Bienvenue readers,
Today, despite being Monday has been very relaxed. Lazing in the sunshine and sorting my portfolio for hand in tomorrow. Whilst perusing my work I realised how difficult a task self evaluation can be. Too modest and the true magnitude of your achievement it not truly portrayed. Yet over confidence can be seen as naive and over zealous in such a situation. A difficult task I must say. I continue to battle on with this.
This coming week there are two exams on the horizon. With many of my educated compadrés finishing their years of education and moving on to more luscious pastures. I wish them all the best and will be deeply saddened when they leave. After three years work it is a grand achievement that they should be most proud.
This lead me to thinking whats next for me, well with my exams looming and the London 10Km just around the corner it's hard to look too far in to the future. Training has been going well and having covered the full distance twice I am confident that on the new prosthetic I've been provided with I'm sure to set a new PB (weather and traffic dependent). Not be the stereotypical charitable soul but if you could have a glance at my charity donation page I and all of the people at Children with Cancer UK would be most grateful. - http://www.justgiving.com/Scott-Stevens10000
Something I must draw your attention to; a program produced by BBC Wales discussing the varying degree's of poverty across the South Wales region. I was astounded by the marked differences in the worries of youngsters between the poorer areas and those in the more lucrative communities. Whilst one panel of youngsters were discussing the concerns of their parents not paying the rent, at the other end of the scale some were enraged by being bought the wrong suit for the races. At age 11. It begs the question is snobbery innate or a cultural adaption ? It struck home with me of my current position I'm fortunate to be in and the opportunities given to me as a child. Worth a watch if you have the child. Take home message, take a look around once in a while and appreciate where you are and not down trodden by not being where you would like to be.
In closing in this always testing month of May, filled with exams and the like, when all may seem against you it is important to remain positive and with that positive attitude of achieving your goals, come August you will reap the rewards.
A little ditty of inspiration
Remember remain interesting
Scott
