16.01.2022 THREE CHEIK(A) POINTS FROM RUGBY WORLD CUP To me Australian Coach Michael Cheika is the Steve Jobs of Rugby with his philosophy about playing the game. What he says applies to anything in life. Yesterday I spoke with an old team mate just back from watching the early games in the World Cup. To loosely paraphrase him, he made three Cheik(a) points that made an impression on me and apparently the players:... 1. Try and learn and improve every day. 2. Winning is important, but don’t focus on it, rather listen to the music inside and express yourself. 3. Put the team first and do everything you can to serve the group. He says what the players and coaches do isn’t a job, rather a passion. All the above points apply to writing as well as anything else we care about. Having said that, life is full of paradoxes. When it comes to having a team you follow in a World Cup semi final, "Winning isn't everything, it is the only thing." Go the Wallabies. Roland Fishman

10.01.2022 Love this story about the All Black culture. As much as I hope the Wallabies beat (smash) them, I really admire their core values and ethos. Particularly how they deal with the "twin imposters of triumph and defeat." Let's hope they get a profound opportunity to deal with the later. Roland Fishman

02.01.2022 NO MAN'S LAND DON'T GET CAUGHT THERE A plot ripped straight from today’s front-page headlines. A Muslim extremist group based in Indonesia plans to launch devastating attacks on Sydney on New Year’s Eve and only one man can stop them: special operative Russell Carter, an Australian version of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher a man of few words but much action. Sunday Age Carter has turned his back on everything he ever believed in and is living the good life, surfing every day and trying to forget his past. However, when an Indonesian terrorist cell tries to kill him - and every other member of the order, he is sucked straight back into the violent world he left behind, and forced to team up with Erina - the only woman he has ever loved, and who he abandoned without saying goodbye.
