Influence: to encourage someone to take action
“Don’t look at them … they’re only showing off!”
Don’t look at them. That’s a phrase I seem to hear from the passenger seat quite often when a really nice car drives past catching my attention.

Creating Margin
Riding on black ice.
Some years ago I used to commute to work on a motorbike in all weathers. I recall one particularly snowy winter’s day I became aware that there was probably a stretch of black ice hidden under the snow I was riding on.
Hats off to the past
“I’m so glad that I’m out of there, I don’t know why I worked for such idiots in the first place!”
Does it need to be that way? Surely we should be able to exit a position with the same attitude and integrity with which we entered it?
You take the high road and I’ll take the low road
Oh! ye’ll take the high road and I’ll take the low road,
And I’ll be in Scotland afore ye;

How to get good and stay good. I have figured out that no matter how hard I try I’ll never become an elite sportsman. Now I know it’s said that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become a world-class expert in a subject, and however true that may be for other people, I know […]
Pareto Priorities
Figuring out the correct 20% of things to put first. I have to confess that I’ve never get to the end of the week to find that “I totally forgot to eat this week”. Somehow, I always find the time to eat. Nor do I find that I have totally overlooked sleeping. Now that’s not […]
Newton’s Law of Inertia
Flying through the air with the greatest of ease. Some years ago I embarked on a plan to lose some weight and I took up Mountain Biking as a hobby. I joined up with a couple of friends and watched them do what seemed to me at the time to be death-defying feats descending what […]
