Have you achieved success? Do you know what success really is?
Here is an interesting quote on the subject of success… “He who has achieved success has worked well, laughed often and loved much.” – Elbert Hubbard The quote is simple, and yet profound. Basic logic, or common sense, tells us that the quote is worthwhile. (Just because something is a quote does not by itself [...]
Are your eyes worth first-rate sunglasses?
Here in Australia, as in many other places in the world, sunglasses are required equipment in order to protect eyes from sunlight. In Australia we have minimum standards for sunglasses – they have to be able to filter out the right kind and amount of light. All sunglasses are not the same however and bearing [...]
Ran out of time to post yesterday…due to health issue.
Yesterday I ran out of time to post on my blogs due to ongoing health/allergy management. I was attending the Doctor and Pharmacy late into the evening to alter my medication. This weekend I will be writing about my experiences in detail, partly so that they can help others. My condition was diagnosed, correctly, as [...]
Had to deal with a serious allergy today.
Today I had to deal with a serious allergic reaction – my battle has been raging on and off for just over two weeks. I have commented on some aspects of it here in an article about customer service. The allergy issue put me behind today (Wednesday 28th) time wise and at lunchtime I even [...]

Simple life Wisdom.
Simple life Wisdom is all around us if we care, or dare, to listen and take notice.

Imagination – why you need to be careful how you use it.
Imagination – we all possess one; and we all use it. We need to be very careful how we use imagination. And yet; are we? Are we careful how we use our imagination? Are YOU careful about how your imagination is used? I suggest that the majority of us are probably not. Why is this [...]

Are we living in a Goldfish bowl?
Our society is undergoing a paradigm shift. Some of the old ways are crumbling. Take privacy for example, which is a subject I commented briefly on in my article about people search in Australia. We are in an increasingly visible world. From the perspective of my Private Investigator – Private Detective, spook hat, I am [...]
Poetry as a personal development tool.
Last year I commented on the practice of using Quotes as personal development tools. Poetry can also be a terrific personal growth facilitator. Not just because of the wisdom it can contain, but also due to the emotion, rhyme, syntax and so on – together with the associated mood. Poems can be memorised and repeated [...]
Be careful how you use language – in speech and thought.
These days more and more people are becoming aware of the power of thoughts, and to a lesser extent, the power of speech. Personal development and spiritual adepts will of course have an in depth understanding of the power of thoughts and speech. This subject is worthy of much deeper study – by everyone from [...]
Internet evolution = life evolution – don’t miss this.
The Internet and technology are not what they seem – many of us have outdated concepts, ideas and interpretations. As I have mentioned before, I think that in 100 years time school children will learn about the Internet (Technology) Revolution in the same way many of us studied the Industrial Revolution. Change is coming. Big [...]
Get out of your comfort zone and learn something different.
For some people this article may seem a bit ‘left field’, however by time you get to the end it should make a lot more sense for you. Many of us go through life without learning much new; or if we do, it is related to our interests or career. I have been a big [...]
Mouthwash & strategic thinking.
Recently the issue of whether mouthwash can give you cancer or not has divided experts: CLAIMS of a link between antiseptic mouthwash and oral cancer have divided leading dental experts. Frankly, I have no idea who is right and it seems that even top dental experts cannot reach agreement. To me, the issue is a [...]
A quiet mind is much better than a noisy one.
“If we have not quiet in our minds, outward comfort will do no more for us than a golden slipper on a gouty foot.” – John Bunyan Do you have a quiet mind? Or is your mind full of ‘noise’ – perhaps even ‘noise’ you can’t control? A quiet mind equates to a peaceful mind. [...]
Poor customer service by professionals, health insights and positive thinking.
Yesterday I wrote a post about being gracious and commented on the poor attitude of the computer games salesperson. Today I will be telling you about a very poor recent experience with a sales assistant who was actually an educated professional – in this case a Pharmacist (Chemist). I will also provide some health insights [...]
Time zone resources
Time zones matter. These days social networking and other dealings with people in different countries and time zones are on the increase. Online telephone or video conferencing is becoming increasingly common. Some organizations, and even people, have 24 hour availability however in many cases this is just not practical, or even sensible. Getting our timing [...]
