My Own Writing
The important thing is to do something. Even if you make mistakes. Doing provides you with the feedback you need in order to learn. And by learning, even if you do something badly the first time, you can learn and improve it and do it better the next time. That’s why you can’t be afraid to make mistakes. Sometimes you’ve just got to plunge ahead, based on what you know now. Give yourself permission to do it badly the first time. So you can learn. That’s important. Take action.
Book Excerpts
You have to see life as a series of adventures. Each adventure is a chance to have fun, learn something, explore the world, expand your circle of experience and friends, and broaden your horizons.
The happiest, most well balanced, most successful people in life are those who are part of something. Part of the world, not cut off from it. And the most interesting, stimulating people to be around are those who take a great interest in what happening around them.
Every day, every second, life is whooshing past at an alarming rate. And it goes on faster and faster.
Life isn’t so different. It’s a project, albeit on a vast scale and much more important than a trade show. You have to get on with life, but it is so easy to wallow if you don’t have a goal (or goals) and a plan. It’s very easy for the days to blur into each other if you’ve no idea where you are going or what you want to achieve.
Anything that makes us more than we are, makes us strive for perfection, improves us, challenges us, excites us in a good way, makes us rise above our base nature and brings us out into the sunshine is for the glory.
– Richard Templar. The Rules of Life.
