Observations on the world and its inhabitants
As this is in the domain of social media, I shall be overly cautious and convoluted at times, so as to head off my words being twisted out of shape by ‘bent minds’. First off, I am not saying that journals are causing a problem! Next if I make what appears to be a general statement, ...
Some don’t like me studying the ‘humans’. That’s not news. And why? Well the humans do not like to be seen as they really are. A few things have come up in the last few months. The Future The humans believe that the future is a particular time. The reality is that no one can ...
I’ve been up to no good as usual – exploring the thought processes of the good and great. It’s been a fascinating time, lurking among the most intelligent group in the country. And whaddayuhknow – they are very much plebs at heart. I have conclusive and hard evidence in my hands! I’ve seen them in ...
It has been a terribly busy time. 'Some' immediately know, "..making money hand over fist" etc. It is so amusing how people get ideas in their heads and before long that turns into reality. But strange is it not - that when it comes to really big ideas about making money 'hand over fist', I ...
I realise that I haven’t said anything on this blog for quite some time. I’ve been busy elsewhere of course. I need more hours in the day! Each year grows more and more interesting and challenging. The years seem to pass by even more quickly than before. 2016 was a most interesting year. As 2017 ...
Today I’m motivated by an online conversation with a colleague to write this. In essence, he’s a successful financial trader by his own one method. Over the last few months, I’ve been sharing different methods, with a well declared intention not to change his. Over several months I basically get a few stock responses. The ...
I’ve decided to create galleries for all my words in pictures and other pictures, starting with this one below. For those who will claim or assert IT incompetence, each of the pictures are clickable. After that left and right arrows on keyboard may be used to scroll through all pictures.
As usual this post is based on my personal and professional experience of people in situations. I don’t care what’s written out there on the net by some lot of gurus. Why? Because it is my experience given here!! I’ve read from the gurus already for over 25 years. As I’m about to get told ...
It’s one of those posts again. I just realised – even more – that the human being is content to live in a dream world. What’s that – somebody is bound to ask. Ok – so let me distract myself to explain. A dream world is one where your own reasoning matters the most. You ...
I continue to despair for the human race. They seem incapable of distinguishing what is fact from what is inference. Yes – of course that is a generalisation. I can’t deal with each human – some 6 Billion of them! Get real. If Joe says that Jane says – does it mean that Jane said ...
Over the last year I’ve become amused by some responses I’ve had when I send e-content by email to others. The content could be links to videos or webpages. A typical list of responses: I’m in a conference in Australia. I’m on the beach. I’m out shopping. Will read it later. Will check it later. ...
Negative things are often avoided by lots of people. Everybody likes a nice positive story. But it’s strange though, how bad news sells more than good news. Talk to the media houses. So at least people say to themselves and others that they don’t like negative stuff, but they’re all tanking up on it in ...
“Sympathy may twist logic but it cannot alter the laws of logic and the laws of physics.” – Captain Walker (July 2015).
What if one day you suddenly had an awakening that you weren’t the person you thought you are? Suppose that you found out that your thoughts and feelings were being controlled or manipulated from a source other than yourself? And that all these years you didn’t know about it? You now wake up to a ...
The more I look at and think about so-called ‘social media’ the more I come to some very different perspectives (in general – meaning exceptions excepted as you might expect). 1. Social media is more about prying on what other people are doing. 2. People comparing themselves with other people. 3. Living in separate worlds ...
It’s just hit me again – another thing that’s been at the back of my mind. It’s these words ‘it’s complicated’. And it’s hit me because I had just reviewed an item, I had purchased on Amazon about which somebody else said ‘Very good but complicated to set up.’ Look, it doesn’t matter what the ...
As on a lot of occasions I come to blog something, it’s been at the back of my mind for some time and then it certainly hits me. Yuh know, like it’s some kind of build up inside. Calm down – does it have to be anger? Does ‘build up’ necessarily mean some sort of ...
Recently I’ve become re-addicted to Star Trek Voyager. In fact I had not seen Series 5 to 7 so it was just great to catch up. Voyager is like no other Star Trek spin off. Those who still recall and admire the original Star Trek and can’t unstick themselves from Captain Kirk, Dr McCoy and ...
I’m often amused by human nature, in particular the silly games people play. I often wonder why these games are played and to what end. So what’s this all about now? You’ll have to hang on or go bathe that dog and return or just bugger off completely – innit? For sometime I’ve been observing ...
Even if you’re in a minority of one, the truth is still the truth. – Mahatma Ghandi
This morning I got off a plane at London Gatwick and from there these thoughts come to be generated. I missed a bus to take me to my flypark hotel where my car was parked, whilst I was vacationing in the Caribbean. I didn’t think it was cost efficient for me to wait an hour ...
I just realised that I haven’t blogged on this site for some time. It’s been an intensely busy time. I’ve not even been reading what’s happening much on a certain Rock. Hmmm..’he must be distracted by something pretty big’. Sure. I’ve been at work and at play!! LOL. Well mostly play. Well sort of I’ve ...
Well, well… what’s this all about now. I’m afraid you’ll have to read on. And if your dog needs a bath (and I don’t know if you who reads this has a dog and I couldn’t care less), then go bathe the dog! What do people not get? Better jobs Better lives Better partners Better ...
Patterns in general, are important in life because wherever we find them they allow for a certain kind of predictability. Come on – if you know someone very well it is not uncommon to know how they might react to something you say or do. You must recall a certain tone in one of your ...
Most people these days grumble about their financial situation – unless you happen to be Bill Gates or Richard Branson – but they aren’t most people. From 2006 to now, I’ve found that when I get down to making suggestions to people who definitely communicate a need to improve earning capacity, I get told something ...
I often hear things of that nature from people e.g. “I’m not a computer person”, or “I’m not a driven by money sort of person”, or “I’m not a Nigela Lawson fan”, or “I’m not a Paxman person”, or “I’m not a Russell Brand person” or “I don’t like Tory philosophy whatever that is.” The ...
My venture into ‘derivatives’ – that evil thing associated with some ‘criminal’ bloke’- has led me to think a lot more about how we assess the future. By way of introduction, futures contracts – in the simplest form – are meant to agree prices for various things in the future (e.g. oil, orange juice concentrate ...
I’ve been thinking about my use of the words ‘the humans’. It seems to suggest that I’m an observer of them – and not connected to their kind. For sure I do feel that way a lot of the time. But looking back as to how I came to step out of ‘the frame’ and ...
I’ve been thinking again – as I do – over the last few days, about another phenomenon amongst the humans. I will reference this back to myself because I draw on my experience of how people interact with me. But what is this ‘intensity’ to which I refer? I always like to delineate what I’m ...
I was thinking about when I was much younger in my early to mid-teens, when I used to play Chess. It was a most intriguing game for a number of reasons that I don’t intend to go into. I became quite good at it and made at least one National landmark by holding the junior ...
