How To Get Over It!

Alister from South Dunedin

LOVE this quote! Found it on instagram this morning. To me it means what one might do with their pain πŸ˜©πŸ€•. We've all felt hurt πŸ₯ΊπŸ˜­πŸ€§ or angry 😠😀😑🀬 in reaction to behaviours from others - teachers 🍎, parents πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦, friends πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ€β€πŸ‘©πŸ», school kids πŸ‘©β€πŸŽ“, bla bla. We all have choice 🧠☯. I suppose some never come to realise that and might end up burning down the village! Believe me I get it! I feel like personal development has been the difference maker in my life - the saving grace πŸ‘ΌπŸ™. There have been times πŸ•—πŸ•Ÿ when I have felt very much like "burning down the village"🏠πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ !! Yet the desire to go down a path that didn't lead to prison πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ was stronger than my hurt and I worked through my feelings over many years πŸŽβš–. I was driven by the desire to not feel the way I was feeling anymore. I wanted peace and happiness - BOOM.

Automation (or the β€œunpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
