		<description><![CDATA[The difference between being creative and being imaginative is that if you&#8217;re creative, you will have created something. It doesn&#8217;t have to be Art with a capital A &#8211; a painting, a symphony or a novel. It can be a creative report, a flowchart, an action or a way of acting. 
Whatever it is, it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK. Let&#8217;s look at it another way. Here am I trying to define charisma &#8211; not to find out what it is but to find a way of expressing what I know.  By trying to describe it, what I&#8217;m doing  is unpacking and identifying the complicated strands and shades of meaning that make up my own understanding of it.

		<description><![CDATA[‘Is a perception of you that can only be defined by someone else. It’s the unique effect you have on other people made up of energy (sparkle and forcefulness), self-esteem  (substance), image (presentation) and communication in the widest sense  (speaking, listening, making people feel special).

		<description><![CDATA[Today in Leeds I think the weather has turned a corner, from snow and ice to sleet and sludge. I&#8217;ve loved the snow, as much for the injection of bright light at the worst time of year as for the glee of the snow itself and of things being different. It&#8217;s affected my business of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday morning I caught the thought for the day on Radio 4&#8217;s Today programme. The Rev Angela Tilby started out about the powers of the new Supreme Court, but the rest of the thought was to do with the use of adjectives.  There is a bit in it about the use of  Holy Holy Holy in the Bible, but you can whizz past that if you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When my memory first started to disintegrate  I panicked. Not because of what it might mean (dementia? alzheimers?) but because I had relied so much on it and didn&#8217;t know how to do without it. Since then, Ive been studying  the process in myself and in the people around me. I&#8217;ve arrived at some conclusions &#8211; some ridiculously obvious &#8211;  which I&#8217;m passing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What is it with the world of work, corporates and organisations? The words passion  and passionate  are slapped on anything from IT models to supermarket products. Emotion or emotional, however, produce a corporate reaction like a scalded cat.
Several things strike me about this.
One: both reactions are emotional ones, thus creating an amusing irony.
Two: passion is being systematically [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been giving a lot of thought to how to be positive. I’ve now got some kind of handle on gratitude as the way to stay positive. The next thing is how to be grateful without being Pollyanna or thankful without having to go to church and sing praises. Here’s how.

This is exactly what happens with my diary writing, with going to the gym, regular exercising, diets. There&#8217;s something about regularity that my personality jibs at. I think it makes me feel nailed down [...]]]></description>
