Whether we realise it or not, we all live by our own internal codes of conduct.
For example, my personal motto is: "Loyalty above all."
Or "Fidelitas supremus totus" if you're feeling fancy.
In the front of my green organizer, I've handwritten:
"It's a game. Give what you receive. Lead. Praise. Express."
I wrote that when I was 17. It's not left my organizer since. It summarizes the guidelines I live by.
Just a few days ago I stumbled across the "16 Rules for Success in Business & Life in General," from the CEO of GoDaddy.com, Bob Parsons.
These are the rules he lives by... and I personally found them deeply inspiring.
So here they are, sniped straight from Bob's blog:
* * *
1. Get and stay out of your comfort zone. I believe that not much happens of any significance when we're in our comfort zone. I hear people say, "But I'm concerned about security." My response to that is simple: "Security is for cadavers."
2. Never give up. Almost nothing works the first time it's attempted. Just because what you're doing does not seem to be working, doesn't mean it won't work. It just means that it might not work the way you're doing it. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and you wouldn't have an opportunity.
3. When you're ready to quit, you're closer than you think. There's an old Chinese saying that I just love, and I believe it is so true. It goes like this: "The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed."
4. With regard to whatever worries you, not only accept the worst thing that could happen, but make it a point to quantify what the worst thing could be. Very seldom will the worst consequence be anywhere near as bad as a cloud of "undefined consequences." My father would tell me early on, when I was struggling and losing my shirt trying to get Parsons Technology going, "Well, Robert, if it doesn't work, they can't eat you."
5. Focus on what you want to have happen. Remember that old saying, "As you think, so shall you be."
6. Take things a day at a time. No matter how difficult your situation is, you can get through it if you don't look too far into the future, and focus on the present moment. You can get through anything one day at a time.
7. Always be moving forward. Never stop investing. Never stop improving. Never stop doing something new. The moment you stop improving your organization, it starts to die. Make it your goal to be better each and every day, in some small way. Remember the Japanese concept of Kaizen. Small daily improvements eventually result in huge advantages.
8. Be quick to decide. Remember what General George S. Patton said: "A good plan violently executed today is far and away better than a perfect plan tomorrow."
9. Measure everything of significance. I swear this is true. Anything that is measured and watched, improves.
10. Anything that is not managed will deteriorate. If you want to uncover problems you don't know about, take a few moments and look closely at the areas you haven't examined for a while. I guarantee you problems will be there.
11. Pay attention to your competitors, but pay more attention to what you're doing. When you look at your competitors, remember that everything looks perfect at a distance. Even the planet Earth, if you get far enough into space, looks like a peaceful place.
12. Never let anybody push you around. In our society, with our laws and even playing field, you have just as much right to what you're doing as anyone else, provided that what you're doing is legal.
13. Never expect life to be fair. Life isn't fair. You make your own breaks. You'll be doing good if the only meaning fair has to you, is something that you pay when you get on a bus (i.e., fare).
14. Solve your own problems. You'll find that by coming up with your own solutions, you'll develop a competitive edge. Masura Ibuka, the co-founder of SONY, said it best: "You never succeed in technology, business, or anything by following the others." There's also an old Asian saying that I remind myself of frequently. It goes like this: "A wise man keeps his own counsel."
15. Don't take yourself too seriously. Lighten up. Often, at least half of what we accomplish is due to luck. None of us are in control as much as we like to think we are.
16. There's always a reason to smile. Find it. After all, you're really lucky just to be alive. Life is short. More and more, I agree with my little brother. He always reminds me: "We're not here for a long time; we're here for a good time."
* * *
We're not here for a long time... We're here for a good time.
Genius.

Richard Henry Horne is a relatively little-known English poet and critic.
In today's post, I invite you to contemplate possibly the only widely-spread quote attributed to his name:
"'Tis always morning somewhere in the world."
I love that one.
And so let me ask... if you look a little deeper... if you consider it and visualize how the whole world works behind the scenes... and how humanity continues, no matter what... then...
What does this quote mean to you?Labels: inspiration, quotes
The English language holds many curious surprises.
From anagrams to spoonerisms, pangrams to holoryhmes.
(And no, I never remember what each of those things stands for either.)
One of my favourite twists and turn of our great tongue is the palindrome.
A palindrome is a word or phrase that reads the same forwards as it does backwards.
For example:
Tango, O Gnat!
Okay, so Shakespeare it ain't.
But you can start reading the sentence from either end and you'll still end up encountering the exact same letters in identical sequence.
That's a palindrome.
My favourite such novelty however was supposedly created in honour of former US President Theodore Roosevelt.
It's relatively popular -- but if you don't know it (and I'm kind of hoping you don't), then you'll be impressed. Often incorrectly labelled as the world's longest palindrome, here it is...
A man, a plan, a canal - Panama.
This refers to Roosevelt's idea to take over the building of the Panama Canal, perhaps his most famous legacy. This initiative significantly shortened trading journeys between San Francisco, California and New York.
And reading that sentence either backwards or forwards, you'll still get the picture.
Cool, eh? Here's something else to ponder over...Up until 1901, The White House wasn't called The White House!Before that date, they called it The President's Palace, The President's Building -- and even The Executive Mansion. It was Roosevelt that christened it with that now famous name. Send this blog post onto your friends. It's food for the brain!

One very good friend of mine is Hollywood screenwriter, Gloria Stern.
She's very well known in the business - and we mail each other almost every day.
Today, she sent me a little inspirational gem I must share with you.
After discussing an awesome spiritual screenplay that I have yet to write, she gave me a "koan" for 2007.
Now, a koan is a question or story in Zen Buddhism designed to help you let go of the logical part of your mind, and begin relying on intuition.
For example...
"Two hands clap and there is a sound; what is the sound of one hand?"
In her e-mail today, Gloria wrote and said...
>> This is your koan for 2007: How long since you have done something new?
And then I realized that even though I find life incredibly exciting, I'm still heavily tied down by routine and ritual. Which is fine and great, because there's a place for that...
But when - really - was the last time I tried something NEW?
When did I go all out... and push my comfort barrier beyond its current borders?
It really made me think.
And I hope it makes you think too.
So let me ask...
How long since you tried something new?
And perhaps you could think about changing that... even if just for today.
Enjoy! :)Labels: friends, inspiration
So...
... What do you think happens when you die?
... What lessons can we learn from successful entrepreneurs?
... What can we do to make poverty history?
Well, if you don't know yet - then maybe it's about time you should.
And that's where Yahoo! Answers comes in, which has just unveiled it's list of The Best Answers of 2006 (click here to view).
The questions come from everyone, from Stephen Hawking to Donald Trump - and each question comes with its own "best answer", so you get a little insight into what the experts think, too.

I stumbled across this poem from Veronica Hay yesterday, and really wanted to share it with you today.
It's called... "What Do Angels Look Like?"
* * *
Like the little old lady who returned your wallet yesterday.
Like the taxi driver who told you that your eyes light up the world, when you smile.
Like the small child who showed you the wonder in simple things.
Like the poor man who offered to share his lunch with you.
Like the rich man who showed you that it really is all possible, if only you believe.
Like the stranger who just happened to come along, when you had lost your way.
Like the friend who touched your heart, when you didn't think you had one to touch.
Angels come in all sizes and shapes, all ages and skin types.
Some with freckles, some with dimples, some with wrinkles, some without.
They come disguised as friends, enemies, teachers, students, spouses and fools.
They don't take life too seriously, they travel light.
They leave no forwarding address, they ask nothing in return.
They wear sneakers with gossamer wings, they get a deal on dry cleaning.
They are hard to find when your eyes are closed,
But they are everywhere you look, when you choose to see.
* * *
Do you think your life is without angels right now?
And are you SURE?
I used to love watching Highway to Heaven. I'd cry every episode.
How many Jonathan Smith's will you meet in your life today?
Remember... Magic happens everywhere.
Have a fantastic Boxing Day! :)

My dear friends...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Froehliche Weihnachten! Mele Kalikimaka! Sung Tan Chuk Ha! God Jul! Feliz Navidad! Nadolig Llawen! Feliz Natal! Buone Feste Natalizie! Joyeux Noel! Yes, there are many ways to say Christmas. And what does it all really mean? Well -- to me, at least -- Christmas means LOVE.Dale Evans said it best with: "Every time we love, every time we give, it's Christmas." Bob Hope backed her up, with: "My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?" Today, many hundreds of thousands of individuals across our great blue planet are celebrating. It's a great feeling. And why should it stop here?Speaking through the mouth of character Scrooge, Charles Dickens wrote in A Christmas Carol: "I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year." And if Scrooge can do it, everyone can! Remember this moment... and let's keep the love alive!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
... AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT! :)

Ladies and gentleman...
It's CHRISTMAS EVE!!
No matter where you live in the world, and no matter how you celebrate this time of the year, I'd like to offer you my very deepest, warmest wishes for the season.
And I'd like to brighten your day with a few interesting facts about this time of year...
For a start, did you know that Christmas was once ILLEGAL?
No kidding. In 1647, Oliver Cromwell and the British parliament passed a law making all Christmas celebrations illegal. It was considered that feasting on a holy day was immoral. The ban was lifted thirteen years later, in 1660.
But Christmas wasn't even celebrated until the year 440 AD. And it took a long time before it became the holiday period was love and celebrate today.
Take Christmas lights, for example.
For me, lights on a tree are synonymous with Christmas. But who actually came up with the idea?
Well, Thomas Edison invented the light bulb back in 1879. It was just three short years later that Edward Johnson, Edison's assistant, decided to put lights onto a tree for public demonstration. The display was a massive hit... and within a few short years, DIY kits were made available to the public.
But of course, those bulbs were all pretty big.
The whole idea behind a string of small electric bulbs that you wrap around the tree -- similar to the ones we use today -- came back in 1895, from a man named Ralph Morris.
Morris was an American telephone engineer, who had originally invented the lights for use in telephone switchboards. He suddenly had the idea of wrapping them around his tree. The concept took off - and within a couple of years, they were everywhere!
Interesting, eh?
But what would Christmas really be... without a little SNOW?
Strange as it may seem, my home country of England has only ever seen seven white Christmases (despite tales by my late grandpa to the contrary!).
And, officially, it's only had two.
You see, the Meteorological Office in London only defines it a white Christmas when one snowflake falls on the roof of London Weather Centre. That happened once in 1938 and once in 1976.
The other five times it must have just missed.
Now, I really must dash...
And so - from the bottom of my heart - allow me wish you a great day tomorrow.
Whether you're celebrating in Santa Claus in Arizona, in Noel in Missouri, or in Christmas in Florida...
Merry Christmas!

It was some years ago now, on a cold Sunday morning.
I was sat at the breakfast table with my ex-girlfriend, discussing how we could spend the day together.
"Uhm," I pondered. "How about going to the swimming baths?"
At the time, I was living a short drive from the Ponds Forge International Sports Centre in Sheffield, with its log flumes, wave machines and float rings.
"What for?" she replied, slightly bewildered.
"Well.... just to play!"
"I don't play!" she exclaimed. As though "play" was a dirty word.
The relationship ended a couple of weeks later.
Now, I may be getting a little older here, but there's no harm in keeping the inner-child alive.
And that prompted me to ask this question today...
Are YOU treating life way too formally?
Peter Ustinov once said:
"It is our responsibilities, not ourselves, that we should take seriously."
Are you drowning in your own self-importance?
Perhaps your life is feeling way too humourless at the moment?
And even if you're overflowing with joy... WHY NOT push for that extra smile, just for today?
Smile RIGHT NOW! Then pass it on!
Let's change the world today. Who knows what we might affect.Labels: inspiration, quotes, ramblings
A couple of days ago, I attended an evening with the Amazing Bavarian Stompers at Hardwick Hall in Durham. And as the disco played Living on a Prayer, it got me thinking...... At this time of year, the future always seems fresh. It's the end of one long, hard year. It's a time when we put up our feet and relax. A time when we create exciting new plans for how glorious 2007 will be. Maybe you know what I mean.Well, let's fast forward six months. Will you still be feeling quite as excited? Will you still be feeling as content... as wonderful... as eager of the things to come? If you're like most people - including me - then I doubt it. But the real question is: Why not?What if you made a CONSCIOUS DECISION RIGHT NOW to make every day of next year feel as wonderful as this period? Even though life may be busy. And sometimes tough. Maybe you could still inject a little extra happiness, relaxation, ambition and hope into every day of 2007. And just maybe your eyes could sparkle with a little added excitement each and every day. Just to help you along... in the New Year, for one whole year, I'll be posting a little 7-day challenge for you each week. It's up to you whether you accept each challenge. But every suggestion WILL change your life... if only you allow it to. And you know something? I'll follow each and every challenge along with you too. I'll let you know how I get along, if you promise to do the same. Remember: Keep that sparkle bright. And smile! :) It's going to be wonderful.Now, before I go... a couple of snapshots from the evening! Labels: christmas, inspiration, pictures, random acts of kindness
Last week, I spent at least an hour browsing the relatively small self-help section at Borders Gatesehead.
One hour. One section.
Not overly efficient, eh?
Well, there's a new site that's launched which promises to make it all a lot easier.
It's called Wiki Summaries, and -- in true Wikipedia style -- it aims to provide brief, readable summaries of the the world's best (and worst) books.
The site is still in its infancy right now, but it's already hosting a bundle of great summaries in its inspirational self-help section, including:
* Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
* Dream Careers: How to Quickly Break into a Fab Job!
* Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side
* The Fat Smash Diet: The Last Diet You'll Ever Need
* Rich Dad, Poor Dad
Make sure you bookmark the site and monitor how it progresses. Or signup yourself and submit your own book summaries.
Or maybe you just can't be bothered to wait?
Well, in that case... check out this book from a guy that's already done all the hard work.
Tom Butler-Bowdon wrote "50 Self-Help Classics," providing summaries of the best books in the industry.
If you're interested, click here to discover the book at Amazon.com, or click here for Amazon.co.uk.

Today, I'd like to share an inspiring story.
It's all about a blind teenager who's started using "echo location" to help him get around the world.

If you've subscribed to this blog for any length of time, you'll have noticed something.
At least every other day, I post a message designed to inspire.
I've done that for perhaps three months now -- and I have absolutely no intention of stopping.
But what's the point?
I mean, once you've discovered the beauty of life -- and been inspired to be the best person you can -- surely that's enough?
Well, not quite.
Zig Ziglar once said:
"People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily."
That's the reason I post to Karl Blog like I do.
Because everyone needs to be constantly reminded just how magical everything can be.
Not least of all, me.
So thank YOU for giving me the opportunity to keep myself motivated.
And thanks for stopping by and reading today!
Be happy! :)
(Also, a big thanks today to Bradley Thompson and Rebecca Marina, both of whom promoted my blog on Monday to well over 100,000 individuals on their combined mailing lists. Wow!)Labels: blog stuff, inspiration, quotes
In 1992, Sir Peter Ustinov was granted an honoured position within my home city of Durham.
He was officially made Chancellor of Durham University - a position he held and respected until his death in 2004. The university even named a college after him.
And although I regrettably never met Mr Ustinov, we do have something in common.
You see, Peter relentlessly looked on the bright side.
He once said: "I am an optimist, unrepentant and militant. After all, in order not to be a fool an optimist must know how sad a place the world can be. It is only the pessimist who finds this out anew every day."
I often use that quote in daily conversation.
Are YOU an optimist... or a pessimist?
Frederick Langbridge rhymed: "Two men look out the same prison bars; one sees mud and the other stars."
Is it half empty, or half full for you?
Honestly?
Remember, optimism is just a choice. It's a decision to uncover the positive in all circumstances, no matter how unusual the coating.
It's not covering up reality. It's seeing beauty in everything.
In a speech in 1954, another hero of mine -- Winston Churchill -- finished his speech at the Lord Mayer's banquet with:
"For myself, I am an optimist -- it does not seem to be much use being anything else."
Fantastically put.
What IS the point in being pessimistic?
And maybe -- just for today -- you could let go of it.
Enjoy the day! :)Labels: inspiration, quotes
I've discussed The Secret on this blog before.
It's a wonderfully edited docu-film that explores the whole idea that your mind creates its own reality.
It discusses how you can change your thoughts... and thereby change the world around you. It looks at truths behind the Law of Attraction.
And it features many of the individuals I've interviewed online at Self Dev Radio, such as Joe Vitale and Hale Dwoskin.
You see... If I'm totally honest, I wasn't overly impressed by "What the Bleep!?" as this year's supposed "mind-boggling" movie. It all seemed a bit predictable to me, and not overly inspiring.
The Secret however is different.
It's a movie I'd urge you to watch - especially if you'd like 2007 to be different.
And best of all?
It has JUST been released on Google Video FREE of charge... apparently as part of a promotion by producers Drew Pictures.
If you haven't seen The Secret yet, CLICK HERE and watch it online.
I'm willing to bet it'll change the way you look at things, if only for the next few days.
And when the effects wear out, watch it again.
Enjoy! ;)Labels: films, inspiration, self-development, videos

It was apparently Anthony Robbins that came out with this little gem...
"If you do what you've always done,
you'll get what you've always gotten"
And isn't that the truth?
If you continue to do the exact same things you've done over the past year, you can't expect anything to change in 2007.
And are you looking for change, or improvement?
Maybe you are. And very possibly, you're not.
But if you ARE, then maybe it's about time to sit back and seriously think about what you'd like to change in the coming year -- and plot out the next 12 months worth of steps that will take you there.
Anthony Robbins also said...
"You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully."
So... Who are you now?
What would you become, if only you could?
And... Why not?
Think about it. It might just change your life.Labels: inspiration, quotes

In the tech industry, Moore's Law is a well known concept.
It has, I'm afraid to say, nothing to do with me.
Its creator was 77-year old Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, who predicted that the number of transistors on a circuit board, at minimum cost, can double every 24 months.
His predictions have stood the test of time -- and this exponential growth in tech-capability is one of the reasons the world today is moving at a pace never seen before.
And doesn't that just remind you that these days.... life is all about speed.

When was the last time you actually sat back and took a little of what I call "Me Time?"
When did you last invest a few minutes... in yourself?

Do you believe that?

Do you find yourself swimming in Post-It notes?
If you're anything like me, your diary will be filled with scribbles and yellow stickies. And every few seconds, I'm writing yet another "TODO" list.

Well, there's a hot little piece of software that you can download which does the job for you.
It's called "Stickies", and it's basically a digital version of the Post-It note.
You can create as many stickies as you wish -- and set advanced options, such as colour, transparency, even set an alarm with a particular sticky. You can print stickies and include Web addresses and images.

I was sat thinking yesterday evening...
About how many chickens are sold and eaten every single day. In all of the restaurants, in all of the KFC outlets, in all of the supermarkets, in all of the world. Every single day.
We're talking millions here.
And then I remembered a film I'd seen not so long ago.
It was a PETA expose about cruelty to chickens, and the terrible conditions within "battery hen" farms. And I use the term "farm" in the loosest of manners. Most hens never get to see the fresh light of day.
Now... this blog is all about positivity.
When Mother Teresa was asked if she'd protest against war, she declined.
Instead, she insisted on promoting peace.
Think hard about that one.
There's a difference!
In today's blog post, I'd like to share with you two videos that you may find disturbing. They're truthful and honest, but still rather shocking. Conditions in some of these chicken farms are terrible.
But I DON'T want you to as an excuse to sit back and cry about the "pain of it all!"
That's giving energy to the negative.
Instead, take Mother Teresa's approach and simply switch to the positive.
Concern yourself with animal welfare. Take positive actions to help create a more enlightened world. Discover PETA in the US or UK. Make a donation. Sign a petition. Take ACTION.
You can watch the two "battery hen" farm cruelty videos I saw today by clicking here, and here.
And remember... Every journey begins with a single step.

This is the post you knew would be coming.
Because... the season of the soul is upon us.
As I sit here listening to Maria Carey's "All I Want for Christmas", I feel a wave of festive happiness flowing through my body again.
It's the feeling I have whenever I reach the end of the A Christmas Carol (in Muppet, Bill Murray, Alistair Sim, or vanilla flavour). Or when I see my family again after a long journey. Or I view the cathedral in my home town... or new lovers smiling and holding hands...
What do these images invoke in your mind?
And what if you could hold those feelings all year round?
In my blog post today, I'd really like to wish YOU a happy Christmas.
And that comes from a deep place of intense love, with a burst of pleasure and a sparkle of fun. I mean it... I really do.
"Merry, merry Christmas!"
I also have a special Christmas card online right now to wish you my best this season...
Click on the link to view the card. You'll enjoy it ;)
And this Christmas, I'd like to ask you just ONE favour...
If you've enjoyed reading my random thoughts over the past few months, please, please -- read or watch "A Christmas Carol" this year. You can buy the book version for just a few pennies these days, or read it online for free.
It's my favourite Christmas story, without question.
If your heart is closed, or you feel unloved, or you don't even feel that Christmas is really "here" yet, then this book will open you up. I guarantee it.
It'll expand your mind -- and you'll feel the love.
Let this blog be your inspiration.
Again... Merry Christmas. Pass it on x
