INVISIBLE MADEMOISELLE

BACK to the point we go, and in keeping with the theme of this blog I'm going to relay to you a few snippets of information that I have learnt this week. 

ONE] The Mind controls the Body (and not the other way round) - Is this another obscure Coldplay Album Title? It most
           certainly is not; rather the most important thing I've ever written down [with exception obviously;  "i<3 chips" =
            important] .  Whilst most of us hear this in passing, making a slight nod of acknowledgement in reply,
           these words have the power to revolutionize our lives [or so Google tells me].  I'm not suggesting we all become
           monks and make appearences on reality TV shows because we can dry wet towels on cue with the heat we
           have summoned through meditation [this is absoutely possible and has happened- apparently], rather that we
           all [and by that I clearly mean me] think about what we could really do if we took some notice of the potential of
           our minds.  My research into this topic led me to something fashioned by Napoleon Hill called The Invisible
          Counselor Technique [full details of which are found in his first-of-a-kind self-help book Think and Grow Rich
          (1953)]. This technique basically allows your mind to leave the boundries of your own life and review your 'situation'
          [whether you be a complulsive doughnut eater or a gymnast afraid of lycra] through the eyes and thoughts of other
          people who have characteristics you admire and would like to steal [ultimately]. 
          Do not however attempt this if you:

                    a] think you might be the slightest bit mentally unstable [Someone walking in to your room whilst you're
                          discussing  anger management issues with Ghandi would be sufficient ammunition] and/or
                    b] your heroes include Charles Bronson and Kermit the Frog [no one likes a murdering green muppet with a
                         moustache]

This is how he scared away the police.

      Of course I agreed to try this [so can you, if you just click HERE ], and whilst it might sound like a load of spat, all I'm
       going to stay is that last night Coco Chanel told me to carry on writing this blog, and who am I to protest?

TWO] The French are the world's most radical feminists as of 12th January 2012.
            Yes, the term 'Mademoiselle' [that's 'Miss' to the rest of us] is no longer allowed to be used in the town of
            Cesson- Sevigne as the mayor believes that in enforcing this change he is helping 'eliminate discrimination'
           ( BBC NEWS ).
            Wonderful.  Now the town is a better place with the criminals [who seizing this opportunity to do what they do best
            whilst the governing bodies spend their time in crafts classes making badges with the word 'Mademoiselle'
            crossed out in furious red] now being called Madame Le Thief instead of Mademoiselle le Thief on their papers
            of arrest at the station.

Money well spent

A successful week of learning and It's not even Friday.
