I made a post on Facebook the other day which read… “One of the secrets of life is making stepping stones out of stumbling blocks.” And a number of people liked it, so I want to talk about that now. Recently, I lost my assistant for a few months over the festive season due to […]

I was sitting here doing a meditation this morning, wondering what I would write about today, when I saw a little book on my desk. I picked it up last year. It was a publication from Zoo Magazine entitled PUB AMMO: 1001 guaranteed useless facts. However, I am not so sure they are useless. Let’s […]

I remember attending an Anthony Robbins seminar when I was about 16. I begged and pleaded to go and eventually my parents gave in and my mother and I went to Darling Harbour for the weekend to check the “BIG MAN” out. Fantastic event. And I enjoyed it so much I ended up promoting Mr. […]

Ever since I was a kid, I was a bit of a sports nut. I was into cricket, tennis, soccer and even made the Teal Cup Squad for the Northern Territory Football team before moving to Coffs Harbour when I was about 15 years old. Anyway, one of the things I have discovered is most […]

Did you know there’s a guy called Bryan Berg from the USA who constructed a free-standing house of cards that measured 7.86m tall? It’s true. It was completed on 15th October, 2007 as part of the State Fair of Texas, in Dallas, Texas, USA. What an achievement. Not only did he do something which most […]

Recently I watched Australia show South Africa who was BOSS in the 20 / 20 cricket match at the Gabba. I like to rub this in because I received a number of’ tongue in cheek’ comments from some of the South African members of my list. And it seems as if we have finally ironed […]

Let me tell you about my vegetable patch. My wife orders organic food every week and I am a big believer that organic food is far better for you than the food you get from your local supermarket. After all, you get the nutrients from the soil, right? And the better the soil and less […]
