29 June 2007

The other day I was explaining to my 7 year old daughter what I did for a living and after pondering for a moment I told her “I help people who believe they can't, believe they can”. It made sense to her and it makes sense to me. Sometimes we look at things and make them [...]

Monday Motivation – Stop saying "I can't"

18 June 2007

We all know that “I can't” is an abbreviation of “I can not” but I would go a bit further and say that “I can't” is very often an abbreviation of “I can't be bothered to” but the “be bothered to” is always dropped. “I can't stop smoking, I can't lose weight, I can't get [...]

Ever told your kids that you didn't have time to read them a story or have a kickabout in the garden? I know I have. I used to. Not anymore though. Every Dad on this planet is different, we all do “our thing” in different ways. One of the best things that we can do for [...]

How the brain works

7 June 2007

A new book, The Rough Guide to the Brain, tackles some of the mysteries of the brain, I would say the “mind”, and the author, Dr. Barry Gibb, offers explanations of why certain things happen.

Monday Motivation – Persistance

4 June 2007

A man meets a guru in the road. The man asks the guru, “Which way is success?” The robed, bearded sage speaks not, but points to a place off in the distance.
