Fact

This is not my... Quote

 

Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before.

How hard is it to live in an ethical way?

 

In this section we ask you to challenge us to make certain lifestyle changes each week.

 

Though the intention is that these changes will lead to better living we are not opposed to attempting anything providing it is legal and technically possible!

 

 

Week Fourteen - Listen and Learn

 

You might know one thing, someone else another but do we always listen to what people have to say?

 

This week we are going find out about things that other people love, appreciate or know and see what we can find out.

 

Lara is away for some of this week so it is a Susie 'v' Ollie showdown...

In a confession of near defeat Ollie wrote to me saying....Susie

 

Haven't met or listened to anyone remotely interesting in the last 3 days for A&D and that's not just me being slack I just haven't.*

Have come across two great quotes in a book called Love marks to do with making products bigger than brands. Its really well written and got some great ideas in it, written by the CEO of saatchi and saatchi anyway the two quotes that have been stuck in my head are:

You either stand for something or else you fall for everything.

and

Love is a friendship set on fire!

 

*Apologies if you met Ol in the last 3 days... S

Susie rambles on herself a lot but isn't too bad at prying others for info. too. Cue her going on a green ideas rampage though...

 

 

Monday

 

Completely forgot about the challenge but luckily a nice man on the train was telling me about islands in Dubai that are being made in the shape of the world.

 

Does everyone else already know that...?

 

Tuesday

 

Tried asking the Dentist for some words of wisdom but my question came out something like - myahghhhhrrrweraygh?

 

Not much joy.

 

Did find out thought that of all of the world's water only 2% is fresh and that you get a workout video with your happy meal at McDonald's!!

 

(Both facts gleaned from Radio 2. How great is that station! Never listened to it before but any station that plays Toto - Africa....)

 

Wednesday

 

Does it count if the person who told me about something was Ollie and as he did I can write it up and use it to beat him in the challenge.


Anyway apparently there is this great thing called the:

 

100 mile diet

 

Not sure if it is a hint (he has been known to congratulate me on being someone who just 'eats and eats' - yeah thanks Ol!)

 

Sure seems more entertaining than the Atkins or cabbage soup though.
