Concentration like a F1 Driver

Its all systems go, go, go!!!

The highways, freeways and byways in Gauteng, South Africa have become an adrenalin pumping rush every morning and evening for regular motorists. Weaving through the narrowed lanes with a concrete barrier so close you can actually reach out and touch it, will make any driver who travels these roads comparable to the F1 drivers. The only difference is, we seem to be getting somewhere. Drivers, these days, won’t even dare take one hand of the wheel to change the radio dial. The concentration is more than a F1 driver – it’s more like a Zen Buddhist!

Are we all born leaders?

Each of us are born into genius. Sadly most of us die in mediocrity - Robin Sharma

What does leadership mean to you? For me, leadership is doing the best you can do each and every day. Its when your each act or task is done at a level of mastery. Leadership is when you make a positive impact, influence yourself and others and do it with inspiration. Leadership is having uncapped enthusiasm and living each day to its fullest. Its about serving our communities and societies and helping others.

We live in a world, where people, are more engrossed in what Charlie Sheen and Paris Hilton are up to, rather than focus on themselves and what they can do today. We live in a world, where we get so angry when someone cuts in front of us in traffic, rather than getting angry with ourselves for not achieving our best today.

Success is small seemingly insignificant acts which done consistently will over time infuse our lives and leave a legacy. Lets live our lives as leaders and remember we don't need the title of a leader to lead.

Baby keeping you up?

Baby keeping you up - try sleep training from Baby Love.

Our little bundle of joy was about 4 months when we decided to try out the Baby Love routine. Prior to this, she slept for approximately 1 - 1½ hours during the day and about 6 hours at night, awaking for feeds thrice during the night. However, worse than the lack of sleep was her behaviour whilst she was awake. She would be happy for about 10 to 15 minutes before the crying and screaming started.


Putting her to sleep was a challenge equivalent to challenges I'd seen on Survivor and Fear Factor. Like the bewildered contestants on those shows, we too, tried every possible method of putting her off to sleep including singing, praying, pushing her in a pram, rocking, shaking and hypnoses (ok, maybe not the last one but we joked about it a few times). And even when we managed to get her to dose off, as soon as we placed her in her camp cot, she awoke, jumping like the Roadrunner from the famous Wile. E. Coyote cartoons.


After placing her on the program, she immediately started sleeping through the night i.e. she has no feeds from 8pm until 7am in the morning. She has 3 naps during the day and when she awakes, she is friendly, happy and hardly cries. The first 2 weeks of the routine were tough as we had to endure her angry crying but that was a small sacrifice for the benefits she and us have received.


There will be days that she still gets up in the night and sometimes refuses to sleep in the day; however those occurrences are less that 3 times a month. She is now turning 14 months and is truly transformed. I truly recommend Baby Love to all prospective parents. It'll be the best baby shower gift you can give yourself.
