For something that is so crucial to our long term wealth and well-being superannuation is something which seems to be only ever discussed by arguing politicians, or superannuation fund ads on TV. The understanding of what it is and what you can actually control to tip the scales in your favour, is often missed or [...]

I’ve always had difficulty sharing. While others had interesting stories, something bothering them or something they were excited about... I never felt a compulsion when it came for me to share. It wasn’t that I didn’t trust, or wasn’t comfortable being open, I just didn’t know what would be interesting or feel the desire to [...]

Life is just easier when you’re liked isn’t it? Working with people who you get along with, having clients that like you, and having meaningful relationships with people are all brilliant ideals that a lot of us hold. So what are some ways to help yourself become more liked? Self-Disclose. I’ve always been told people [...]

I met someone for the first time this weekend. We got along pretty well. So well that at the end of the dinner, we decided to shoot some hoops at a local park (this was beside the fact that it was 10:30PM). We were shooting hoops and talking about various topics when we ended up [...]

I am fortunate enough to work with a great South African man who tells me lots of stories. Not all of them seem to have a point, but I like to listen anyway as he is always quite enthusiastic about them. One story that I particularly liked was how to catch a baboon. The story [...]

It’s taken me 24 years, but I’ve finally decided what I want to be when I grow up… I want to be happy. I always struggled growing up knowing what to be. Which was a frustrating experience as the question of “What do you want to be when you grow up?” seemed to be a [...]

We value friends, but the path of friendship is rarely commenced deliberately. Rather than picking our friends based on intentional choice like common values and interests, our friendships start through seemingly random meetings. I find it profound how the bond of friendship, something so life shaping and held in such esteem, can be stumbled upon [...]

We as humans can sympathise with almost anything. If an old building gets knocked down, we are upset by its removal. If I told you a shark died tangled in a fisherman’s net in the ocean today, you’d feel a little saddened. I can tell you that my pencil’s name is Steve and that he’s [...]

It’s hard to let go when there’s so much emotion and hard work that has been invested into an idea, a relationship or a job. We’re told to live in the moment, but sometimes that only blinds us of our future and the path that the present is leading us down. If you look at [...]
