How To Fill Your Heart And Soul With Joy
Not too many years ago I had a friend called James who worked for the Beneton Formula One racing team. One evening James told me over a meal that years before he had joined the French Foreign Legion. One day he just got bored being a shop assistant in a London clothes store. However, James yearned adventure and excitement. So he just closed the store door one last time and took himself off to the south of France.

How To Improve Your Relationship
In my long experience of married life, If there any common denominators to the breakdown of every single personal relationship, they are nagging and negative criticism. If you are guilty of either, or worse still both, stop now before it’s too late.

How To Make The Smartest Investment Ever
Everybody wants to get on in life, to make enough progress to have a better quality of life, to enjoy to the maximum the life that they have. For some people it all seems so easy whilst others appear to struggle every step of the way. I have had it both ways and I have to tell you it is not about working harder, it's all about working smarter. At times the harder I worked the less I got, and vice versa. There have been times when I have made a good deal of money doing very little at all. The secret for me was one very, very smart investment I made in my mid twenties. In just three years I went from earning 100 dollars a week to 200 dollars an hour! I went from living in a shack to a beautiful mansion and although it didn't last forever for all sorts of personal reasons, I made it and have never looked back.

How To Sing Your Life
As a singer songwriter and live performing artist of over fifty years, I know only too well what it takes to get up in front of a large public and bare your soul. Singers make it look easy when in fact it is anything but. Even to this day I still get nervous before a concert.That is just one of the many demons we have to face.

How To Climb A Mountain In A Rolls Royce
One weekend, at something of a loss what to do, my wife suggested that we take a drive to a mountain in the south of Japan, on the east coast of Tokyo Bay. It was a very pleasant drive through spectacular mountain scenery that just seemed to go on forever. As the black ribbon of tarmac wended its way through the deep green forestation, through a series of perfectly constructed tunnels underneath the mountains, it felt like we were on the road to nowhere.

The Meaning Of Life and Love
I have playfully dabbled somewhat over the years with various definitions of the meaning of life and love, and virtually all left me feeling wanting.The closest I ever got to a definition of life and love I was attracted to was "It is to aimlessly drift" I kind of like that, it certainly fits with my path through my own life and my skirmishes with love en route.

How Clothes Help To Define You
I have never been what you may call a dedicated follower of fashion or fashion victim as they call it these days. However, I do like to go out looking reasonably smart and presentable even if it's in a casual way. And whilst I haven't got an extensive wardrobe, the rack is sufficiently full to change my clothes several times a day if I so desired. And in amongst all that splendid apparel is one item I have something of a soft spot for, and it is not that swamp at the bottom of the garden.

A Broken Violin
"Once more unto the breach" I was lost and alone, all love long since gone, I was all on my own. Nobody, no-one, not a single soul neither knew nor even cared to know I existed. And that was the way I liked it, or at least I told myself I did. The harsh truth of the matter was I had been badly burned by two previous failed marriages , as a result of which I gave up even trying. I reasoned to myself that at least on my own nobody could hurt me. I didn't have woman trouble because I didn't have a woman.
