Ange had a major back operation to insert supports into 5 bones in her spine on Monday 11th Jan. She got through it quite well and although she is still under 24 hour surveillance by the squad from intensive care she is in her own, normal room where she can control things, like opening the window to get cool.
A chunky breakfast of bacon and egg did not go down well. In fact, it came straight back up again. However, the positives are stacking up.
Ange is catching up on her sleep. A lighter dinner of fruit and yoghurt stayed down and was delicious. The pain is a fraction of what it could have been.
Ange has a new back! So she is steppin’ forward to a new life!

My first Gem of the Week is Moir and Jessel’s “Brain Sex”.
This makes the case that male and females enter into the world pre-mapped to respond and act differently due to the simple fact that male brains are constructed and wired differently to female brains at (and before) birth.
It also relates the areas that are different due to this biology.

My pick of what I took in last month is Howard Gardner’s “Frames Of Mind: The Theory Of Multiple Intelligences”.
There is so much more to success than mere education or IQ, so I’m glad Howard thinks along the same lines.
The book comes up with seven different types of intelligence.
- Language. The ability to learn new languages. Or use words to great effect.
- Logic. Maths. Science. IQ.
- Music. Rhythms. Pattern. Composition. Sounds,
- Bodily. Stretching the limits. Actors, gymnasts, sporting excellence.
- Seeing how it will look. From interior design to sculpture to architects.
- Interpersonal. The ability to understand other people.
- Intrapersonal. The ability to think deeply and understand oneself.
I think I can cut Howard’s list of 7 to just 2. Forget the other 5, what are the 2 you really need for success?

“On the whole I think it is fair to say that human history is a record of the ways in which human nature has been sold short. The highest possibilities of human nature have practically always been underrated. Even when ‘good’ specimens, the saints and sages and leaders of history, have been available for study, the temptation too often has been to consider them not human but supernaturally endowed.” Abraham Maslow, The Farther Reaches of Human Nature, 1971.
It’s an interesting view considering how many authors had previously studied successful people to try to distil the secret of success.

Those who have finished by making all others think with them, have usually been those who began by daring to think with themselves.
