I think you all should read... "Magician" by Raymond E Fiest. AWESOME Fantasy! Also "Who Killed Channel 9" if you're interested in how to destroy a leading television network.
Favourite quote:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

- Marianne Williamson

Favourite part of Sydney? The fact it is the most beautiful city in the world! And all the times when I remember how lucky I am to live here.
Worst part of Sydney: People that constantly want to tell me how bad Sydney is (in a non-joking way)
