LEWIS HAMILTON - CANADIAN GRAND PRIX : WIN AND DEDICATE TO MUHAMMAD ALI?

-



Having recently had his first Grand Prix win in the 2016 Formula 1 season, Lewis Hamilton is back on  the track tomorrow, to compete for the Canadian Grand Prix. Canada has, over the years been good to Hamilton and has awarded his track mastery with several wins.

 Success, it is said, feeds on itself and breeds further success, which is something Hamilton will most likely use to fortify himself, as he psyhe up himself for tomorrows race.  Yet, repeated success can also makes a person arrogant and complacent, which, arguably, Hamilton might have been, towards the end of the 2015 Formula One season, and which might or might not have cost him the momentum to launch himself into the 2016 season.
Hamilton's fans and many of us who enjoy Formula 1 races would be buzzing if he were to add another Canadian F1 race to his already increasing tally. However, if he is to do so, he will be going some way to placing himself in a winning frame of mind, by removing any build up of arrogance and complacency from his mind, and let quiet contemplation and stoical determination and clear thinking predominate over his preparation for and execution of the race.
However many successes a person has achieved in the past, none of them, collectively or individually, will cause him/her to have to put in less effort into achieving the success which has not yet been won.

 This is partly because the past cannot, or, if you prefer, never be recreated in its entirety, and, even if it could be, one cannot entirely predict the precise circumstances, including the ratio of luck versus skills and experience which shall pertain, in an event which has not yet taken place.

 Having said all that, how great it would be, if Hamilton were to win the 2016 Canadian Grand Prix, and dedicate it to the memory of his 'hero' or ' most admired person', Muhammad Ali?
So, let Hamilton and his team mate, Rosberg, have an exciting race, fighting it out, safely, with each other, and with the rest of the field.

THE ISRAEL/PALESTINIAN WAR AND HOW ISRAEL'S LATEST ATROCITY MIGHT HAVE SEALED ITS EVENTUAL DEFEAT! P.4.

   It is unlikely that things were ever getting better. But, at least the Palestinians were alive, they had their homes, their roads, water, electricity, the basic requirements for having at least a basic life.  They had more freedom of movement in their 'reservations' than they have now, with the storm troopers crawling over and around them as so many wasps.  So, yes, it is likely that, for the majority of Palestinians who are being forced to pay the price the Zionist Israeli State has decided to extract from them, the attack of 7th October might be considered to have been a tactical mistake by Hamas and the other Resistance Fighters. And yet, it could be the case that the overall and eventual outcome of the attack for the Palestinian people will be a positive one. It has broken the then impasse, the stalemate in progressing the realisation of a sovereign and viable Palestinian State.  It has forced the nations and international organisations, ordinary people of the world to t

JUST A THOUGHT - ARE PRISONS A SYMBOL OF A PUNITIVE SOCIETY? THE END....

By increasing the number of statutes by which citizens can be criminalised. So as to provide a sufficient supply of inmates for the prison population.   As we have seen, for example, in the United States of America. The so-called most advanced country in the world.   But also undoubtedly, probably the most retrograde one, when it comes to the manufacturing of criminal laws, and administration of 'crime and punishment.'  Since, not only does it make having more prisoners as a necessity, in order to keep the private companies holding and processing them, and the 'law enforcement departments, in business.  But it also encourages corruption amongst all those involved in the crime and punishment industry, through the quest to generate income and profits. Objectives which they seek to achieve by brutalising inmates and increasing their prospects for having to pursing a criminal career.  By ensuring that inmates being discharged from the prison industry are l

THE ISRAEL/PALESTINIAN WAR AND HOW ISRAEL'S LATEST ATROCITY MIGHT HAVE SEALED ITS EVENTUAL DEFEAT! P.1

  So, what are my thoughts about Hamas' unprecedented attack on parts of Israel, which has resulted in hundreds of men, women and children, some of them soldiers, being killed and thousands of Israelis becoming shocked and traumatised as they have probably never experienced before? And what are my thoughts about Israel's Zionist government's brutal and merciless counter-attack on, not just Hamas' fighters and military, but on all Palestinians and their social, economic and essential infrastructures in both Gaza and the West Bank? The egg did not come 'out of nowhere', and neither did the chicken. Everything of substance and significance has a context which can help us to define and understand it more than we could or would be able to do, without that context.  This principle also applies to Hamas' attack on Israel, just as how it applies to Israel's subsequent and continuing attack on the Palestinians. And so it is that Hamas' attack on Israel was a

THE EMMANUEL CHURCH SERVICE - GODISM, RELIGION AND THE END OF RATIONALITY?

All or many things are indeed 'bright and beautiful', but did the lord god really made them all? And what about the things which are not 'bright and beautiful'? So, there I was on this dour but still refreshing Sunday, with the heavens or sky enveloped in grey clouds, as far as the seeing eye could see, as the saying goes, when the BBC's Radio 4 Morning Service came on. As much as I am an evolutionist, I still could not help but being spiritually stirred by the stirring force of the 'religious' song which the congregation - from The Emmanuel Church, in Manchester, United Kingdom - began to sing.  You might imagine, wrongly, that this was a case of god getting through to a non-believer, but that is not really the case. It was really more a matter of a person who had a background of having to go to Church and had been indoctrinated throughout early childhood. A person in whom the 'fear of god and fear of hell' had been instilled during th
