The Golden Boys

I've never professed to being a Photoshop expert, or in this case a Paint expert - so please forgive the image.

These fine young gentleman you see before you, are a brotherhood of friends recently coined as The Golden Boys. I'm not sure where the title came from, but I heard on the weekend for the first time, and I've been told it's due the 'wholesome' activities we undertake together.

From rock climbing, to kite flying, to coffee dates, to discussing big ideas - we're young men, each determined to be the best men we can be in our own ways.

I really appreciate their company, their stories, their energy and their ideals - and for 3 of them, I even appreciate their swinging dance moves! ;)

I look forward to seeing how each of us grows and where we all end up. Who knows, the troupe may even grow as times goes by.

May the bro-mance continue!

How to talk to audiences in seminars.

I just did the aforementioned presentation for Communications In Business 100. It turns out the key is to brief your key audience members as to the desired responses before you get up ;)

On a slightly more serious note - it went really well. Much better than last week's presentation for Entrepreneurship 300. That presentation wasn't quite a failure, but more of a lesson to infuse more passion and excitement into presentations.

Lesson learnt.

Speech

In a couple of hours I'm giving a speech on corporate social responsibility as part of my university course. I'm planning to draw some inspiration from the famous speeches of Russell Crowe and Francisco d'Anconia. ;)

Forge an Empire.

Some people say that there's a lack of inspiring people in their lives.

If that's the case, inspiration may only be a bookstore away.

With information as easily available as it is today - there's no limit to what we can do, if we decide to do it.

I've decided to learn all I can about business, new enterprise, accounting and business management. Eventually I will pair with a marketing genius and a technical genius, and together we will forge an empire.

Ode to Her

She's perfect in every way.

Placed on this earth to frolic, flutter and fury -

she delights, involves and tests everyone she meets.

A fountain of love,

with boundless curiosity -

a living work of art to behold.

She'll challenge your thoughts,

she'll clean out your ideals to the essentials.

It was to worship, balance and be firm for her,

that the gentleman was evolved.

It was because of her and for her, that I evolve.

To delight in our difference,

to celebrate in our lives.

Kite

The three of us - eager, young and engaged.

The old woman across the way - eager, young (at heart) and engaged.

The children and families watching - eager, young and engaged.

With every swoop, dip, and soaring of that kite,

our hearts and minds flew with it.

The world was being enjoyed :)

Sunday Mornings

Sunday mornings were made for Count Basie, cats in laps, and epic rockclimbing adventures. ;)
