On the path to re-programming

When you are deprogrammed you can open your mind to new experiences and enjoy far more of what life has to offer. This post is inspired by a single response from one of my associates who has been sacked, who shall remain nameless and unidentifiable. No  – the individual was not sacked for one silly ...

The Encyclopaedia of Stupidity

As I continue my sojourn through life, I discover so much that I did not know or appreciate. There are not enough hours in my day. I’ve cut back on sleep as much as I can. It would be funny if it wasn’t so serious, that human stupidity accounts for so many serious disasters, yet ...

Success Mindsets

Knock on the door

Well, I’m making breakfast this morning – around 10:00 AM – and I hear the doorbell ring. No – I didn’t think that the ‘authorities’ had come for me, finally. So I step into my storm porch and see a man and a child. He’s smartly dressed in suit and tie, and of a slim ...
