The real reason why we travel

Why travel? Most of us pretend that we know the answer to this question. We travel to see new things in life. When I receive this answer, my next question is-what is the difference between you and a bathroom fitter Kingston who travels a lot when catering to different clients? He too sees a lot of new things in life as well. Most persons react negatively to this question and conclude that I am interested in just pulling their leg.

Agencies?!?

Have you ever had to move into a new place for, say, a better job or a better location? I am sure many of the people reading this would find themselves the hero of this story and this would be absolutely right to claim. The truth is there are many commercial property agents that do their jobs honestly and without considering any cheats on their clients. However, when it comes to residential property, my opinion differs - I have recently More

Teaching – A Truly Noble Profession

A friend of mine was overjoyed at finally landing one of the English teacher jobs available in an educational institution nearby. I was a surprised at his elation. After all, it was just one of the many jobs that are available for talented and educated people in the world. However, he pointed out that teaching youngsters was a very special job where one had the satisfaction of making a difference to the lives of others.

He pointed out that teachers More

Cheaper is best, or is it?

The whole what’s-better-cheaper-or-more-expensive thing absolutely does my head in, because for everything the rule is totally different, as follows:

1) Cars: cheaper can mean a great car. A car for life which you can repair yourself. It can also mean a car which is a total nightmare and costs you the earth. You just don’t always know which one it’s going to be…

2) Meat: everyone knows that cheap supermarket chicken is pumped full of all kinds of nasty stuff. More

Why it’s worth bothering

There are a lot of good reasons not to bother wasting your life trying to achieve things, as follows:
1) It’s a lot of effort. Clearly if you are a major lazy-bones then that’s going to present its problems.
2) It takes time.
3) Did I say it takes effort? Well it does.
4) It means you might mess up. This means you could be criticized. Is this fun? No, of course not, another good reason.
5) It’s not always More

Take a shortcut

Is there a shortcut to success is what people usually wonder when they are always into some struggle or when they are in a position that requires an unbearable amount of effort and force. This is something we would not usually consider as possible - what shortcut can there be?! However, with the programs of following a good route of reasoning, anything seems to be possible.

Firstly, for example you are heading towards an important exam, you need to realise More

Listen, Please

Growing up, my Mum used to tell me I never listened. I never listened to her, of course, what did she know? Then at school it was the same thing. Of course, I dismissed that.

And I was fine for years, until one day I bumped into someone I hadn’t seen since Sixth Form.

After an awkward conversation where he told me what he’d done with his life – loads – and I said what I’d done with mine – More

The Pressure

There’s a pressure on you all the time to be exciting and different, isn’t there? It’s not enough to have a decent job and be lucky enough to be in a happy relationship any more, no: now you have to have done something outlandish, like wrestling a crocodile or jumping out of a plane or something.

Well, I’m well and truly sick of it. It’s called the journey through life, isn’t it? It’s not called the let’s get on More
