Davo’s weird outlook on life

​I thought long and hard about the title because this subject covers many different answers. What is motivation?  It can be a spur, an incitement, a reason to perform better or just do whatever job you have at a higher level than before after a tough day. Who motivates then,? We all do to each other, cash is king, greed is good stock market,  We finish at 1600 if we empty all the bins before! I will make more tips than you! Now beat this! Sounds motivating but things can be easier in life than a wager or a countdown. Try thank you or well done, positives that’s make a person smile and feel warm inside. Recognizing a worth can give instant approval to another without counting your cents or order form  I think that motivation comes from within. your colleagues and peers can challenge you and it’s good to listen but if it ain’t in your way to improve in whatever job in life then best lie down and have a big think! Because if you can’t motivate yourself then who else might bo...

​ ​ Otis Reading wrote Respect. Aretha made it a world wide hit! Both gave us a song that was so full of hope that we could all possibly love our fellow human being. isn't it better to not fight, start a war, criticize a person, beat them down, ignore, tread over. we are all surplus to requirements on this planet so let's treat others with a respect we might be afforded ourselves. Why be negative when positive feels better both ways. But positive only so far. living in Holland these past 20 years, it started with the free loving parents of the 70's/80's letting their children do what they want, running around whatever and never a bad word to them. 20 years later, new generation children being taught nothing about politeness, please, thank you.. no basics being taught anymore, the kids rebel against anything, hey, new protest lets go cause trouble... I was taught right   and wrong from an early age, wrong then punishment for me. An earlier generation I accept but wouldn...

As football fans what is more important, your league club or your national club? I’ll use arsenal as an example Does it depend on which team is doing better or is it arsenalll till I die, got the tatts and everything.. It is a very c’mon gunners but as the season progresses and a World Cup on the horizon in November, can you change easily to a c’mon Kane? How does total, undying support become something else? Does supporting the English team give in to peer pressure or do you give the bs answer, “ just wanna see saka do well!” My answer is support both your team and your nation.  We all wish glory for our appropriate lives so let’s win together. A mention for all those opposite fans that come in to see another team lose rather than see their own win.. Get a life! It’s boring.  Support your team first and foremost!

 I. As an English speaking society we somehow expect a please and thank you. But other countries will always have different sayings,  languages, expressions and no experience of these two most pleasing words while they travel in Europe and beyond might be heard. Certain countries have raised their  English until they not only can order a pie, fries and beer but actually interact and become more. Best example, if you can make a joke in your second language then the understanding of the language is proficient. A joyful faced Russian, spending too many troubles from his hard earned wage might just order with an ugh An American group, old and sweet as hell will only say “do you serve food” or an ambiguous “are you open.. serve them (if they are not sitting at the bar already and it high how are you. Not the info you need so replied with a customary good, fine etc whilst you need to pay the rent and want them to just order before you serve the next table. Then it happens…your ...
