June 13, 2011

When I was at university, I lost my first year running around with my friends. I spent my second year catching up the learning that I should have done in the first year.

This blog post has been inspired by @gotomeeting When I saw the list of projects that I could choose from, nothing really tickled my fancy. It was just before the summer holidays started before the final year of university, and the deadline for submitting the entry of the final year project was edging closer. It [...]

No Fear #Trust30

June 7, 2011

Do you remember your first ever encounter with fear? Mine was when I was 12-13 years old; I was giving a speech in front of about 300 students at a cultural event at high school. I remember freezing up mid-speech, and I ended up winging the rest of my speech (some things never change). Stage [...]
