Image via One chilly Monday morning, two introverts stood in line at the coffee stand outside Giles Church in the heart of London’s West End. I was letting off some steam to my collegue Eugine* as we waited for our morning cuppa joe… Me: I don’t know man… it’s hard living with family because they wanna do ‘family stuff’ all...

Life is full of challenges isn’t it? While it’s a well known saying: life is a race. John Maxwell argues that life is in act life series of races.

Chapter 1 – The Attack My ordeal all kicked off as I was innocently walking home from East Acton station just before 11 pm. I was taking the usual route home, and as I turned the corner I began to faff about with my iphone. I was actually changing the track from Katie Perry’s Wide Awake to that new Daft...

So the other day, due to freak weather conditions and torrential flooding (which is still occurring here in the South), I found myself stuck at Reading Station desperately trying to get home.
