Masks of Insecurity
We wear masks to cover our feelings of insecurity. We don't allow others to see the real you as we don't wish to be easily hurt. Yet sometimes, it's important to take off our masks so that the world can really see who we are. Only when we're working from our authentic, honest and sincere selves can we do this. That is our challenge in life.

Love Rescued
Boy is frustrated with things in his life. He loses his temper with his girlfriend. A pamphlet girl throws a flyer folded into a paper plane at both the girl and boy.

Passion

Making Self-Change
The change factor. How do you lead strategic change? Well, let's start first with something much closer to home. You. Yes, you.

The Child in You
To be a child again and to enJoy life in all of it's joy and challenge. To play, and to play with all out abandon. What a feeling that is. At one of the shopping centres, they had these huge round plastic balls that youngsters could climb inside, then the balls are pumped full of air, and the kids run like crazy as the ball floats on water. What if we energise our focus and put...

Passionate Musician
I usually have my small point-and-shoot Sony camera with me, and I captured a teenage girl playing the Pei Pa, which is a Chinese mandolin instrument.
