22.01.2022 My lecture to the 'younger' - those future leaders we might know and love and any others who would care to listen ... This is a summary of the lecture I would... deliver to school-kids - if the teachers would dare let me enter the classroom. It’s not a talk about university education or getting a degree - rather, it’s a talk about how to do well in life. I have long since embraced these traits myself. My fervent hope is that some of you out there in inter-web land, will also take up the mantle I offer here. Let me share Be Industrious: this is at the top of my list. Someone asks you to do a job, the answer is ‘YES’. I have taught private lessons in the bare frame of my house as it was being built. I have worked for $20 an hour in the morning and $500 an hour in the evening on the same day. of course, I had a paper run when I was a kid; I didn’t want to mooch off my parents. be industrious. Say yes. The answer is yes. Should you be offered this crappy work over that great work do both; suck it up; be industrious. Industrious people get shit done, own more houses, have more money in the bank and have more options later on in life (remember, money equals ‘voting power’ when it comes to making changes in the world). Industrious people are also very often, highly organised, they simply need to be. Being organised is a part of being industrious. Save: put away a portion of your income; then when you can afford it, save more, and then even more; eventually ‘invest’. Put off buying the jet ski now, so you can buy the company that makes them later on. The average person in Australia retires with only $250K in savings. That is not enough. If you end up like most, you’ll have no options, you’ll be mooching off family and friends, you won’t be able to help anyone in need - and you’ll suffer. Bullshit-proofing: learn to see past the veneer of things. If stuff sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The first lesson I learned in this regard, was to not to fall for ‘martial arts’ bull-shittery; and it’s 90% bullshit out there. Don’t fall for the plethora of get-rich-quick schemes on the internet; you will lose money. Something like 92% of people signing up for options and forex trading schemes, for example, lose all their investment within just 90 days; it’s bullshit. Don’t fall for the bullshit - in fact, work on becoming bullshit-proof! Confidence: learn to stand on your own two feet; do your own thinking, don’t follow the sheep; don’t succumb to peer pressure. A confident person doesn’t need others to like them, they do what they feel they should do, and don’t put on an act for the sole purpose of making others ‘like’ them. I found my confidence by taking up martial arts practise. In learning how to fight I developed the strength to walk my own path; I had the courage to say ‘no’ when I needed to; I had the courage to say ‘yes’ when I needed to; and my behaviour became driven from 'within' rather than from the need to ‘please’ or worse, ‘placate’, others. Be Excellent: irregardless of what you do; be excellent. Separate yourself from the pack by going well beyond the ordinary. ‘Good enough to get by’ is the credo of the mediocre. If I am selling chicken poop for a living; I will be the best chicken poop collector, packager, seller and delivery-guy you’ve ever seen. My logo would be awesome; just too awesome to ignore. Just be great. It’s your time that you are spending to do what you do - so make sure to trade that time for the very best version of whatever it is you are doing. Understand the real deal you are making. You’re trading your precious ’minutes’, ‘hours’, ‘days’, ‘weeks’ for the stuff that you are doing. Do it superbly. Vision: learn to see past the bullshit and fakery that surrounds us. Realise that celebrities are generally not worth your time; their lives are most often a complete mess and their function as fake idols is beginning to wear thin as people see them for the manufactured commodities they are. Instead, seek out people worth spending time with; people whose lifestyles, values and successes are in alignment with what you would want for yourself. Time: understand your time is valuable and then you will come to understand that other people’s time is also valuable. It is the one resource, that once used, cannot be reclaimed. Education: seek out the kind of education you need to be able to live the kind of life you want. Generally speaking, school doesn’t give you the best foundation for generating wealth, for example, if that’s what you want. Generally speaking, the same goes for your parents; unless of course, they have been outstandingly successful in that area; most haven’t, so most are not the best people to offer you the right advice. Education is available, sometimes it costs, if you’re very lucky it doesn’t; if you’re extremely lucky, you might befriend someone who can help you, someone with experience and no ‘hidden agenda’; it’s hard to find these kinds of people though; if you do, you’ve struck gold. Bottom line though, it’s up to you. Who you spend time with and how you spend that time, really, really, really matters. Travel: travel is the best way to open ourselves to news ways of thinking and new perspectives on life. By exposing ourselves to the rigours of travel and the idea that other cultures exist that are very, very different from the one we are born into, is a wonderful way to step out of our comfort zones and open ourselves up to new possibilities. Get out and about - it's a big world out there. Luck and control: people will tell you that you 'make' your own luck, although this is true in a sense, it is also true that lots of things (both good and bad) will happen beyond your control. Some things are up to you and other things are not. Some things are within your control and some are not. Luck (often disguised as timing) will play a part in your life. Both ‘good’ luck and ‘bad’ luck’ - make the most of those good opportunities when they arise but also learn that sometimes, some ‘acceptance’ is called for. When you cannot do anything about something (the weather for example) accept it, and try to find ways to make the most of the situation. Lastly, not everyone can become a famous sports star, a millionaire or even find someone to fall perfectly, truly and deeply in love with - there is an element of luck at play in such endeavours - what you can do though, is ‘put yourself out there’, explore, expose yourself to as many experiences as you can- and make the very most of your situation and the opportunities that appear. Be Fierce: life is short; a fraction of a spark in time; that’s all you’ve got. Live fiercely. Love fiercely. Stand in the storm, feel nature, take risks and learn about your authentic self. You need to be fierce to live with integrity; because sometimes it’s going to hurt. Keep your word - fiercely. Living fiercely is the counter-point to feeling sorry for yourself. Remember this - you are what you do when it counts. Here the lecture end-eth. Be well everyone. Even if my readers have this all squared away for themselves - perhaps consider passing it onto someone you care about.

15.01.2022 Dear Spektrum family.. PLEASE NOTE.. Unfortunately our school falls under the NEW government COVID-HYGIENE Marshall, regulation.... Below you will find our Certificate of Completion for our team of COVID-Marshalls. They will be recognisable around the school. We ask that everyone PLEASE remain respectful towards our COVID-Marshalls, and follow ALL requests, at ALL TIMES. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED To help keep our school overhead costs down, and so that our school can remain operating (this is a HUGE financial burden for SMA), we are looking for some Parent helpers to volunteer an hour of their time each class, to assist with being be a COVID-Marshall. If this sounds like something that you could help our school out with, PLEASE let us know, and complete the below COVID-Marshall training course. It takes roughly 30 minutes to complete and is FREE. http://www.covid-19.sa.gov.au/recovery/covid-marshals Once done, please send your Certificate of Completion through to us on: [email protected] We would LOVE to have you onboard. COVID-Marshalls MUST be 18yo+. Kindest regards, Kyley & Coach Sam.

14.01.2022 COBRA KAI SEASON THREE Our family has been hanging out for Cobra Kai S3, for SO long!! NETFLIX will finally be releasing the NEW season, come January 1st..and we cannot WAIT..!!... What are you guys looking forward to, for the New Year?

14.01.2022 As we soon realise when starting Jiu Jitsu, trying something new comes with it’s fair share of unique challenges. We have embarked on a path of self discovery and in facing up to and overcoming each of these challenges one by one, we not only learn and develop a new skill, but along the way find we are capable of much much more than we ever imagined. It is these very same challenges though (many of which we cannot avoid or prepare for until they are actually happening), that... can leave us stepping off the mat feeling beaten and discouraged. We all feel this way sometimes (we are doing something that most people are not doing and it is HARD). But if left unchecked, these feelings can cause us to find excuses to not come to class, take time off, and or abandon our training entirely. Right now, we have a bunch of wonderful new members who have recently begun training in our Adults Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals Class. If you are one of them, take the time to check out this video - It is full of great advice for anyone starting out! And if you’re struggling (with anything at all), know that you’re not alone. Take the time to talk to your coach. https://youtu.be/xpZasMHhDDE
