What Really Matters

August 30, 2005 Michael General, Work-Life Integration (and wellness) 2 Comments

What Really Matters NowA man died ‘in my arms’ this past weekend. After 20min of CPR on the beach we managed to get his pulse and breathing back momentarily – but it was shortlived. By the time the ambulance arrived, he’d been pulseless for too long. Just an hour before, a father, mother and daughter were enjoying some quality time on their boat – when it accidentally flipped and suddenly their whole world imploded. His tragic passing brought a simple truth to light for me again: Yes, life’s short (we’ve all heard that before) – but you never know just how short it’ll be … so do what matters.

Make that call, pay that visit – you know what’s really important … please do it.

    Life changes in a moment. This reminder helps us to remember how precious those are that we love and are close to. Make that call today. Let this man’s life bring love to those around you. It will not bring him back but it may help us bring life to those we love.

Twitter 10 Billion – quality not quantity

In the last few hours the 10 billionth tweet was tweeted on Twitter. As one would imagine there was all kinds of hype and excitement, as Tweeps with the necesary skills attempted to predict the time it would happen, and I imagine even be ‘the one’?

Gen Y are not a pushover

Miranda Devine is a Sydney Morning Herald columnist, and recently wrote an excellent piece on Australia’s Gen Y (young people now in the teens and early 20s). She had just witnessed a group of 400 of them grilling Kevin Rudd, the Aussie PM – and they had given him a rough time.
It’s well worth [...]
