Making Room For People
I, like many people, believed I knew everything when I was 16. And naturally, knowing everything meant that I needed no one, so meeting new people in my mind was a case of them getting on side with me because I was going places and they really needed to get involved. I certainly don’t think [...]
A Work In Progress
Yesterday was great fun. My post attracted plenty of heated debate and controversy, as well as some great discussion.
