Alastair Campbell on mental health -

Bendy girl, who writes Benefit Scrounging Scum, draws my attention to an odd outburst from Alastair Campbell. Campbell is well known as Tony Blair's PR man and, despite previous differences, is close to Gordon Brown. He has a personal history of alcohol abuse, now under control, and of a severe depressive illness.

Too often we come across badly informed opinions or just sloppy writing in what we are reading on the Internet. The most obvious choice is to move on quickly to our next destination/blog post.

But what if we were to say exactly what we are thinking?

For example that a blog post is incorrect or badly written and cite the relevant sources to back up our information. A critical comment can be ten times as valuable as a general "oh this is interesting" or not commenting at all when you think it is poor.

Comments speak volumes about us all in a positive way be them positive or negative in meaning.

These are difficult times for any business leader or entrepreneur (and most more people, regardless of what we do). We each feel the stress and challenges to achieve profitability in this climate in our own ways. I want to share my recipe for overcoming.

After 11 years running my current business, preceded by 10 in the corporate world and six before that running a publishing and writing business, I have learned three words that can make all the difference: Passion, Persistence and Performance.

Passion: When work, commitment, and pleasure all become one and you reach that deep well where passion lives, nothing is impossible.--Unknown
