Parent workouts simply means fitting your workout within your normal parenting day instead of trying to fit it into the millisecond of free time you have. Yesterday I did my parent workouts while taking mini me to the World Cyclocross Championships as they visited Milton Keynes for the first time. I couldn’t actually believe that a world championship event would be right on …
I needed a little inspiration in the challenges of being an entrepreneur and inventor. I just checked out the Wright Brothers because at the time they pioneered human flight there were hundreds of others trying to do just the same. I wanted to understand how long it took them. What kinds of things they did. How much detail they went into and …
My philosophy is that ‘The way you think defines what you achieve‘. By that I mean that your philosophy determines the decisions you make to any given situation and thus the outcomes you can expect. It is through these decisions that you define the life and accomplishments that you end up with. Of course there are other factors but I …
I’ve been talking for a while how everything we see other people achieving we could actually achieve ourselves. We just need to learn to bring it out of us. A couple of weeks ago I ate at a restaurant and the waitress showed exactly what I’m talking about. There were four of us and we had a lot to order. …
This phrase has defined my life because I have always noticed that those who succeed think differently than those who don’t. It has been a clear pattern I notice in those top in their profession too in that the way they think gets them to the top. In the making of an expert I see a wonderful example of how experts are …
Reflections on The inner game of tennis. I read it many years ago and I am now re-reading it. I feel like looking back over what I have learnt since and what it reminds me of. for starters page 17 has a fantastic quote. The backhand can be used to advantage only on a tennis court, but the skill of effortless …
This article is a continuation of the process I’m going through of achieving my dreams. Some parts of this process I want to share on blogger partly as a record and partly as a way of getting support and advice. The essence is that I’m spending these years learning more about how to live the dream I want in a …
Another excellent example of someone just asking ‘what’s the worst that could happen?’ and just doing what they feel is right. I just love being inspired and I like to share things that inspire me.
Wow. I just saw a video that covers all I talk about and believe. Just do it. If it’s not possible then you won’t do it but you’ll never regret trying. I found out about it at http://gymnasticbodies.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2374#p15215 which has a good background and discussion. The video is below
This talk is a god send for me because it links genetics, what we’re born with, to lifestyle, what we do with what we’ve got, and makes some positive points. I like to push the idea of having fun while being healthy. The idea that we all enjoying doing healthy things we just don’t all know what healthy things we …
It strikes me that it’s easier than ever to setup a site or system that’s effectively the social site for assessment and getting jobs. The premise being individuals have knowledge and skills and they want to show others how good this knowledge and skills are. We normally do this through lengthy examination and assement procedures that take a long time …
Have you ever met some one who doesn’t look like much but can whoop your arse? You know, that guy with the pot belly, doesn’t look like he’s exercised since 1965 and you picture him at home with the remote control slowly becoming part of his hand cos he’s always watching tv. Yet this guy just has your number when …
I just had to write about this presentation I just watched by Jeff Hawkins founder of Palm computing on how our response to failure is key to learning how to succeed. The presentation is focusing primarily on business but to be honest I just feel it applies to life. I was lucky that in certain areas of my life, particularly …
My experience of people talking about health is that you can either be happy or healthy. Pick one. My view is that you can have both. You are also generally told that the modern way is bad. The attitude is ‘don’t live in the present, live in the past. It’s much better for you.’ This advice frustrates me because it’s …
I took these notes from the TED lecture given by Richard St. John The talk details are at http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/70 I have to say that when I look back I can say that each success that I’ve had owes a lot to the things Richard talks about. He put’s it so clearly and precisely I just had to note it for …
