I heard about this traffic policeman who directs traffic at a busy shopping centre; instead of just standing there and directing traffic in a boring manner, he would dance and smile whilst directing the traffic. Having a great time himself, he would make what is usually an unpleasant, boring, and frustrating experience waiting in traffic, [...]

Did you know that the tight-rope walker never looks down at the wire he’s walking on because it’s too unstable, most especially when they are in the middle of the rope? When they look down, they loose balance and fall down. Instead, to keep steady – even in the midst of a wobble – the [...]

I totally believe that the bigger the problem you’re facing, the bigger your destiny. The only reason your tough season is prolonged is because whatever humungous future awaits you, you are being groomed, positioned, prepared, toughened up, soldiered up, matured up, and toned up for what is about to take place. So don’t fret if [...]

I think this at some point earlier this year, all of my critics gathered together and had a meeting. I wasn’t invited, or I didn’t get the memo. They obviously developed an action plan without me present and have been following it to a tee. My goodness, critics criticising this blog, my leadership, my company, [...]

Grounded. “Be sure [...]

There have been many a time when I couldn’t decide on a certain action to take. Whether it be a solution to a problem, or a good idea, or a brilliant concept. When I freeze up & don’t do anything, I lose. Some fo us know this as analysis paralysis. It’s where we are stuck [...]

Don’t be mistaken, life owes us nothing. Sometimes we sit still with a bad attitude, hands under our bums (can i say bum in a blog?..oh well, I just did) & expect things to turn around for us because it’s “what’s fair” & eventually do nothing but accept “my lot in life”. Bad things happen [...]

Don’t be scared to dream big in twentyTwelve. Set goals that require that extra special something for them to be achieved, & on the way you’ll accomplish things you never thought you could. “Being REALISTIC is the most common path to MEDIOCRITY…” – Will Smith When someone says to you, “get real!”, just say “no [...]

In the 1920′s, Ernest Hemingway was working hard perfecting his craft, when he lost a suitcase containing all his manuscripts. The devastated Hemingway couldn’t conceive of re-doing his work. Understandably he could think only of the months he’d devoted to his arduous writing – and now it was all for nothing. Relating it to today, [...]
