We often see trust as a black and white concept. We can either trust or not but perhaps considered trust is a mature option. Something to ponder…
Fortune On Four

Geldof Never Set Out To Be A Hero
Who knew that sitting down to watch the nightly news on an autumn Saturday night in 1984 would change the world in six months.
Even More Fast Three

More FAST THREE
Life itself has three parts – birth, life and death. Our bankers ever afraid of fraud created a banker’s 3 with a flat “top” to stop it being changed into an eight. And for those of us who are religious in nature many religions have Triple Gods – The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost, in Christianity and the Hindu Trimurti with Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.
So today again we have three fast, easy to read, potentially life changing ideas to ponder, raise questions and absorb or reject. You won’t be bored.
