Not excited at the prospect of a music-less walk, I turned my house upside-down looking for a replacement pair. Well, the [...]

Flow

April 10, 2012

Share Sometimes, I sit at my computer to write, like I’m doing now, and my keyboard may as well be a block of cheese. And my screen may as well be an oil painting. There have been days when I have written, re-written and edited the same article only to delete the whole uninspired lot [...]

D.I.Y. Life

April 5, 2012

Share When you buy something from IKEA, you’re often required to build it. To follow a plan and to turn the myriad of random pieces into one functional unit. In some ways, life is like an IKEA product. But, rather than following a plan, using the right tools and then building something amazing, some people tend to [...]

April 2, 2012

Share Some long-overdue sillyness today…   1. Clients often fart when they do sit-ups, squats and leg press. Note to self: don’t hold his feet for those last five sit-ups. 2. When a lady tells you she doesn’t want to skip (jump rope), pay attention. 3. Blokes in high-cut running shorts (yes, they still exist) should never do [...]

Your Potential

March 30, 2012

Share Possibilities Human potential fascinates me. Helping people discover and explore theirs is, for the most part, my job. Over the years, I’ve watched people with not-so-much potential exploit every ounce of what they’ve been given (while creating some astonishing results along the way).
