Here comes the sun, dodo do too, here comes the sun.... it just makes you smile when the sun is out and the warmth spreads through you. No I haven’t wet myself, I think. All those stats coming out of the government, you would think we were piling up so much wealth now. Umm, well not yet. The orders are coming in a little more steadily, and some projects have moved along a little more, but no sign of that much used word BOOM. We aren’t going to boom until those lazy Euro piglets pull their snouts out of the EUtrough and do some work.
I
like the word boom, and in fact Baldrick (one of the great philosophers of our
time) made up a poem called Boom, boom, boom, boom. Well I hope that made you
smile, that is my sole purpose in sending out these epistles.
While I am not a fan of Jim Carrey, as he makes me feel uncomfortable in the same way as a British farce does. But I did watch him give a speech at a Business schoolgraduation ceremony. Some of what he said I did like. I apologise right now if I miss quote him, as I scribbled down notes while I listened to the full 26 minutes of his speech. Here we go,
I like that.
He then told us about his father that didn’t think that he (his father) could make it as a comedian, so he became an accountant. (We all know some accountants that that are comedians.) After a few years, his father lost his job and had to re-train as something else.
I like that one too. How many times have you muttered to yourself, bugger, I should have used my driver in the first place, as you watch your cautious 5 iron shot disappear into the woods?
And lastly:
Not religious faith but faith in your own abilities.

“Love and fear, being at the two extremes of our emotions. Use love to
dream, stop wishing, and get on and try.”
I like that.
“Fear, we use practicality,
caution, logic (my word) to try to avoid what we fear.”

“You can fail at what you don’t want, so why not take a chance on doing what you love?”

“Hope is the beggar;
its faith that will drive you to heap over your obstacles.”
Not religious faith but faith in your own abilities.
Smile
and make somebody happy!
