And, when you enjoy doing something, the chances are that your motivation is enhanced and with an enhanced motivation, you tend to increase your achievement.  All of which are things, feelings which Lewis Hamilton and Team Mercedes are living. Love of what you do extracts greater effort from you and greater effort applied smartly, increases you chances of having more successes.  Thus has Hamilton, driven by Team Mercedes, made it to Pole at the Qualifying session of the Bahrain Grand Prix.  Thus did Valtteri Bottas made it to P.2 and Max Verstappen and Team Red Bull made it to P.3, with his colleague, the embattled and pressured Alex Albon, making it to P.4. So, a Big Congratulations to you, Hamilton, on your 98th Pole, and to you  Bottas and Verstappen, for sharing the Qualifying Podium. Hamilton and Team Mercedes have been dominant during the Practising sessions and in Qualifying.  This might have been most probably been due to the level at which their cars are being driven and perfo

  It helps when you are enjoying the job you do, but it is even better when doing the job you enjoy doing. As Lewis Hamilton said after taking Pole in the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix Qualifying session today, Saturday, it is good to enjoy what you do.  You or I could also add that, it is even better to be blessed by doing something that you enjoy, which is not the case for many people. Now there are certain occupation, such as, probably, being a soldier during times of conflict or war, or being an abattoir worker, or making weapons.  For which a person might declare their unease or even dislike.  For people employed in such occupations, it might seem morally repugnant for them to speak of how happy or how much they enjoy their work.  More likely, we would or might expect them to declare how somebody has to do it.   And how it is a matter of necessity, such as them having opted to do it, because of the opportunity it gives them to make a living, like other people. Not so with being a racing

  Just as how some of us are dying when others are being born, on a continuous conveyor belt of life, if you like.  Just as how some life are fated to become prey to others, whose fate, even purpose, is to become predators who prey on others.  There is an inherent contradiction in what is in the best interest of the prey and the predator.  So it is in human societies. God cannot bring happiness and/or prosperity to all.  He cannot save the sick nor can he stop the famine and the flooding.  And, although humans can heal the sick and stop or reduce the flooding and provide relief for those afflicted by the famine and wars.  Even with us being more powerful that God or the gods, it is not fated to our leaders to bring all of us utopia. Utopia, like paradise, is only to be found in the grave, where it is also beyond the point of being experienced. It is our fate to like lives and create and maintain societies which are dystopian, which are contradictory and full of irony and paradoxes.

  Recently I heard my dear mother telling someone that she is not afraid of her 'nocturnal visitors.  Which is good, as it could suggests that she is not fearing that they are going to hurt her.  Alternatively, it could be an indication of her feeling safe, now, as opposed to when she is experiencing the nocturnal events.  Either way and for whatever reasons she disclosed her absence of fear. Whether she was being truthful or simply saying what she thought was the right thing to say, it was good to hear it.   As I endeavour to better understand and work more appropriately with my dear mother. But such rewarding clarity of understanding are not the norm in the relationship my mother and me now share.  The anxieties that are troubling are, it seems, constantly bubbling in her mind, in her consciousness.  She does not seem able to relax for any length of time. Yes, she can be passive, but, smiles and signs of pleasure, of perceiving fun and being humorous, are hard to come by for my m

  It is a fact that, even when it is fortunate enough to be able to meet one or more specific objective.   Such as providing education for a children of a certain age, or health care for all its citizens. This situation is unlikely to pertain ad infinitum. A nation, it seems, will oftentimes during its history, become a hostage to fate.  It will be like a ship on the open sea, travelling in different direction in pursuit of a mystical but unachievable destination.  Being at the mercy of its latest leader, government and global circumstances over which they have little or no control. And so it is that us humans are not being practical, but idealistic, in thinking, hoping, that at some point in the future.  In this and/or the proverbial next life, all of us will be living 'the life' of prosperity and happiness.  It is not possible, or probable, as that is not how the world, the universe works.  To be continued!

  He might, considering that he does appear not to have fully accepted how gifted and fated he is to be where he is and what he has achieved.  He seems to be of what I consider to be a mistaken belief that, if he can do it, then anybody else or many others can also replicate his achievements.  If only it was so easy, then many others would have achieved it already and would be achieving it now.  Of course other people are achieving great things, but, at any one time, there can only be one world champion, one king, one queen, one ruler.  Yes, it is true that some are born into or inherit the positions they find themselves occupying, and must then meet the challenge of remaining in it.  Whereas others achieve the positions they occupy through their own, and the endeavours of others.  As is the case with Hamilton, Mclaren and Team Mercedes. What Hamilton might call the 'alignment of compatible forces.' Lewis Hamilton's Formula 1 racing achievements are therefore special, excep

  For the employed and economically more abled.  The popularity of a government might be based on its policies and promises intended to maintain and/or improve their status in the medium-to long-term.  They are better able to weather the economic storm, if you  like, so they might opt not to go on the streets to protest on their own behalf.  If anything, they might even be more attracted to espousing social and human rights issues.  For the more politically committed, the popularity of a government is more likely to be predicated on the basis of their feelings about its success.    In achieving political goals they hold dear.  Whether those goals are of the nationalistic kind, or the internal 'rich versus poor', or 'haves versus haves-not' kind. What is clear in considering the dilemma confronting nations and their people, is the impermanence of things.  The fact that no government can ever satisfy the immediate needs and/or the aspirations of all the people it serves a

  And how is a person to deal with a situation like this; a situation in which there is little or no chance of significant and enduring positive changes in this life?  A situation in which the annoyance and the frustration levels, on occasions, can and do get to the point where, neither my dear mother or me.   Will realise how quickly the mercury level in the frustration or annoyance meter has risen to the top of the bottle, and results in screaming or displays of anger. Fortunately, the frustration and high stress wall is not one which surfaced between my dear mother and me often.  Like so many things in life, conflict situations have wider causal factors than those pertaining to just the people involved at the point of conflict.  These other factors can include stressors targeting the participants in other aspects and areas of their lives, including historical factors.  Be that as it may, I am pleased to say my current relationship with my dear mother is calm and enjoyable; for both

  It was Hamilton, after having survived a difficult and challenging bit during the first lap.  Who, with the right combination of skilful driving performance and team strategies, was the first racer to greet the Checkered Flag at end of the race. It was very fitting that it was none other than Sebastian Vettel, who, along with the now seasoned and greatly experienced Sergio Perez, were to join Hamilton on the Podum, for his record breaking win. In his struggle, his rise to the top, Lewis Hamilton has displayed all or most of the qualities of drivers like Perez and Vettel, and more.  Hamilton is a unique driver, but, on analysing him, you will find that he has deployed the attributes of drivers such as Verstappen, Ricciardo, Kimi, Vettel, Grosjean and many others.  Hamilton has driven fearlessly, some would say it times, even rather recklessly.  But over time, he has now matured into becoming, evolving into the consummate professional racing driver he now is.  I do not know if Hamilton
