Things of Interest I have learnt

1. Don't use random 'Boots' brand (the UK pharmaceutical) facewashes. I changed from Clean&Clear facewash to WitchTree facewash, and had to learn the hard way.

2. Don't stress out before exams because placing too high expectations on a paper only makes dealing with it after worse.

3. Tesco's Finest Microwaveable dinners actually taste like real chicken.

4. Amazon.com is a great way to buy CD's. New or Used.

5. Gandhi and his comitment to Satyagraha. Satya is Sanskrit for Truth, and Agraha is used to describe an effort, endeavor. The term itself may be construed to mean any effort to discover, discern, obtain or apply Truth.

'In the application of Satyagraha, I discovered, in the earliest stages, that pursuit of Truth did not admit of violence being inflicted on one's opponent, but that he must be weaned from error by patience and sympathy. For, what appears to be truth to the one may appear to be error to the other. And patience means self-suffering. So the doctrine came to mean vindication of Truth, not by infliction of suffering on the opponent but one's own self.' Gandhi.

6. The sun really does make people smile.

7. The biggest reason for arguments nowadays, whether big or small, is due to the EGO. Everyone doesn't like accepting that they may actually be wrong. If humans had always thought we were right, we wouldn't have discovered electricity, intelligent systems, and everything else basically!

8. Syed and Michelle from the Apprentice have 'something going on' according to Heat magazine...wooooot????

9. There is a major loophole in the insurance of Limited Liability within the Legal framework, which can result in the 'Looting of Society'. I.e. Front loading revenues, Backloading costs and liquidating in the interim.

10. Going to the Gym is GrEaT! but i've been lazy and haven't been in a few days...
