Hi June. Thank you for your comment. Friends do so much of the real stuff that goes unrewarded or recognised, a bit like parents, and worthy of appreciation.

What happens with the JOBS act Mick??

I guess like all of the payday guys they will end up with the same fraud checks for identity and employment, but good point that I expect today for ex you could post a project on Kickstarter with no basis - and just take the cash (and do they have any recourse)?

Spot on Ian, great post. I remember someone saying it of Betfair, and was how I always thought about Covestor, "after 10 years it was an overnight success"

Sometimes I check our blog, even though I write a good part it, to find out how it is all going :)

Thanks Bob. I hope you get to do it, it is definitely worthwhile taking the time out.

Also really appreciate your comments on the blogging - I find it hard sometimes to keep the motivation up (or feel somewhat dismissive of my own content) but particularly rewarding when valued by a great blogger like yourself...Hope all is well there

You need to blog Bimal. I tend to mostly just rehash stuff you tell me anyway :)

Thank you Bob. It isn't too challenging travelling with the little ones - I think people over think it, and a baby in particular is v portable.

Will do our best to keep it updated and thanks for the encouragement. All the best

I really hope you do Mick. Genuinely. Think you particularly would get so much from it, and the kids would love. Thanks for leaving a comment

Thanks Bob. There is absolutely nothing rational about it, and somehow even knowing that doesn't help.

You are right that it isn't something to be ashamed of, although I know it can feel it. Those places are dangerous - typically one is responding more to the signs of danger in yourself (in your breathing or body) more than the situation. I think many people share it although not often voiced so as always appreciate you stopping by to share your own experience

Thanks for stopping by. I know how you feel - particularly coming out of nowhere...

I think it is just about exposure and challenging the thinking. Really feel for you. Best of luck with the hypnosis!

Dad. You are completely biased, but I appreciate it. Thank you xx

perryblacher — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 12:28:04 -0000

I am with you Bob. Public Speaking I hugely enjoy and can't see the fear in - we are all the same but so different
You are spot on btw. A big part of it is I really don't want to pass it on to the kids. That is the main concern. Definitely don't want to be overly concerned when they are up there, and worry about them sensing sense my fear. That is encouraging to hear yours are all grown up and generally good with it.The exposure is going fairly well. They all say it works, but it definitely isn't the most enjoyable thing I have ever done (not least in this biting cold)Thank you for leaving the comment. I am sorry to hear you have it too but gives me some heart. All the best for the New Year to you and yours. ...Perry

Thx Sasha. It is a strange thing isn't it. I am sure you were great, and particularly at a wedding no one will be anywhere close to as critical as you will have been. It is always reassuring to know, even though one does at heart, that actually the people who don't suffer from anything are in the greater minority...

Be well

Thanks Bob. I will try. Definitely find lack of worthwhile things to write about a challenge. It is a good point to just let it come.

Hope you and yours are all well. If we don't speak before all the best for 2012

Re: 6 Things I Wish I Had Learnt As A Child

perryblacher — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 17:56:42 -0000

Bob, thank you. I wish someone had taught me to stop changing my mind.. Your mother sounds like a wise lady.

I appreciate you stopping by, and the kind words. We are still in London right now, will be off to the other side of the world early in the New Year.

I hope that all is well with you and yours!

With best wishes
Perry

Mick, I love that comment. Thank you

The one about important decisions from intuition particularly I have always found to be true.

It is reassuring that the Mishna suggests we get there from 40. I guess there were equally things I was convinced were true when I was young which have turned out not to be the case, wish i had kept a record of that list too.

Thank you Bob. Yes, I am not sure he knows quite what he is in for but he will be great at it. Hope all is well your end.

Thanks Bob. Yes. as you say it may just be perception but does often seem to work out that way. I totally agree by the way re annoying 'life is short' campaign. I remember someone once said to me what bollocks it was 'what do you ever do that is longer than life??' :).

I was trying to recently to think about after 40 odd years what I have really learned that I wish someone had told me when I was younger. Posting about these sort of lessons is more selfish than anything as I find it valuable to remind myself, perhaps content for a future post.
