  • My Perfect Day

      MY PERFECT DAY 2030

    I wake up in the morning next to my beautiful wife and have a great breakfast with my family. I go for a run, walk and swim. I have done this after going to the gym yesterday.

    I own an Online Retail business that my whole family is part of. I enjoy consulting and investing  and enjoy talking to people. 

    We have been to Europe as a family as well as Disneyland.

    I go on holiday whenever I want and have great people around me to run and drive my investment and business portfolios.

    I have enjoy life to the fullest.

    I deal with and am in business with people that have integrity, honesty and have great beliefs in business and life.

    I enjoy all my retail business, my family and recreational time. I enjoy traveling and people I deal with daily.  


  • Life

    I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. – Thomas Jefferson Success in my experience requires the following elements: A clear, stretch goal. If the goal is too easy, it won’t feel like an achievement; if it’s unrealistic, you’ll never do the work. Love for what you’re doing. Very hard work, often over a long period of time. A sense of realism about the world, and your own limitations. As we used to say at Microsoft: you can’t boil the ocean. Nor can you make people come back from the dead. Flexibility and perseverance — you’ll need to adapt to the curve balls life will throw at you. …And, often, a bit of luck.

  • Albert Einstein

    The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. – Albert Einstein

  • Pasta

    Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?

    Transports me to a time when we  made fresh pasta with my grandma. We also made our own source and salami. Great family times.

  • Nelson Mandela

    Who is your favorite historical figure?

    Out of the night that covers me,

    Black as the pit from pole to pole,

    I thank whatever gods may be

    For my unconquerable soul.



    In the fell clutch of circumstance

    I have not winced nor cried aloud.

    Under the bludgeonings of chance

    My head is bloody, but unbowed.



    Beyond this place of wrath and tears

    Looms but the Horror of the shade,

    And yet the menace of the years

    Finds and shall find me unafraid.



    It matters not how strait the gate,

    How charged with punishments the scroll,

    I am the master of my fate,

    I am the captain of my soul.


    He was captured fighting for freedom and recited this speech every day in prison. He latter became president of South Africa and forgave the people he had him prisoned.

    What a leader.

  • Steve Jobs 1997

    Speech that relaunched Apple

    “To make Apple healthy and prospering again, we have to let go of a few things here. We have to let go of this notion that for Apple to win, Microsoft has to lose,” Jobs said. “We have to embrace the notion that for Apple to win, Apple has to do a really good job. If others are going to help us, that’s great. Because we need all the help we can get…The era of setting this up as a competition between Apple and Microsoft is over.” The ability of Jobs to see the big picture allowed Apple to become the juggernaut it is today and one of the world’s most influential companies.
