    Which 4 Main Paths Of Life Are You On – Consistent, Hard, Avant-Garde Or FIRE?

    May 30, 2018

    Oh wow Ladies and Gentlemen, What an epic drive that was. I knew Sydney traffic is bad but man oh man, is it ever so bad tonight. What is normally a 40 minute journey took an hour and 50 minutes. Mind you, I don’t mind the traffic – there’s always something to do in the car you see. Eating an early dinner, getting started on the night’s drinking, dirty sexting your partner, levelling up on Clash of Clans – so many things to occupy your time as you drive. Whilst I don’t mind partaking in the above, personally I prefer listening to podcasts and affirmations – it’s usually the only…

    Be Grateful for the Little Things!

    May 24, 2018

    Morning peak hour, vehicles are bumper to bumper crawling along at a snail’s pace. In the midst of traffic, a lone figure sits upright in the driver’s seat of his car. Beside him, a truck honks in frustration at the slowing traffic, cutting off a merging SUV in the process. The truck driver sighs to himself. He slowly rolls down the window to flick his cigarette and glances upon the lone figure in the car. The car windows are up but the car driver’s mouth is visibly moving. His facial features appear locked in pain… Meanwhile inside the car. Music is playing on the car speakers. A sound, likened to the famed…

    May 20, 2018

    Gday guys! How’s it all going? Wow, what about that Royal Wedding then aye? Wasn’t it just magical! And Bishop Curry, what a sermon he gave. Something different, something special. Such a captivating deliverance, speaking off-script and from the heart with passion and fervor in front of a global audience. Bishop Curry, were you nervous in front of the most famous and conservative family in the world? No sir, cos I’m doing me, I’m doing me. You gotta do you TFS, you said so yourself right? (I sure did, right here) Aw shucks Reverend, you shouldn’t have… Ahem, now doing you or I aside, fact is – I’ve been feeling in…

    5 Things to Remember on the First Day of Work

    May 13, 2018

    Howdy guys! Hope everyone had a great weekend! Gosh the days and weeks fly by don’t they? Last week was a bit special for yours truly because it was the last week of my gardening leave. Gardening leave is leave which your employer grants so you can better take care of your garden. “Go home and don’t come back until you get that filthy garden cleaned up.” No, I lie, unfortunately – the real definition of gardening leave is: “An employee’s suspension from work on full pay for the duration of a notice period, typically to prevent them from having any further influence on the organization or from accessing confidential…

    May 10, 2018

    “A young man stood to inherit $10 million if he could turn $10k into $1m by the end of the month. The young man put the entire $10k into Cryptocurrency and it turned from $10k into $100 million in a matter of days. Fortunately for the young man, on the last day of the month, the value of Cryptocurrency crashed through the floor and his $100 million turned into $1m”. That was a joke I first heard during the last Crypto boom in late December/early January, a mere 4 months ago. Surely you all remember how social media, mainstream media and our own personal medium were all abuzz with Cryptocurrency…
