A lovely extract from this wonderful audio edition of The Further Adventures of the Owl and the Pussycat. 

Gruffalo author, Julia Donaldson, revisits Edward Lear's favourite rhyme in this new story set in a nonsensical land full of adventure. When their beautiful golden ring is stolen, the Owl and the Pussy-cat must travel far from the safety of the Bong-tree glade as their search for the thief leads them across the Sea, to the Chankly Bore and beyond...

Stories For Kids - Traditional Children’s Short Stories

The Fox And The Grapes (Kids Story)

You’ll never rise any higher than your self-identity. And you’ll never move above your personal story. Think you’re meant to be average and your performance will match that belief. Always.

But the truth is that you are the cause and creator of your current life. And the day you decide to master YOURSELF, you begin to master your world.

You'll Never Go Higher Than Your Self-Identity

We live in a world seduced by easy. 

We want to look great and be super fit but we don’t want to have to exercise to get there. We want to be uber-successful in our careers but we wonder if there’s a way to reach world-class without having to work hard and be disciplined (every great executive is disciplined – as is every great company). We dream of living fearless, joy-filled lives but we all too often avoid doing the very best practices (like getting up early, taking risks, setting-goals and reading) that are certain to deliver us to our ideals. Nothing comes for free. The best things in life require sacrifice and devotion. Each of us – to get to our own unique forms of personal and professional greatness – must pay the price. And the more we pay, the more we’ll receive.

Let’s not be seduced into believing that the best things in life come without effort. Give your best, and the best will come to you. Guaranteed.

Part-Time Commitment Yields Part-Time Results

Distraction is the great destroyer of dreams. Why be busy being busy when you're built to inspire the world?

Don't Confuse Activity With Productivity

In a marketplace suffering from what I call in my presentations The Collective DeProfessionalization of Business and in a society struggling with The Mass Mediocritization of Humanity, we absolutely must behold the fiery passion  Steve Jobs has for perfection. One former teammate said that part of his genius was his ability to spot defects instantly. I recently heard that he told his design team everything they produced needed to be “Museum of Modern Art-level quality”. His consumer goods needed to have a legendary UX. All devices needed to function excellently. And everything they touched had to be nothing less than gasp-worthy.

Above all else, I believe, Steve Jobs was a hippie at heart. A man who wanted to release amazing things into the world. A maker who dreamed as few have and relentlessly stayed true to his ideals. Sure he was broken [aren’t we all?]. Yet, at his core, he was a human being who wanted to build a better world.

A Profound Insight on Artistry from Steve Jobs

The majority is caught up in the “relentless release of stuff.”

Most producers rush to deliver many materials rather than investing the time and painstaking care to handcraft a single masterpiece that stands the test of time.

I go into great depth on this pivotal subject in The 5AM Club yet for now please consider this: it’s wiser to make one Fifth Symphony versus many pieces of mediocrity [that never establish domain dominance].
