It’s enthusiasm time again. Let me know what you think via twitter at @JamieSmartCom, on my Facebook page, or on my blog here.
1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
I’m a big fan of the Grayson Perry, the English artist / potter / tapestry maker / thinker. I’m currently listening to the audiobook of his ‘Descent of Man’, and he mentions a wonderful quote by Julian Baggini. Here it is:
“‘I’ is a verb masquerading as a noun”.
2. The Insight that’s improved EVERY holiday you’ve ever been on (funny video)
In this 90-second video clip, you’ll hear people in stitches as I reveal the insight that’s improved every single holiday you’ve had in the last decade.
It also demonstrates the extraordinary power of insight and realisation; a power which can transform your own life, and the lives of others. You can watch the video here: https://www.facebook.com/JamieSmartCom/videos/10156530198576528/

3. This week’s glimpse of the future
Gas thrusters stop this Bosch motorbike slipping on corners: Loose road surfaces and oil cause motorbikes to crash and kill riders. Bosch has a new way of keeping bikes, and the fragile humans on board, upright on two wheels using physics and jets of highly pressurised gas – http://www.wired.co.uk/article/bosch-motorcycle-safety
4. Public Speaking – How to Share the Principles with Any Audience
Here’s an excerpt from the Clarity Coach Training programme where several students were in situations where they wanted to share the principles behind Clarity with an audience, but they didn’t understand how it was practical (or even possible) to do so. The subjects they were due to be talking about were as follows:
– Business strategy
– Gut health
– Exam results
The principles behind clarity are present in every human experience so, as you’ll hear, it turns out to be quite a bit simpler than you might expect.

5. This week’s 3 minute miracle
As you may know, I grew up in Canada. As a country, Canada has a kind of ‘little brother syndrome’ in relation to the USA, so Canadians are particularly proud when our fellow Canadians do something particularly excellent. When I was a kid, one of the best examples of this was the band Rush. I once heard bassist and lead-singer Geddy Lee described as having a voice that’s a cross between Robert Plant and Donald Duck. Nevertheless, these guys are superb musicians who wrote much of the soundtrack of my teenage years. Here’s their song, The Spirit of Radio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Tq-UsaRchI
That’s it for this week!
