“How Would Love Respond?”
Monday, November 3rd, 2008I recently attended a family function for the child of a very good friend of mine.

Professor Randy Pausch - Rest In Peace! (25 July 2008)
Friday, July 25th, 2008It is with great saddness that I report the passing of Professor Randy Pausch today, 25 July 2008.

The Power of Purpose - Just Ask The Peace Pilgrim
Friday, May 2nd, 2008Born in 1908, a lady who called herself the “Peace Pilgram” changed the world in her own special way.

I know it my sound a little odd but I think it’s critical to have one and use it regularly.
Let me explain.
There are three (3) components:
Inspiration - Everyone works faster, more efficiently and with greater joy when they are inspired. I’m no exception. Therefore, wouldn’t it be useful to …

Facing the Giants - and Never, Ever Quitting!
Friday, February 22nd, 2008In my last post I included an extract from the movie “Facing the Giants”. For those who missed it, here it is again (only 6 mins long and worth a view) ….

At first glance it’s easy to think there was only one message that flowed from that portion […]
Anyone For A Movie?
Wednesday, February 20th, 2008How would you feel if no matter what you “touched”, it seemed to always turn into “gold”?
How would you feel if you always achieved the goals you set out to achieve?
