small cost) participate in the daily work of the farm. There are plenty of opportunities to rent furnished villas, flats, rooms, or bungalows for a holiday period. These holiday houses and flats are comfortable and well-equipped.
E. Belgian style of cooking is similar to French, based on meat and seafood. Each region in Belgium has its own special dish. Butter, cream, beer and wine are generously used in cooking. The Belgians are keen on their food, and the country is very well supplied with excellent restaurants to suit all budgets. The perfect evening out here involves a delicious meal, and the restaurants and cafes are busy at all times of the week.
F. As well as being one of the best cities in the world for eating out (both for its high quality and range), Brussels has a very active and varied nightlife. It has 10 theatres which produce plays in both Dutch and French. There are also dozens of cinemas, numerous discos and many night-time cafes in Brussels. Elsewhere, the nightlife choices depend on the size of the town, but there is no shortage of fun to be had in any of the major cities.
G. There is a good system of underground trains, trams and buses in all the major towns and cities. In addition, Belgium's waterways offer a pleasant way to enjoy the country. Visitors can take a one-hour cruise around the canals of Bruges (sometimes described as the Venice of the North) or an extended cruise along the rivers and canals linking the major cities of Belgium and the Netherlands.

Are You Right for the Business?

1. To be successful in business one has to possess a set of qualities that would make him a leader. Effective leaders such as Jack Welch, Bill Gates and Walt Disney brought peace and prosperity to their organizations and have become role models and icons in their corporations.
A leader must be a gifted actor, showing poetic, rhetorical and showmanship skills to drive his company. His performance must be authentic, believable and convincing. Great personal appeal helps a leader to develop trust, a key factor to success in interpersonal relations. Leaders know very well that a client and an employee are most likely to give him what he wants if they trust him.
A leader can be called an ambassador for he or she represents their organization externally and internally, collecting and disseminating information. They are relation builders, salespeople, information acquisitions and teachers who make their employees aware of the company's current priorities.
2. A real leader is always a power engine. No matter how strong a leader is he never has all the power in his organization. He can only accomplish organizational goals by mobilizing others to act in accordance with his plans. An effective leader works with others. He persuades colleagues, solves emerging in-company conflicts, and deals with rivals. Sometimes he acts as a despot and a manipulator. His work is similar to that of a conductor; he harmonizes the talents of others as in an orchestra. No matter what he is – a despot or a conductor – a true leader makes his subordinates believe that they have the power to make a difference.
3. A genuine leader is an ardent learner open to new ideas. A continuing process of learning helps him to spot his flaws and take action to correct them.
A leader sometimes becomes a victim. To ensure the continued health and survival of his company, a leader must at times take the blame for problems; perhaps suffer from the loss of power and esteem. In certain situations, a leader, admitting a mistake to his colleagues and partners, gains because of the courage he or she displays.
4. Everyone agrees that leaders need vision, energy, authority and strategic directions. But not many people realize that effective leaders should not be afraid of showing their weakness. -
A leader is a man of intuition. He relies heavily on intuition, on his instincts. He is a good situation sensor and can collect and interpret background information. He can sense what's going on without any words.
No one can just ape another leader. So the challenge facing a perspective leader is to be himself, but with more skill.
