Alternatives to conflict Argue? Moi? Yes, well, the problem is that some people have opinions, which mean that if you ever bother to say what you think, (and you might not), then bet on it, someone out there is going to disagree with you. And why shouldn't they? But why shouldn't you, say what you mean? Is everyone right? Are we all wrong? Or would it be better if we could just figure a way to get along? Wanna try it? Alternatives to being natural Smallpox is 'natural', it's just one of the things we don't really like in the world. But if it's yoghurt or blueberries, then the more 'natural' the better, apparently. We all love those 'natural' things. That must make them unique. In most people's lives, from the moment we wake up to the time we go to bed, practically everything we touch, use or make, is completely 'unnatural'. Is that so hard to appreciate? Alternatives to sophistication We get older. Do we get wiser? Unfortunately, many people in the advanced civilisations that we call The West seem to be content to revel in the baser instincts and count conquests of a personal nature amongst their rather flimsy list of achievements. What do we really have to boast about? Is there anything we can be really proud of? The list might be smaller than you think. Alternatives to the differences between men and women Everything's out in the open, these days. Or so we are told. Unfortunately, we're not told everything. In doctor's surgeries and clinics, people find it as difficult as ever to have full and frank discussions. That can't be right, surely? We live in modern times. Not at all, says this article, and goes on to raise several important issues. Well, what do you think? Alternatives to reality, every day So, what's it to be, young man? Why, you could be a famous sports personality, a singer or creative artist, all without work or effort. You could be rich, famous, an expert in your field, and all without practice. Uh, wait a minute: where are we going? You think it's possible to achieve anything without daily effort? Time to think again. Moving forward is easy, but you have to move your feet. One step at a time. Alternatives to being the best Every day is an adventure and every road we go down gives us a choice, which way to go next. What would you choose, good or bad, right or wrong, the worst or the best. Let's look at a few examples and see how frail and stupid we can all be, if we're determined and really put our minds to it. The alternative, of course, is always better, but how many of us can choose that route? Alternatives to Making Do Why prepare? After all, a lot of famous people are renowned for being able to 'wing it', coming up with the goods off the top of their heads. Isn't it good to be spontaneous? Why not copy the rich and famous? Yeah, good, if you can. On the other hand, it might be better to make that all important first impression by knowing what you're talking about. Yep, that's an alternative. Alternatives to pretending We are who we think we are. Are we? Or are we who we say we are? Or, more accurately, we seem to be whom we pretend to be. That's good, surely, making out you're more than you are; more important; more - everything. Not according to this author. You spend effort pretending to be who you're not and you'll spend up, with nothing to show for it. Try another way. Alternatives to positive thinking What's all this 'positive' stuff? Why do we have to keep smiling? What's this obsession with always looking on the bright side. Maybe there are other world views, and this article points you in that direction, out there in the world, maybe China. Find out more about being positive where it counts, in planning and doing. After all, the question is, where are you - now and in the future - not what you can say about it. Alternatives to Arrogance We all get above ourselves, sometimes. We think we're pretty smart, pretty important, but as one successful entrepreneur likes to say, really we're just 'insignificant worms'. Actually, as the author of this article points out, we're lower than that, really a lot lower, which makes for humility maybe and a greater sense of perspective. After all, it's a big universe, isn't it? Alternatives to being rescued by dolphins Scientists are funny people. They're not content with knowing what they can see with their own eyes: they want to know 'why'. That's great, it's the foundation of modern civilisation, but not so helpful if you're in the sea, surrounded by sharks. And most of us are, aren't we? Alternatives to driving your life Who are these people, speeding down the highway, overtaking dangerously and threatening lives and property? One thing is certain: they aren't successful in any other part of their lives, apart from burning rubber! Check out the reasons why we all need to be behind the wheel and in charge of our driving, not intimidated by it. Alternatives to good ideas All you need is a good idea, right? Well, no, because there's always the problem of other people. Some of them, out there, seem determined and doomed to mess things up. Watch out, in case they get in your way, and let Mike Scantlebury show you the real road to where you want to go.
