Talk too much? OUCH. That's dangerous.....


I can't believe just how many people fall into this category.    

Yes, we are living in a world with information/ technology/online overload  - but now we have a growing number of people who are adding 'talk' to the noise.

Here's a test for you:  - ask someone a simple question, and see how longer their answer is.
How many get straight to the point?
The dangers of people who talk too much are HUGE, so without risking talking too much,
here's a few biggies:

1. They risk losing the plot and end up talking nonsense (..or is that the other way around?!).
2. They isolate you and are not interested in listening to you. (do they even realise?)
3. Even if they are interested - they don't stop for you to speak (That's just rude).
4. They build a reputation (and it ain't a good one).
5. Their self awareness is pants.( aka crap).
6. And if they are self aware - hell, they have a big ego! (know any of those....?).

So if you are one of these people. Get. Help. Fast.
Or contact me.

If you know someone like this - forward this blog post on to them.
And get them to contact me.

Not only would you be doing them a huge favour, you'd be helping to save the world.
It's not (just) about saving our ears. I'm talking about sanity and emotional well being for all.

Who's with me on this eh?

Simon Cowell and the Egg Thrower


Someone has been carrying a grudge. For a long time...

Oh , I understand how deep feelings can run when you face 'rejection' of any kind.
But revenge is not sweet - and the backlash is far worse. 

A real winner is one who 'fails' or 'falls' and then picks themselves up and carries on - learning more as they go. A winning reputation has to be earned.


So Simon Cowell had a few eggs thrown at him. But he's not the one who got hurt.

The 2 guys (Richard and Adam) singing their heart out on the BGT final did.
Their family/friends/supporters in the audience- who watched them have their big moment destroyed, did.
The security and staff who will face the questions around how it could have happened did.
And perhaps the egg throwers family, who were stunned to see her behaving like that, did.


In order to satisfy one persons need to lash out, is it worth causing so much grief to people who
 are genuinely there to help and support you?


You decide. The votes are free and the lines are always open.
