"Grand as 'owt!"Posted by wayne in Untagged   |

Recently I was running a 2 day motivational course in Yorkshire. On Day 1 we had discussed how important it can be to recognise the importance of recognising the good people and the good things that exist in our daily lives and squeezing what good we can out of each day, because we don't know exactly how many we have left. With the average life expectancy in the UK currently at about 29,000 days. and me at 56 years of age, I don't do the maths.
On the morning of Day 2 delegates were handing in their overnight 'homework' to each other. (Don't worry the homework is good fun and can be really impactive) One delegate described how, on her way in she was stood in her local newsagents and an old guy, well into his 80's, was buying his newspaper when the newsagent asked how he was. His reply was priceless in the light of what she had been thinking about on the course. He said "Grand as 'owt thanks, I woke up - so I've got another one!"
The lessons in life surround us, it's just a matter of keeping our radar up. I love this stuff!
