Before you do anything, think. If you do something to try and impress someone, to be loved, accepted or even to get someone's attention, stop and think. So many people are busy trying to create an image, they die in the process.

For those who have integrity no law is necessary
For those who lack integrity no law is sufficient.

A rugby player - who shall remain anonymous - when asked to comment on the genius of another rugby player:
"I wouldn't call any rugby player a genius. I mean a genius is someone like Norman Einstein."
It is the man of science, eager to have his every opinion regenerated, his every idea rationalized, by drinking at the fountain of fact, and devoting all the energies of his life to the cult of truth, not as he understands it, but as he does not yet understand it, that ought properly to be called a philosopher.
Charles Sanders Peirce
We have come more and more under the dominance of mechanics and sacrificed living humanity to the dead rhythm of the machine without most of us even being conscious of the monstrosity of the procedure. Hence we frequently deal with such matters with indifference and in cold blood as if we handled dead things and not the destinies of men.

In view of the fact that God limited the intelligence of man, it seems unfair that he did not also limit his stupidity.

About Me
- kayakmaster
- I am a masters kayak paddler in Johannesburg, South Africa.
I used to paddle sprints, marathon (including South African style downriver marathon), down river, white water and slalom. Now I only have time to do SA style marathon and club level coaching.
I am a strategic business analyst and software solutions designer and am passionate about serving people through design.
I am (finally, after four painful years) divorced - with young kids (I started late – generally a late bloomer).
I am proud to have co produced a club level kayak technique coaching manual with (our then national coach) Nandor Almasi.
I fired myself from my band and am now learning bass guitar.

To live outside the law you must be honest.
Bob Dylan
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.
Things should be as simple as possible, and no simpler.
For those who have integrity no law is necessary
For those who lack integrity no law is sufficient.
