How quickly things change
December 5th, 2008
I was just looking through some draft posts, and I found one that I was planning to write, showing a picture of the price of petrol in Melbourne.
At the time (just a few months ago), the price was hovering around 183 cents a litre, but everytime it was there, I didn’t have my camera handy. So I never got the picture.
Anyway, having a look at Melbourne’s petrol prices today, I realise just how much has happened in a few months.
The latest price I see is 112 cents a litre. A fair drop, no doubt caused by the credit crunch and other global factors.
Just shows how much things can change, in a relatively short space of time.
So conversely, this must therefore also show how much YOU or I can change in the same relatively short space of time.
Just think, if you started something new today, like surfing, and gave it a red-hot go for six months, imagine how good you would be at the end of six months.

Heath, excellent point! I never would have thought I’d be able to fill my tank so cheaply now so it’s a good idea to think about how much I could change too … hmm. Good food for thought. Speaking of food, congrats on the fish thing too. I have to admit I admire you because I still can’t cook fish (don’t tell anybody).

Your secret is safe with me!

Yeah, you and all your millions of fans who read this – but hopefully not my mother, who’d be ashamed to think she hadn’t taught me better!
