I have come to believe that the conventional wisdom of safe and incremental improvements, of using people as though they are interchangeable machine parts, of relying upon formal and audited processes to cause the necessary communication are [...]]]></description>

Of the evening.  Against two other speakers, one of whom read from his notes (but who will become a tremendous speaker, I&#8217;m sure of it).  But [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is my fourth Toastmasters speech, featuring one of my favourite quotes: <em>"If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough."</em>  (Mario Andretti)

The #4 speech is about words, words that matter.  This matters.  This is about changing your life, going faster, leaving the comfort zone, and being excellent.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Beliefs are how you frame your life.  Take a picture, a photograph, and hold a
caption-writing contest.  You might get thousands of different ideas of what's
going on in the picture, and yet the photo hasn't changed.  The perception of
the photo has changed.  That is the power of belief, and the control you have
in framing the events of your life - exactly as it is now - into a whole new
outlook.]]></description>

If I hadn't seen him deliver it then, I'd be as bewildered as you are now.  There was no punchline, no sales pitch.  Makes me want to shake him.  But he's gone now, so I'll rant in your direction instead.]]></description>

his stuff on having a purpose before, and failed to discover mine.  This
podcast goes a bit deeper and discusses general and specific purposes and the
benefits that follow from self-knowledge.  Beyond discovering my general purpose, he talks about having a more transient specific purpose that is balanced on four axes.]]></description>

from a venerable nation-wide high-street shop.

I always look at these<br />
to see what they're selling and how<br />

		<description><![CDATA[Thinking about life and my purpose and motivation and being very dissatisfied with my mental state just now, I did something about it.  I sat and thought and wrote, to a set of three questions, for an entire half hour.  Time well spent, because <strong><em>awareness is the first step towards changing something</em></strong>.
