That took a lot of courage for me yesterday to do that video of me talking. I've been putting it off for sometime now but its something I've always been wanting to do. 

For the past 4 years now I've been writing my posts every day which was a big fear for me to overcome also.

As I said in my video yesterday I had a school teacher that really picked on me, she used to make me stand in front of the class in primary school reading and then mock me. 

This always stuck in my head and for the rest of my school life up until I left I never really took anything in in school. 

I was more wheeling and dealing selling my delboy dads dodgy goods everyday and for the rest of my life I never wrote anything apart from price lists, bookie dockets, tick lists and the odd placard I used to write if I had to protest outside some big name stores that were trying to rip me off. 

They really hate this one guys. I got my own way every time with this. 

Never forget one occasion where me and my BIg Glaswegian Pal was outside a big name tech store protesting and the manager was going mad saying the police are on their way and you are in big trouble. 

Have you any idea whats going to happen to you he was saying!

The police landed up and there was the manager shouting take them away. 

The policeman took the manager away in private and the other policeman said he was just here to check for any spelling mistakes. 

Then the manager comes out all nicey nice saying, we're really going to sort this out for you, Come you on in and we'll give you what you want. 

My Big Pal couldn't believe it, he was wanting to start a business doing this for people. I've done this a load of times, it works and its our right to do it. 

Although these days though I try to be more passive and accept things as my karma.

I had dispute a while back with a big company and I was tempted to go and get my placard but then I think of the Buddhist Eightfold path, right speech, right intention, right action and all the rest of these practices. 

I took it on the chin and went and planted some trees., using my human energy for good rather than making scenes. I'm a changed man, my own mental peace is more important these days.

Anyhow guys, that took some balls for me yesterday speaking on camera, especially when you've over 100k followers but as I said I've so much more I want to express and I cant do it all though words. 

I've a guy to thank for this, Robert Jamieson is his name. You may have heard of him, he had an architect TV programme before. Over the past lot of years I've developed a good friendship with him. 

But he calls me up the other day and said why do you not talk in your videos? 

He said he reads all my posts and he can see the effort that goes into them and everything I just wrote this morning I could have said it in a 5 min video. 

He compared me to some other big social media influencer with how I talk and tell my stories and said I really need to be doing this, people need this and will want to hear you he said and that there is no time like now to be doing it.

He really got me thinking and within a couple of days from his call I made the video!

Thank you Robert for this push.

As I said in my video I'm still going to carry on writing my morning posts, I enjoy writing and expressing myself through words as one day I see myself writing many books in my older age and I have my primary school teacher to thank for this. I dont think I would have the want to write like I do now if it wasn't for her knocking me down. With every negative comes a positive...

Hope you read this my old school teacher, I know your still around and you know who you are. Maybe one day we could plant a tree.

Anyhow guys, plenty more videos will come, so much I want to talk about, so much I want to share. 

Thanks you everyone for all the support.
