Book: The Way I See It, Rants, Revelations and Rules for Life, Alan Sugar


Another dynamic businessman I would absolutely love to meet. Reading his book about his insights will do (for now). Every morning over a cup of coffee I would read a chapter and it felt like being in conversation and listening to this incredible businessman. He says a thing as it is, no airs and graces.

One of his many clever ideas, is tackling the DOL System in the UK, he acknowledges that there would a plethora of issues, I do love the thinking and actually think it could work well here too. Instead of cultivating a society of expecting handouts (weekly DOL / handouts at every turn) get the person to clean a section of graffiti off a wall, once you cleaned up / contributed your time effectively for the community you have earned your DOL / handout.

I also love his diet advice, what he does is to be mindful of the number of calories that he eats and exercises, interestingly he's an avid cyclist, wonder if he knows about the Cape Town Cycle Tour? Anyway, as part of his diet regime is eating all his meals with a small fork (cake fork) this helps him to be more mindful about not eating his food too fast and also helps him to fill up quicker which means he eats less.
