This exact phrase was uttered by a Thai friend from a very underprivileged background who works in the now non-existant tourism sector and it was a sentence that struck me significantly.
We were talking about her past and why she was where she is today and she told me of her hopes for her future, then told of the 'friends' and associates that put down her dreams and told her she could not have them. She has nothing good in her life except that it may one day get better. What a pack of A-holes...

"Prior preparation prevents piss poor performance" this was the mantra chanted by our Corporals, Sergeants and Officers from the Australian Infantry that I did basic training with, and it holds so true that I though it needed a write up of it's own.
So many people have excuses why they did not do something, something did not work out the way it was 'planned' or why something just simply failed....

Funnily enough a lot of people I know who are outstanding in their own way, creative, overly intelligent, non-conformists seem to feel there is something wrong with them, that they are the odd ones out.
I admit there have been times when I thought life would have been much easier if I could be happy following the herd, doing the 9am to 5pm thing for 40 years then retiring to 'enjoy' my old age and lack of health.
But I can't do that, and many people I know also do not fit into the 'accepted' social format, a lot of these people I have noticed feel like social outcasts....

I was reading Sir Richard Branson's (owner of the Virgin group of companies and one of the most successful men on earth, builder of the fastest ever company to reach $1 billion turn over, etc) latest book the other day and came across one paragraph that stuck out in particular, in amongst a chapter on Entrepreneur and Leadership.

Recently it seems a lot of people have started giving me their advice on how I should be living, now unlike a lot of people I completely ignore these advice givers. Sure I write back polite emails or ask them details about why they think that way but after that it leaves my system never to be considered again.
Why? Number 1 is that overall I do not care what other people think, and my number 2 reason for ignoring this advice....
