I almost prefaced the post by saying that Naomi Campbell, when asked what she dislikes about her appearance refuses to answer. She doesn't want people to notice what they may not have anyhow. ... I was going to make some remark about how I hoped I wasn't changing how people see me by making this post. Then I thought - that's really wussy to try to add any kind of caveat or explanation - I'll just go ahead and say it - and so be it :) Thanks Jill.

Thanks for the link. I'd add another thing to the list - I often presume that people know what I do, and that it would be patronising to go back to first principles ... and kind of insulting to presume they don't know it. Whereas .... explaining it simply (maybe with a "of course as we all know" just in case) would be a much better approach. Hi Anne. Thanks for the link.

Not many people talk about that, and I believe it shows that you have a lot of courage ! Courage to work on yourself to always keep improving -YOU - cause that's really what life is like ! Good work ! I have followed the Aurora thoughts each day this week, and now I know that today they will all be exhausted, but hopefully keen to set themselves off onto their own new - higher paths - of life and learning.

I may not always succeed, but now I have a better framework for working out why & what needs to be done to rectify the problems. http://thepeoplebrand.com/blog/2008/01/04/7-reasons-no-one-likes-your-ideas/ Hi Kathryn,
