Have you ever been in the wrong place at the wrong time? Well, there are wrong places and wrong times and then there is being right at the scene where a murderer is just about to bury the body. But hold on, I am getting ahead of myself. About 8 years ago I was backpacking through [...]
Today was the day I decided to stop my writing streak. I have done a year's worth of articles in 52 days. That is not so bad. As much as I was not scraping the barrel for stuff to write about. I was finding it more difficult to write about the things that were on top [...]
If there is one "Law of Power" that stands head and shoulders higher than the rest at least for me it is Law 10. Law 10 is presented as... Infection: Avoid the unhappy and unlucky There is a lot to say about just how useful that is. This is not going to be that This is going [...]
Tell the world what you are going to do but first show it. Truth be told. I could stop this article right there. With that one sentence. But well I am going to try and fill it out a bit. I believe in vision and goals. Everyone should in some part know where they are [...]

I am a natural dabbler. My native style is to learn just enough to be dangerous. I often arrive at unconscious competence too soon, having missed some steps.
