Because It’s Hard

7th August 2014

Winding road with quote 'Because It's Hard'

Every morning I walk up a steep hill in Manchester called Jutland Street. I mean really steep. The road is maybe only 60-70 yards long but it must gain a good 20 yards in height. We’re talking San Francisco steep here.

Honesty Is Nothing To Be Afraid Of

19th June 2014

Man staring out of a panoramic window with 'Honesty is nothing to be afraid of' quote

“Honesty is nothing to be afraid of”.

Why are you so afraid to be honest? Why do you hide behind a facade, terrified to let anyone see the real you?

Curiosity Killed The Cat, Not the Human

12th June 2014

A railway track disappears into the mist with 'Curiosity kills the cat (you're a human, you should be OK)' quote

“Curiosity killed the cat (you’re a human, so you’re probably safe).”

Curiosity may have killed the cat (I can’t confirm or deny), but I find it interesting that so many people use the experience of that solitary feline to limit their behaviour.
