Publisher's Synopsis
A collection of writings (in point form) on various subjects to help the every man or woman survive in a rapidly changing, uncertain world after the easy living and prosperity of the seventies and eighties, (especially for me living in South Africa under apartheid)."I find the concepts in this book useful in my own life."- Birgitta (Minerva Press UK)CONTENTSChapter OneSUCCESSMOTIVATIONATTITUDESELF IMAGESETTING GOALSMANAGING STRESS... and so onABOUT THE AUTHORCraig Lock was born in Cape Town, South Africa where he spent most of his life. He graduated from the University of Cape Town (UCT). Since then has been working in the corporate world in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. He is presently living in the slow lane in New Zealand with his twin boys, where they have been for the past six years. They live in a small town where from his perspective nothing very much happens (but don't say that to the locals!) - the reason why Craig has been able topursue a "career" in writing full-time for the past year. Dream on!!His works include a novel about South Africa and his latest epic describing his efforts to be a tourist as he bumbles around Europe in his youth ...creating chaos and mayhem. He has also written a more serious book about stress and another, at times humorous, book about money management, drawing on his many years in this field. He has also written articles for magazines. He is a sports fanatic/maniac and an avid traveller. This is his first book to be published."I'm gonna fly from my cocoonAnd put my footsteps on the moon.All I've ever hoped to beIs free to be that person... me!"AnonI would also like to thank my dear parents, Ray and Hazel for sacrificing so much for my education and instilling in me an inquiring mind. I would like to thank my wife Marie for introducing me to reading. Before I met you, I never read much at all. So you have helped open up a whole new world to me. Also thank you New Zealand, a beautiful and tranquil country, for giving me the peace of mind away from the stresses of daily living in big cities - to think clearly enough to write this manuscript.This work is dedicated to my dear boys Gareth and Sean who have brought me so much happiness. Thanks Marie for the time and effort you put in.But especially my heartfelt thanks for hopefully allowing me to find my niche in life...at long long last.Gisborne, New ZealandAugust, 1993
