I hope that those of you that celebrate the New year had a good time. It seems that firework displays are becoming the way capital cities bring in the New year and some are spectacular.
According to the RAC, a motor breakdown service in the UK, today will be one of their busiest as many people have not used their cars for a week or more. It never ceases to amaze us Boxers that with all this technology to be found in cars today it still relies on a battery to get is all going. According to the boss(he) the only advances in batteries seems to be the cost and less maintenance, yet they still only last three years or four; if your lucky. Why?
The weather here is due to change from mild to snow in the next day as temperatures drop. Snow brings with it all sorts of problems, not least the roads and railways seems to grind to a halt, if the falls are heavy.Boss(he) seems to remember when he lived in Finland where the snow falls were heavy that there was disruption for the first day. After that everyone seemed to adjust and services were restored and life returned to normal for the rest of the snow season.
Well, that's two challenges for 2008. Advances in car battery technology to have a prolonged life and be recyclable. In the UK a better system to accommodate snow without disruption. Both I am certain are achievable with a plan of action. Which brings me onto those New Year resolutions. Have you formulated your plan. What changes to your habits and behaviour are necessary for you to succeed?
My web site has been tested and is now ready to go. What do you suggest as a good hosting service? I have asked this before but got very little useful feedback so come on lets have some suggestions?
My best wishes to all humans and may this year begin a change to the way frustration is expressed. Less violence and more awareness. We boxers are amazed at how people can get so violent when driving their cars. Road rage, which has resulted in people being killed. Why? It's a habit that becomes part of human makeup. Violence is an instant gratification for a moment when frustration takes over. Yes there is injustice, unfairness and other actions that lead humans to feel they are not in control, but is frustration expressed as violence the answer? Of course ranting at someone who changes direction without indicating or carves you up is frustrating. But loosing your temper is an indication that some meaning to the action has been internalised to create the reaction. If you pay less attention to the action or even dismiss it then you are changing the reaction and if you persevere you change the habit. Outcome, less stress and you still get to where you where going and feel better for it.
Have a good start to 2008.
