It’s doing what’s needed that’s the hard part — Every article you read about success or successful people will tell you the same thing. Listen to a podcast about an entrepreneur.

My Job Reminds Me Daily What I Want To Avoid At All Costs

And no, this isn’t another “Quit your 9–5 post” — I’ve been sitting with bereaved families for over five years now and have sat with well over 800 as they tell me stories about their loved ones.

Charles and His Reverse Spin Pass

And what was the point of it? — When I was at university, I played rugby and there was guy on my team called Charles. Charles played on the wing. But Charles desperately wanted to be a scrum-half and he let us know this because he could perform a reverse spin pass. Now, I’ve played and seen a…

More to the point, why on earth have I signed up for a course? — I’ve been going to HIIT classes with a training group for about 18 months and after what can only be described as a fairly rocky start, my fitness levels, for an overweight, old bloke, have improved massively.
