"Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly." Thomas H. Huxley |

In the Friday fun fortnightly edition this week, we looked at the medical world.
Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.
-
Erma Bombeck
Brian, one of the world’s greatest hypochondriacs, bumped into his doctor one day at the supermarket.
“Doc!” Brian exclaimed, “I’ve been meaning to tell you, remember those voices I kept on hearing in my head? I haven’t heard them in over a week!”
“Wow! What wonderful news Brian! I’m so happy for you!” his Dr. exclaimed.
“Wonderful?” asked a dismal looking Brian. “There’s nothing wonderful about it. I’m afraid my hearing is starting to go now!

Book Reviews
1, This is what I would call holiday reading. And if you don't have a holiday it will create one for you. I thoroughly enjoyed it for just what it is - a light romantic comedy.
 |
by Susan Mehra In the midst of butterscotch latte, wraps and muffins, two people develop a secret attraction to each other.
In spite of this they both join a dating agency.
Their fate is left to a peculiar dating program, which sets them on the road to true romance. Read my review here >> http://www.consultpivotal.com/e_flavours.htm

2. This book was released this week, and it's worth the read. There's no preaching here - just the wisdom of a man who walks his talk (clichés are so easy, aren't they? but in this case, it's true). Rob is an experienced speaker, and he illustrates his points from that experience and with his own humble communication style. It makes this book a great read, and it also makes it very practical. You can implement his ideas next time you speak. Enjoy!

I read just a few days ago about how mental puzzles
have been shown to stave off brain conditions like Alzheimers.
What a wonderful step forward for an ageing population. And I
then, when I was looking for a useful book to share, I discovered this
one. I have
now added it to my shopping list!
Packed with illuminating insights and dozens of puzzles,
this is both a lively book of popular science and an
engaging set of exercises in developing a wide array of
thinking and memory skills.

3 Keys to Writing Copy That Attracts and Invites (and Doesn't Feel Sales-Y and Slime-Y)
If you're like so many conscious/heart-centered entrepreneurs, a lot of traditional copywriting probably makes you pretty uncomfortable. (Copywriting is writing promotional materials, nothing to do with protecting your intellectual property.) But everyone tells you that you need that "type of copy" if you want to make money. So what do you do? Make money and feel slime-y and sales-y with the copy you're using -- or don't make money, but feel like your copy is at least aligned with your core values?Well, I'm here today to say it IS possible to do both -- write copy that attracts, inspires and invites so you make money AND feel good doing it.
And I'm going to share 3 keys to get you started. >>

For book-lovers and home design enthusiasts, this is an amazing use of space ...: a "secret staircase" made of English oak, lined with books left, right and centre, leading to a loft bedroom in a Victorian 1898 apartments block.
