24.01.2022 I sold my house, packed my bags, left Singapore and took up an Australian bricklaying apprenticeship back in 2008. Now I am a qualified Trainer & Assessor... living and training bricklaying students in Perth. All this happened because I have chosen and did the right course. I'm sure this is the best adventure of my life and now I would like to share my experience with you! If you want to know more on how I successfully migrated to Australia just comment "more info" into the box below or pm me and I will get back to you as soon as possible. . . #internationalstudents #studyabroad #education #bhms #studentlife #students #studyinaustralia #student #college #educationalconsultants #studyabroadlife #trade #skill #tradeskill #stephenthngaustraliacampuslife * Photo taken from Everthought College Of Construction fb page

21.01.2022 This is what an injured bricklayer wrote on his insurance form after he tried to move 500 pounds of bricks from the top of a fourth story building to the ground below: It would have taken too long to carry the bricks down by hand, so I decided to put them in a barrel and lower them by a pulley which I had fastened to the top of the building. After tying the rope securely at the ground level, I then went up to the top of the building. I fastened the rope around the barrel, lo...aded it with the bricks and swung it out over the sidewalk and untied the rope, holding it securely to guide the barrel down slowly. But since I weigh only one hundred and forty pounds, the five hundred pound load jerked me from the ground so fast that I didn’t have time to think of letting go of the rope. And as I passed between the second and third floors, I met the barrel coming down. This accounts for the bruises and lacerations on my upper body. I held tightly to the rope until I reached the top, where my hand became jammed in the pulley. This accounts for my broken thumb. At the same time however, the barrel hit the sidewalk with a bang and the bottom fell out. With the weight of the bricks gone, the barrel weighed only about forty pounds. Thus my 140 pound body began a swift descent, and I met the empty barrel coming up. This accounts for my broken ankle. Slowed only slightly, I continued the descent and landed on the pile of bricks. This accounts for my sprained back and broken collar-bone. At this point, I lost my presence of mind completely and let go of the rope and the empty barrel came crashing down on me. This accounts for my head injuries. The last question on the form says, What would you do differently if the same situation arose again? The bricklayer simply wrote, Please be advised that I am finished trying to do the job alone. - extracted from better life coaching blog Moral of the story : DO NOT DO IT ALONE! Some of us might think we can but the reality is "The bigger the task, the more we require the unique strengths of others to help and to provide encouragement along the way" and we must recognize that these people will appear to us in different forms, shapes and colours.

10.01.2022 Heard of this story before? A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag’s side door! He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown.... The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That’s a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it? The young boy was apologetic. Please, misterplease, I’m sorry but I didn’t know what else to do, He pleaded. I threw the brick because no one else would stop With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. It’s my brother, he said. He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up. Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me. Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. Thank you and may God bless you, the grateful child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message: Don’t go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention! What do you think? Is covid19 here to slow our pace down?
10.01.2022 Who would have thought he can build something like this when he first started out laying bricks? Do you want to build one yourself? #workinprogress #brickart #confidence #skill #basicbrickskill

01.01.2022 A customer asked me how much it cost to do this job.... I answered him: $ 1500 He said: So expensive for this job? I asked: How much do you think it would cost you? He answers me: $ 800 maximum... That's a pretty simple job right? !"... - For $ 800 I invite you to do it yourself. - But.... I don't know how to. - For $800 I'll teach you how to. So besides saving you $700, you'll get the knowledge for the next time you want - It seemed right to him and he agreed. - But to get started: you need tools: A welder, grinder, chop saw, drill press, welding hood, gloves etc... - But I don't have all these equipment and I can't buy all of these for one job. - Well then for another $300 more I'll rent my stuff to you so you can do it. - Okay, he says. - Okay! Tuesday I'm waiting for you to start doing this work - But I can't on Tuesday I only have time today. - I'm sorry, but I'm only available Tuesday to teach you and lend you my stuff. Other days are busy with other customers. - Okay! That means I'm going to have to sacrifice my Tuesday, give up my tasks. - I forgot. To do your job yourself, you also have to pay for the nonproductive factors. - That is? What is this?" - Bureaucratic, tax, vat, security, insurance, fuel etc. - Oh no!... But to accomplish these tasks, I'm going to spend more money and waste a lot of time! - Do you have them? You can do it to me before?" - Okay! - I'll make you all the material you need. Truck loading is done Monday evening or Tuesday morning you'll have to come by 6 loading the truck. Don't forget to be on time to avoid traffic jams and be on time - At 6??? Nope! Too early for me! I used to getting up later. ... - You know, I've been thinking. Y ' all better get the job done. I'd rather pay you the $1500. If I had to, it wouldn't be perfect and it would cost me a lot more. When you pay for a job, especially handcrafted, you pay not only for the material used, but also: - Knowledge - Experience - Study - Tools - Services - Time to go - punctuality - Accountability - Professionalism - Accuracy - Guaranteed - Patents - Sacrifices - Safety and security - Payment of tax obligations No one can denigrate other people's work by judging prices. Only by knowing all the elements necessary for the production of a certain work can you estimate the actual cost. I did not write this dialogue, but am sharing it to support craftsmen and entrepreneurs.
