I had finished University and I thought "What do I want to do with my life?" I decided that I wanted to help people and took on a voluntary job for an environmental charity. It was interesting to see how unorganised the voluntary sector was. My job title where I 'worked' was called 'Campaign Officer' … Continue reading My Own World
Small Challenges – Big Achievement
Look at the picture below - what do you see? Curtains? A rather empty looking room? To me - I see achievement. See I have always considered myself a 'thinker' so when I moved into my new house one of the biggest things I was dreading was having to do small bits of DIY. In my … Continue reading Small Challenges – Big Achievement
Bouncing Souls: Better Things
If you have read this blog for a while you will know that I am a big fan of the punk band - The Bouncing Souls. One of my favourite songs by them is called Better Things. With catchy, feel good lyrics, this makes it a classic Souls anthem. But when I first ventured into the … Continue reading Bouncing Souls: Better Things
A Man Of Many Talents
This year I made a cake for my birthday. Being aware of many of the activities I do (many of which I highlight in this blog). Someone remarked "You're a man of many talents" I guess I am. But the reason I am is because I make the effort to apply myself and try. I … Continue reading A Man Of Many Talents
Sorry About That…
I really think we say sorry too much. If I clash with someone coming out of the gents as I am going in 9 times out of 10 I hear "oh sorry..." Why do you need to be sorry? Isn't excuse me a more appropriate word? I couldn't help but think we say sorry too … Continue reading Sorry About That…
Unlucky For Some…
I play bingo - no lie. Nearly every Friday for the last six month I go down to the local working men's club and play four rounds of bingo. I haven't won that cash prize once. Logically I struggle to understand why some regulars win it more than others. They are there pretty much every week … Continue reading Unlucky For Some…
The First (and only) ‘Best Planner Signer’… 1997
It was the final year with Mrs Sutton as the teacher for form 9S. We had been with her since 5S (so four years). And as each year went by we gradually molded into one of the better class groups in the school. Next we would be in Year 10 and so we would be … Continue reading The First (and only) ‘Best Planner Signer’… 1997
My Hell – 1 year on
It was almost a year ago when I was heading up for a crash and my life took a turn for the worse and I thought there was no escape. I even wrote a post about it called My Hell. I was truly in a sorry state - I was in no fit condition to … Continue reading My Hell – 1 year on
Sharing Dreams and Goals
Apart from writing a blog that discusses some of my dreams and goals, in the real world I have kept many of my goals secret. But why would I do such a thing? Is it because I am embarrassed by what I set? Or is it because assume that people are quiet negative and take pleasure … Continue reading Sharing Dreams and Goals
System: The Power of Three
I have had a bit of a hiatus from posting recently. Since starting the blog I have been well disciplined to ensure that there has been new content every week (or more) because when I started I knew that I did not want to be one of the those blogs that post inconsistently and started … Continue reading System: The Power of Three
They say to follow your passion…
But when I was 3, I wanted to be a cat. When I turned 5, I was more realistic in my career aspirations and wanted to be a fireman. When I was 11, I wanted to save all the animals. When I was 12, I wanted to save the world. When I was 13, I … Continue reading They say to follow your passion…

To meet my need to be more assertive, I decided to develop a list of rules that I will follow to ensure that I am not being a pushover. These are quite personal to me and is a guideline on how to put being assertive into practice. Charity begins at home. Don't be sorry when … Continue reading The Assertive Rules List
