Pride before fall

 When my father became a rabbi, I was a small kid who was just starting to read. My father ordered official stationery with a letterhead, I was sitting on his knee and looked at it and asked, "Daddy are you really?" My father was filled with pride. "Are you really a…" He answered, "Yes, yes, my child, I am…"

I continued, "Are you really a rabbit?"

Suddenly, my father's pride deflated. The cursive lettering made me read the fancy 'I' as a 'T'!

Pride can cause anyone to fall. It is what you do afterwards to get up after the fall that matters. It's like a kid on a bike, they fall but if they don't keep on trying, they will never one day win the Tour de France.

How does one get back up after a bad fall, especially following the humiliation from that fall? It's by being a small person, giving all you have to become a good person. It's pushing yourself to the full until you become the person you once were.

Sometimes you have to change your ways to get there, but eventually, you will. Sometimes you have to accept that in order to make it through, you have to change your lifestyle and the routes you have chosen in life.

And with a bit of good marketing and PR – Boom! You're back on track.

My father will remain a Rabbi and I still don't eat carrots, as I'm not a son of a rabbit (which is also probably why I need glasses) but my lifestyle will always adapt to what is best and needed for me and my family.

Reflection of a year to Blog

It has been just over a year since I started publishing my blog. I started writing a blog on the advice of Hillel Fuld in order to enhance my career and get more people informed about what I do. Unfortunately, as of yet, that hasn't happened, Hillel doesn't get everything right. But in a way, the blog has become a sanctuary for me to talk about my achievements, air my grievances, and let myself feel better in life. I think through the blog I have found clarity in myself on different aspects of my life, I have learned things about myself and what is necessary for me to change and I have learned skills I have that I never thought I needed or could utilise.  In sales, one must believe in the product to sell it. Through the blog, I learned that I need to believe in myself in order to sell myself. It has given me the confidence to push for things I wouldn't have necessarily done. This weekend, I was talking to a friend Martin Heimann who owns a telecommunications company in Manc...

My country is at war

I had written my blog for August and September, they were going to go up very soon but I can't put up trivial things when my country is at war, when my people and friends have been kidnapped and murdered by terrorists calling themselves freedom fighters for Palestine.  Make no mistake Hamas is not Palestine and does not represent any faction of Palestine, they are a terrorist group that cause harm to the Palestinian cause. Any person that harms civilians for their own benefit is evil. Hamas, besides the atrocities they committed last week, use civilians as bait , not allowing them to get to safety and making sure their terrorist headquarters are in vulnerable areas such as childrens' schools and UN hospitals.  As a Zionist Israeli and a left wing activist, the horror on both sides is intense, I lost friends and colleagues; innocent people, civilians who wanted to live. Also in Gaza, people have died due to being held hostage by Hamas, over 200 Israelis have been kidnapped by...
