Week 3- Hook In

Well it's moving quickly as usual. Time never stops to smell the roses. When you're young time is a snail, when you pass, say 30 years, it suddenly becomes a rocket you can't catch. Still, not much one can do about that. I was lucky to have done some shopping around as I was looking for Wolfmother's first CD, I saw it for $25.00 at a store then waited and checked out a second store near where I live and got the exact CD for $10.00, how good was that? Anyway this blog is at the moment about communication skills, the power of communication and the opportunities provided by effective use of communication skills to get what you want out of life. It's all easy on paper, it's just so frustrating to get what you want in the real world. That's a problem, nay a reality that has to be faced, theory and practise are distant cousins and regardless of information provided do not give much in the way of peace when it comes to getting stuck in at the coalface. Suck it up or as they say, "Welcome to the suck." It was reported that someone at 6 RAR at the Battle of Long Tan in August 1966 said, "...hook in.." meaning this is it, just do your job and get it done. Easier said than done, still it makes sense that the concept of working towards a goal requires one to 'Hook In', it is a simple but powerful message. The situation looks bad but if you don't get out there and fix it yourself it will get worse. You have to admire courage in the face of indeterminate odds.
