My first post - of many I hope - let's wait and see!

First and foremost this is intended to be a blog summarising important events that I have faced in my private and professional life. I suppose it might be classed as my 'scrap-book' of important experiences and ideas that I wish to carry with me and also to share them with you.

Inspiration for the blog

Over the past few years I have been reading an increasing amount of books. I suppose one of the first - and second - books that started my reading frenzy was Richard Branson's 'Business Strpped Bare' and then after was his autobiography 'Losing my Virginity'.

A common theme throughout Richard's life, and which I assume greatly helped him write his books, was that he always made notes of his experiences in his scrap-book. A few books later came 'Thinking, fast and slow' by the Nobel laurate Daniel Kahneman. The ideas that this book put forward were incredible but vast and I was struggling to remember all of the themes that were introduced to me. Now, I have just started reading the 'Personal MBA' by Josh Kaufman. In his introduction, Josh refers to all of the books and blogs that have resourced the content of his book.

In my mind, enough is enough. I am faced with so many exciting situations, emotions, thoughts (and the list goes on...). I need to record them somewhere. So I have chosen to use Google as my home. First and foremost because I know Google will be around for a long time, and it is so easy to use.

Going forward...

Like I said, I hope I will remain disciplined - even if filled with 'one-liners' - to keep posting my blog throughout my immediate life. I will add that I am not posting anything retrospectively; I am only going to post things that I have encountered from hereon.

I will say that this blog is intended first and foremost as an aide for me to look back on. But, I don't mind people finding it and reading it because one day - who knows - it might come in handy for some purpose unknown to me now (hence me posting this publicly just in case I die and years later I turn out to be a coming of Christ!).

I am writing this from my temp job, while sitting on reception waiting for home time. It is 17.06, and I leave at 17.15. Then off to play footie and then to Elysia's Birthday meal at Strada... YUM
