by David Ferrers

If you have ever noticed someone doing something really well and thought to yourself, I would love to be able to do that, it means that you have a belief that excellence is wonderful.

Why I Have to Make Some Changes

by David Ferrers

Albert Einstein put it very eloquently when he said: “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Just back from a training trip to India and I’ve got a whole lot more work to do.

If One Person Can Do It, Anyone Can Do It

by David Ferrers

Note this presupposition does not say that everyone has the same natural ability to do what other people do.
