Big Opportunity
'Big Opportunity'
You probably might be wondering where your big opportunity is.
It just might be at your door step, on the project you are working on at the moment, where you’re heading to at the minute or right where you’re sitting.
Meanwhile, talking about ‘big opportunity’, please allow me to wish all the wonderful women and especially those in my life a…
…more power to you.

One important lesson I learnt at design school
One important lesson I learnt at design school
One key lesson I learnt from one of my greatest graphic design tutor Tim Foster was flipping or reversing if you may the word ‘ME’ to ‘WE’. The message was that in uniting or in collaborating with others takes us and our ideas further than we could imagine.
To add to that, there is popular African proverb that goes, “If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
This principle can be applied in all works and facets of life.
To go further, ‘WE’ go together.
It’s all about we, we, we!

The Egg and Life metaphor
The Egg and Life metaphor
“Your life is like an egg. If an egg is broken by an outside force life ends, but if an egg is broken by the inside force, life begins.” Jim kwik
Great quote from one of my favourite speaker and Brain Coach.
I hope that my visual metaphor does it justice.
Have a brilliant day today.

Adopt Positivity
Adopt Positivity
I came across this article How to Create a Positive Attitude, it is worth a read.
Here are some bullets points I gathered from this insightful article by Geoffrey James:
1. Remember that YOU control your attitude.
2. Adopt beliefs that frame events in a positive way.
3. Create a “library” of positive thoughts.
4. Avoid angry or negative media.
5. Ignore whiners and complainers.
6. Use a more positive vocabulary.
Thank you very much and have a good day.

Take a Moment, Be Thankful
Take a Moment, Be Thankful
It’s been a while since my last post. Hope you are well. Last time I uploaded a post was on 1. 1. 19., how can I forget. To be honest, I am still saying my ‘Thank YOUs’, especially for being on this platform and meeting so many amazing and talent people. Life in general have been a good teacher despite its sweet and sour combination.
I learnt so many things from reading, listening and watching some incredible video contents. A lot were motivational, inspirational and educational. I guess you see why my ‘Thank YOUs’ lingers on. Collaborating with Dr Perry on Life is an ever-changing blend of sweet and sour was truly special. I gained more friends in the community as a result.
Without wasting time, I am starting another website http://www.zedtears.com where I try to explore experimental image making to visually represent nerve pain or nerve sensations in abstract forms. It is a different kind of challenge I know, but it is truly remarkable how the nerves work if you’ve ever experienced any form of nerve issue or nerve pain. I will also attempt to explore pain in general. I have carried out a few interviews where I try to examine how people describe any form of pain condition they are going through or been through. Some of these will feature on the platform.
Pain, be it psychological, emotional, or physical is non-visual. The question is, can abstract images visualise pain? A Picture speaks a thousands words they say. One thing I can say though is that pain by its nature is abstract. People describe their pain in metaphorical or in abstract terms because they can’t physically see it but they can feel it. Let’s attempt to capture our pain in writing or other forms and express these in a form of art, how about that?!
The images that I create are visual representations and are entirely open to interpretation. You are welcome to join me as I explore the abstract world of pain.
Your thoughts and comments are highly welcomed.
