When is it okay to start worrying?

the following text was taken from seth godin's blog. great advice for anyone who has lost sleep over the weekend worrying about the week ahead!

A friend was waiting to hear about the results of a job interview. He hadn't heard in a while and he asked me, "how long before I should start worrying?"

Of course, the answer is, "you should never start worrying."

Worrying is not a useful output. Worrying doesn't change outcomes. Worrying ruins your day. Worrying distracts you from the work at hand. You may have fooled yourself into thinking that it's useful or unavoidable, but it's not. Now you've got one more thing to worry about.

this weekend horden pavilion hosted master chef live 2011 http://www.playbillvenues.com/events/view/masterchef-live-2011 where a stack of exhibitors showcased their tasty eats, latest kitchen essentials and you can even do your very own masterclass.  if you’re a foodie, this event also provides an opportunity for you to buy some discounted fare.

i did buy a few bits n’ pieces and one exhibitor in particular is worth mentioning ‘paper eskimo’ http://www.papereskimo.com.au/.  i had a the ultimate retail experience, the girls working at the stall were super friendly and with the amount i purchased i was treated to a couple of free gifts. i now have a lovely collection of baking cups & flags, an apron for my niece and some little gift tags.  i walked away with a sense of being totally spoilt!

paper eskimo was founded by creative’s michelle farrington and lama perin, the company specialises in children’s designer party wear, must have products for any parents putting together a party for little people.  make your way to their online to store to start stocking up!
