How successful people start their day!!!






















Views in verse on 'getting into it'

The attached schematic shows how some very successful people start their working day.

The common thread - they have a plan - always a good place to start!!!!

Lots of different approaches.

How do you go about it?



Morning in the City


I caste a lazy eye as the the bus 
nears 'The Bridge'
the sun shines bright off Middle Head
The Opera House smiles
as she peeps o'er the brow
I'd be pained to use my vehicle instead
I come in early 
for my 'walk across town'
the ideal start to the working day
An easy pace 
...no need to race
from The Quay toward Castlereagh

First through narrow lanes
of convict stone
I make my way to the heart
Pitt St will take me
most the way to Sydney South
a steady hill right from the start
Martin Place is stirring;
the 'promotional' zone...
early workers busy on displays
In an hour there'll be shouts
from painted roustabouts
as commuters go about their merry way

A few blocks up 
the retail heart
trucks descend upon the mall
Restocking shops
for the day that's ahead
a greengrocer busy at his stall
It's a steady rise toward
the top end of town
An eclectic mix there you'll find
Best brands galore
In specialist stores
past the Hilton 
where taxis they entwine

Crossing Bathurst
up at the top 
you enter 'new' Chinatown
Once confined
to 'old' Dixon St
now thriving some eight blocks around
A little further on
towards the railway arches
I routinely make my way on down
Once you cross under
Surry Hills beckons
with the aroma of fresh coffee ground

The sidewalks are narrow
where the locals gather
to await barista service with style
Just beyond them
men walk streets
clutching at loose bedding piles
But it's the 'metro' zone now
the place to be seen
I chance to wonder what I'm doing here
But I shot in the key
Enter ...just me
Ready to work ...no fear

From my I-pad - Grahame J Flynn




Surry Hills Sydney by morning!
