Using wisdom is becoming a popular habit of mine these days. You can almost get what you want if you use the right combination of words! Magnificent!

Wisdom: Having experience, knowledge and understanding together with the power of applying all three with prudence, practicality, discretion and common sense.

Wisdom resides in the minds of the users.

Oh how I love the last line!

Things you do when you are bored at 2 am…

I took an old theme and customized it boasting of the colours of the national flag of Trinidad & Tobago. Only Trinidadians should use Trini Press. Get it here!

You board the plane. You sit at the random seat number on your plane ticket. You meet the wonderful person sitting next to you who has the same 3 flight in transit journey to your destination. You are friend with the person for the rest of your life.

Yes, this is an amazing story, no doubt. (It’s just an example people!) But an underlying point, we normally miss. What if you were given a different seat number? What if you got on another plane? Then you would have never met this person for the rest of you life. Your life will never cross paths again.

Can you imagine all the great/wonderful people you “could” have met in your life?

Congratulations to the Trinidad and Tobago team on qualifying for the FIFA World Cup!

Score: 1 nil to Trinidad
