Failure

"I didn't fail the test; I just found 100 ways to do it wrong" (Benjamin Franklin).

Success rarely follows a straight line. Some of the most successful men in history failed dismally before finally achieving success. Henry Ford's first two car manufacturing companies went bankrupt; Ray Kroc; the entrepreneur and marketing genius behind McDonald's was a failed real estate agent; Isaac Newton, noted physicist, was a failed farmer (Thoughts2Think 2007). The now multi-billionaire wrestling (sports entertainment) mogul Vince McMahon failed dismally by creating some terrible characters in the 80s and early 90s, leading to a loss of interest and financial woe, before finally admitting his mistakes and allowing the wrestlers creative control over their characters personalities. The transformation of Rocky Mavia to The Rock was a prime example of this as well as 'Ringmaster' Steve Austin to Stone Cold (Foley 2000).

Intelligence
'Humanity, a particularly intelligent bunch owing to a few fortuitous evolutionary traits, has -- for better or worse -- become a force of nature on Earth. Our species has reworked the surface of the planet to meet its needs, significantly impacting on virtually every other species (bringing many to extinction) and irrevocably altering the condition of the atmosphere itself. Not content to stay at home, we have even sent our artifacts into space and visited our very own moon.'

Western and Eastern Psychology is relevant in the 21st century pursuit of a healthy lifestyle. To gain an understanding on what may be happening in your body and mind can only benefit the outcome in the way you choose to live and react to situations in life.

starting somewhere

Everyone must start somewhere,so it is here that i begin. I need a place to collate my research and thoughts on what i beleive is one of the fundamentals of life, health and fitness.
It is not my aim to argue my case to what i beleive, but to give an insight into my understanding of what works and what does not and to back this up with research.
My thoughts evolve with experience and time and hopefully this blog will evolve with me.
It will be a primative start as my technical ability and tolerance of standard layouts are in line with that of nassim talebs home page.
