I was thinking about blogging again whilst driving the bus today. In fact I seem to spend a lot of time thinking about the Masterclass course and where it might eventually lead me.

One of the main influences on my life since starting the course is reading “The Go Giver” I am currently reading the sequel “Go Givers Sell More”; another fantastic read for anyone who hasn’t read it. I say a sequel but in fact instead of being a follow on story it is more about how to put the 5 principles into practice. I will endeavour to do a more detailed review in a subsequent blog.

Back to my day driving and I started thing about how much technology has moved on as I mentioned in my “Thoughts for Today” blog. So much so that apart from my wonderful family who obviously are the most important people in my life, the one gadget that I need most is my mobile phone.

I still call it my phone but it is so much more. My Samsung Jet touch screen phone wakes me up in the morning. Whilst having a cup of tea and breakfast (if I have time before work), I use my phone to see what my friends on Facebook have been up to, before checking my Gmail account and catching up on the latest news and sport on the BBC website. If I have any important calls to make or things to do the calendar will remind me. I have loads of photos of my 3 year old son Finlay and impromptu videos recording him growing up. I can listen to my favourite radio shows; especially Chris Evans and Steve Wright on Radio 2 or listen to my favourite tracks on the music player.

So apart from all of the above and the calculator, currency and measurement converter, notepad and voice recorder I can still make phone calls and send text messages.

That reminds me. I must back all that data up onto my PC and then to my external drive.

Keep on blogging!
