Flame on
I hope people predisposed to be cynical about the Olympics drop their guard and open themselves up to enjoying a true community event. Only sport enables nations to come together in peace and celebration.
I was lucky enough to be at Sydney 2000 and the sights of the torch burning high in the sky and the Olympic rings on the Harbour Bridge were spine-tingling.

Po – Beyond Yes and No
I’d always put Edward de Bono in a box of stuffy old thinkers, but I
was prompted to buy this based by a reference to it in a lecture on
creativity by John Cleese.
It’s a very thought-bending book. It could be boiled down to “how to
think laterally by breaking out of the sequential patterns our brains
love”.
It’s a pretty radical manifesto for helping keep our minds open. Recommended.
