"Wisdom and inspiration: thought provoking, humourous, delightful, guru-like, quirky, energizing, enabling, challenging, alerting, awakening….the way individuals, teams and groups start every day as a Great Day" – The Replies Book

If a vegetable is boiled for ten minutes in a one liter pot, how long does it take a literature professor to turn ten pages in a book by Flaubert, while being chased by the flamboyant and literature-hungry professor of social anthropology?

There are some questions worth asking and the ones worth asking are worth answering.

Ask questions, because thy like a gold strike in the gold rush for knowledge.

Imitation Rolex anyone? We’re better than that.

Changed realities are the result of one moment, a moment of decision and in the following seconds….action.

We have our own steering wheels. We should be driving and not asking others to turn the corner and hug the edge of the roads we travel. 

Only when there is a storm warning is the direction so important. 

What is beneficial. is that the course taken is our own.

You gotta turn your own world upside down, I was told.

That was the answer I got to “how does one have a big influence “.

Perhaps the question was badly phrased –  inexcusable I thought.

But that answer? Something appealing about it. Say no to the fear, refuse the reasonable considerations and remember that nothing happens without atoms colliding, or something like that, and you’re going to love the answer.

Your own world is the one you can turn upside down. Lay off the one belonging to other people, choose your own!

Coincidentally the flowers were blooming and the snow thawing, but there was still plenty of snow on the mountains.

People were skiing for the first time. 

Graduation day for lightness and brightness.

On the way.

Leaving early enough and leaving the dough to rise.

Second fiddles were playing, they said. 

The pianos sped past everyone else.

White rabbits poured down escalators rushing to the most exclusive shops.

Top hats were available in all sizes.

The day began well.
