Twitter for GoodMarlon Parker is the founder of a ground breaking NGO in Cape Town, RLabs. He deserves to Nobel Peace Prize for the work he is doing in the Cape Flats using technology for social change.

Network Marketing-It’s an Asset, Not a Job – By Robert Kiyosaki

The Business School for People Who Like Helping People, by Robert T. Kiyosaki, with Sharon Lechter, CPA, authors of Rich Dad, Poor Dad.I am sometimes asked, "Why do so few people make it to the top of their network marketing system?" The truth is, the top of the network marketing system is open to everyone-unlike traditional corporate systems, which allow only one person to reach the top of the company. The reason most people do not reach the top is simply because they quit too soon. So why would someone quit short Read More →

The Fairy Godmother’s Guide To Getting What You Want

The Fairy Godmother's Guide To Getting What You Want by Donna McCallumThe title of this book is so delicious I didn't bother coming up with a different title for this blog post.

Who is this guy who Donna went to for advice ;-) After all she's the fairy godmother, Read More →

Sean Stephenson talking about his book, “Get Off Your ‘BUT’”

What makes this book different? I don't know yet because it's on my to-read list. What I do know is Sean Read More →

Losing My Faith in being a Jehovah’s Witness

Losing My Faith in Jehovah's Witnesses by Robin JacksonThe Jehovah's Witness organisation, also know as the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, has become known as a very secluded and insular organisation.

From Q&A to the Slumdog Millionaire

Arthur Goldstuck told me about the book Q&A by Vikas Swarup. What amused him was that the character's name is Ramon Mohammed Thomas, similar to mine. And that I was on the South Africa version of the Weakest Link around the same time that the book was published. This book is on my to-read list. So it's no surprise to find out the book has been adapted into a film by the name of Slumdog Millionaire. The title character's name has been changed and the story possible shorted for dramatic effect. From Danny Boyle, director of Trainspotting Read More →
