You and I will not agree on everything, I happen to think that kids falling over is funny…but you may be above that level of humor and not find this quite so hilarious.

We will differ on many thing, however, I believe we can all agree that the holy grail of personal traits is to have the ability to be almost instantly liked by almost anyone you come into contact with – To be a Chocolate Coated, Sprinkle Covered, Irresistable Social Supermagnet. Yes? I thought so.

This post will teach you how to be just that. No really, seriously. I am not kidding. You believe me right? Ok, well it will, promise.

As much as I enjoy the inspirational epic of a film that is “Forest Gump”, I believe that comparing life to “A Box Of Chocolates” because, as Mr Gump so eloquently puts it, “You never know what you are going to get” is fundamentally flawed. Wait wait, let me explain, put down the pitch fork.

This will also be my last post for a week or so as I am off exploring again. Will return to blogging a week next Tuesday, try not to look too disappointed. I know, there there.

This is a post inspired by TED.com’s ingenious section that I hope someday to be on, even if I have to make an uninvited guest appearance and run like a demented would be stripper across the stage and into the gentle waiting hands of security.

I have spent a good sized wedge of today listening to the incredible short video clips of amazing individuals from all walks of life and the ideas that they have developed to solve the problems that they have encountered in the world. Most of these individuals are ordinary people that have used their own unique creativity, experiences and talents to make real and lasting change in hundreds of thousands of peoples lives.

I would put out the challange to you that, if they can do it, why can’t you?

It’s guest post round up time kids.

Now some astute readers may peer through this smokescreen I am putting up and see a blatant, and frankly abysmal excuse by yours truly for not writing a proper post….and you would be right.

I have been having an awesome time in the last few days and have neglected to write a decent post of even borderline quality, and as it happens my reserves of upcoming posts are dwindling horribly.

I lost today and at some point in your life, like the bad guys in a James Bond movie, you will lose too.

This unfortunate ass beating, in addition to giving me a red behind, got me thinking about how to be a loser, and more importantly how to be a better loser when life requires it. (Life never really requires you to be a loser, but in some cases it is unavoidable, much like stampeding moose)

So why do I bring this up and where do I have the guts and gall to call you a loser too? Read on to find out my inquisitive reader.

In addition to chocolate covered marshmallow, I am a great believer in having structure in life, and systems in place that allow you to work and function effectively.

Like a strong wind or a forced piggy back from a friend, structure will take you to where you have set your sights on the horizon.

However, I am not a stickler for structures and from time to time, like custard filled balloons, I will quite happily throw them out a 6th Story window when an altogether more powerful animal comes knocking.
