Black Lives Matter – June 1st 2020

It can be difficult to stand up for a cause so important. You question yourself, your ability and knowledge, if your contribution will even make a difference. When the push back is even stronger, it gets even harder, members of the public, the media and people in authoritative positions who publicly condemn the movement and the […]

New Zealand Cabin Crew & COVID-19

Its been eleven days since my last trip and I’ve only just realised now that my flying career was “suspended” the way it began; on a trip to Johannesburg almost five years ago. Seems poetic and I romanticise it slightly but its actually one of the least popular destinations within our network for a number […]

The Distance Between

The distance between railway tracks, 143.5cm (4ft 8 ½ inches). Why this particular measurement? The first train carriages were built with the same tools as horse drawn carriages. So, why that particular distance between the wheels of the carriage? Because that was the width of the old roads that the carriages had to travel along. […]

The Hundredth Monkey

I recently read a study conducted in 1952. Reliability and the actual occurrence of the study even taking place was called into question, that it may just be a myth. Regardless the study enthralled me and mythical or not I enjoyed it. Here’s the gist of it. Scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropping […]

Generational Gratification

A generation not used to waiting leads to unsettled and anxious hearts. When presents were reserved for birthdays and Christmas, but now if we see something we want we buy it. Because it was there, we had the means, and well, we wanted it. We’re hungry, and that delicious Sunday roast that our mothers would […]

Meant to be Felt – The Range of Human Emotion

Do not have a bad thought about anyone. Do not say bad things about others. Refrain from being negative. Do not get angry at others. Don’t show too much happiness around others (people may misinterpret your feelings). Be positive at all times and wish everyone well. Most important of all, whatever you do, DO NOT […]

This I Believe

This piece of writing is based on the book “This I believe” a compilation of expressions of core principles that govern your life. Try writing something like this. A lesson you’ve learnt, the one rule you choose to live by, something you believe so strongly in. This was such a good read, and there’s definitely […]
