Why Opposites Attract
We live in a society of opposites, and we live in such a society because opposites attracting and competing with each other benefits the survival of the human race. In this post to talk about how.
Opposites attract for the simple reason that opposites attracting is massively beneficial on many many levels. It benefits us as individuals, it benefits children we have, it benefits society, so much more. For example, imagine somebody who is really good at sourcing water but terrible at finding food, and that person gets with somebody who has identical traits. They would not have no trouble…

Outliers – If You Want to Understand the Difference between Success and Failure, Read This Book
This is most definitely one of the best books I've read in a good while, the chapter about how the month you are born in can play such a big part in whether you become successful or not is mind boggling. Highly recommended read!
What it’s about This book looks at the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful, and asks the question what is the key to their success. What makes a high achiever different from everyone else. Why you should read it This book is an absolutely fascinating read, and any person who reads it will likely never be able to look at a “successful” person and an “unsuccessful”…

Success Is a Lottery – Acknowledging That Fact Will Make the World a Much Kinder and Fairer Place
We judge people's worth and ability based on their level of success, but in this post I argue that that is wrong, a mixture of opportunities that people have been given along with luck and avoidance of bad luck define success, ability is a distant second.
I’ve just been reading a book by Malcolm Gladwell called Outliers, if you haven’t read it I highly recommend it, it truly is a fascinating read. But anyway, the point that it makes is that success and failure is all about luck, yes most of the time hard work is needed to go with that luck, after all, you have to take the opportunities that come your way. But luck is very much the defining factor,…

Listening Is The Path To Finding Happiness, Because Listening Is The Path To Being Heard
Listening Is The Path To Finding Happiness, Because Listening Is The Path To Being Heard
There is nothing more frustrating in this world than feeling like you are not being heard, and that no one is listening to you or getting you, it can leave you feeling unbelievably downbeat and alienated. In fact, such a feeling is the path to a very negative and lonely existence, I know it because in my youth I used to feel this way a lot. But as the saying goes, you must treat people how you…

Relating Not Hating Is the Path To Being Heard
One of the most important lessons I have ever learnt in life, is that one of the best ways to be heard is to listen.
This is the second post in the series I'm writing about all the lessons I would love to teach my younger self if I had the chance, and it's about people with opposing views and how we deal with them. In my view one of the biggest problems the world has is that large numbers of people when they come across a person who has a different opinion to them, rather than wanting to understand why they…

Transcendence
Watched this the other day and have to say it really makes you think, fascinating premise!
What it’s about After an assassination attempt Will’s desperate wife uploads his consciousness into a quantum computer to save him. He soon begins making groundbreaking discoveries but also displays signs of a dark and hidden motive. My thoughts Despite Johnny Depp and Morgan Freeman starring in this film along with Paul Bettany, to say that this film got a poor response would be an…

Tenet
Wow is this film complex, but it's also quite cool and certainly a spectacle!
What it’s about A secret agent is given a single word as his weapon and sent to prevent the onset of World War III. He must travel through time and bend the laws of nature in order to be successful in his mission. My thoughts Rumour is that it took Christopher Nolan five years to get the idea right in his head, then a further five years to term the idea that was in his head into a script. And…

What you will learn from watching it ​Heat is based on the true story of Neil McCauley and Detective Chuck Adamson from back in 1964, McCauley was a calculating criminal and…

Masters of the Universe
I dunno what to say about this film, perhaps awfully brilliant LOL
What it’s about Skeletor has taken the sorceress prisoner, and is draining her of her power as he chases the power of the greyskull which he got would make him the most being in the universe. He-Man and his companions must stop him, but in their fight to do so they end up on planet Earth. My thoughts This is one of those fabulously awful films, one of those films that is so awful that it…

Ice Station Zebra (Novel)
Have to say this was a really good novel, better than the film version which considering how good that is says a lot!
What it’s about Dr Carpenter has orders to go to the Arctic on Commander Swanson’s atomic submarine, the Dolphin. They have to sail beneath the ice-floes of the Arctic Ocean to locate and rescue the men of weather-station Zebra, gutted by fire and drifting with the ice-pack somewhere north of the Arctic Circle. But the rescue is more than it seems, as is Dr Carpenter, whose secret mission is to…

Best Wrist Splints for Scapholunate Ligament Tears, RSI, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, De Quervain's Tenosynovitis and other Hand and Wrist Injuries
I've tried a lot of wrist splints namely because there are so many, some are good some are rubbish, if you need a wrist splint these are the ones that I think are the best of the available ones out there.
First thing’s first, I highly recommend before purchasing any form of wrist splinting, that you get some advice off a professional who knows what they are talking about. The reason for this is because sometimes wearing a splint can actually hinder a hand and wrist problem i.e. it can make whatever problem you have worse. I know this because it happened to me, due to a messed up referral I was…

The Best Ergonomic Computer Mice and Mouse Alternatives for RSI and Other Hand and Wrist Injuries
After a lot of research these are what I believe to be the best computer mice, and computer mice alternatives out there for helping to stave off RSI and other hand and wrist problems.
It has long been known that a simple computer mouse is enemy number one for a person’s wrists, literally heavy use of a computer mouse puts a person at even greater risk of hand and problems than a keyboard. That means getting the right mouse is unbelievably important, as doing so can not only help stave off future problems, but can help alleviate already developed problems. With that said,…

The Best Ergonomic Keyboards for RSI and Other Hand and Wrist Injuries
Due to the problems I have with my hands and wrists, and another research into looking for the best ergonomic keyboards. These are what I have found to be the best!
If you have hand and wrist problems like I do or wish to stave off hand and wrist problems, then an ergonomic keyboard is an absolute must. But one of the great difficulties, or at least one of the great difficulties I have found, is that when looking for an ergonomic keyboard you are presented with literally gazillions of options. Like literally so many that it is just ridiculous. With this in…

The Best Microphone Setups for Speech Recognition Software – Taking into Account Environment and Planned Use
The Best Microphone Setups for Speech Recognition Software – Taking into Account Environment and Planned Use
Due to having a torn scapholunate ligament in both of my wrists, I’m a user of speech recognition software. That means that I, like many users of speech recognition software, fully understand just how important it is to have a good microphone set up. Literally it doesn’t matter how clearly you speak, if you have a rubbish microphone then using speech recognition software can be a tedious…
