Turn down the noise (2 mins read)

Sometimes you don’t need to turn up the volume, you only need to turn down the noise. A couple of weeks back I was driving on my way to work and in true multitasking fashion I was also listening to a talk on the car stereo. My wife, sat in the front passenger’s seat, started a

How to identify what you are good at

Some of us were fortunate enough to be superstars from childhood. We were put down a specific path in life. Our parents took us through a regimented lifestyle. Our lives revolved around, say, the golf course, music lessons, swimming classes etc. Little wonder we turned out to be excellent at these. Tiger Woods was introduced to

So I worry a lot…

We all have different marks on the worry scale. While how little some people worry is in itself worrying (pun intended), some others worry like they studied the art of worrying till university level. I remember once being worried at the thought that I would not get enough sleep and that in itself kept me

I’ve got one life to live (short read)

Very recently I have been thinking about the topics of time and purpose. I had an incredible time last sunday sharing about time, purpose and destiny. We gained a deeper understanding of the importance of time and how it can be used for our advantage. Indeed, time is a gift and like any other gift

Be Brave, Be Fearless

A few days ago, I had an appointment which I had to walk to. Just stepping out I realised it was pouring rain (in my part of the world this is quite the norm!). Just then, I was gripped with fear. Not fear of being run over by a truck or slipping and breaking my

Another post about productivity (short read)

We’ve all got 1001 things to do in a day. I certainly do! For example, I work a 9-5 and after 5 I write, read, be a father, be a husband (together with running all the errands), prepare for talks or lessons I may be giving at the weekend, make and receive calls, the odd

Why you must not give up…

If, like me, you woke up today to the thought of the futility of certain endeavours my message to you today is that you don’t give up. To the one starting a business, pursuing a dream of financial independence – don’t give up. To the one trying to lose weight, putting in the hours working

Vision… (short read)

Opportunities are boundless to the one constantly seeking opportunities. In the end we will be judged not by the risks we did not take but the lives we did not change when we had the opportunity to. The mind is an amazing and powerful organ. Like a Polaroid camera, it can only develop negatives (eventually into pictures) it has

How I managed to secure multiple job offers

No success story is complete without the stories of failure which came before. I have been very fortunate to have never been out of job. I recognise that this is not common place and would like to see more people share similar experiences of success in the job market. I do believe in entrepreneurship but

Money and how to attract more of it

So I recently had a new insight regarding money and wanted to share it with my followers. The truth is that money is attracted to the one who handles it with care. The truth behind the assertion can best be understood if money is compared to a lover that is being courted. You would do everything

The Lapel Pin

The lapel pin, also know as a boutonniere, has been around for as long as there were weddings and comes in all shapes and sizes.  These days, however, they have become more regular accessories than a once-in-a-life time suit prop. Courtesy: Harrington Flowers New designs, more minimalistic, have made them less flamboyant and more versatile. They

My Weakness? I notice everything (1 minute read)

I’ve seen this statement several times on social media but only recently did it dawn on me. Yes, I notice everything as would most  introverts and for sometime now I’ve seen it as a burden. But as I pondered on it I realised that it is indeed a strength and not a weakness! Everything is about
