Is it just me or is it rare to see the pink head of hair with conventional clothing?Usually if the head of hair is pink it's the last step of unconventionality.It's the doubling down on the alternative.The clothes were easy to pick but the hair is the ultimate sign of commitment.That's my assertion for today!

Spoon-feeding
There's helpful, then there's spoon-feeding. I think everyone gets a good buzz off being helpful and a bad buzz off spoon-feeding.
Sales construction
Sales is the construction site of the office 😛
Ronaldo’s arrogance
I was delighted to see Man United end Ronaldo's contract. My respect for the club and those involved went up a hundred fold. His interview with Piers Morgan reeked of an 'I'm too great a player to be dropped' kind of arrogance. Yes he is a great player and I'd love to see him score … Continue reading Ronaldo’s arrogance
The pain you choose to suffer
The apprentice who knows no better enjoys the role a lot more than the graduate who studied the unused perfect theory.

Whistleblowing avoidance
Why doesn't whistleblowing happen more often? Why aren't more rule breakers kept in check? I think the majority of the public don't like confrontation and so the mischievous few take advantage of this avoidance technique to get away with murder
Yin and yang symbol
"Once I get a hold of my anxiety, then I'll be happy" The yin and yang symbol didn't wait til it was fully white before becoming an iconic symbol. It did it with some darkness. In fact, if it had been all white, it would be boring. Who cares about just a white circle?
Learning psychology
I used to think it would be great if I could master psychology because then I could become impenetrable and hone in on a bully's weakness and tear them to shreds. But now that I've learnt a little bit it's become clear that we're all messed up. Even the most successful in the world aren't … Continue reading Learning psychology
