3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
With victory in my Weekend Job grievance and Missus winning £50 in the staff lottery, as you might expect, morale has lifted and the mind can think clearer. With clearer mind, I am happy that I'm generally doing it right.
There have been many disappointments, failures, losses and defeats, but I'm still standing, still making a difference and now more firmly convinced in my philosophy of life. Know what you really want and never EVER give up until you get it, and always have one dream left to achieve, because it's not the victory, it's the experience of battle that is the whole point.
I will, with the resources and opportunities available continue to make a difference my way until my last breath.

You must not yoke yourself to nationality or to ethnicity. You must not

matter.” You must not regard yourself as a slave to your genes.
Fundamentally, all human beings have limitless and immense potential.
