Why It's Good To Ask For Directions

When you're driving down an open road like the one above and you know the direction you are going is correct, you can relax. The weather is fine so you have clear vision, few cars if any, and the road is yours.

Now you have reached the town of your destination. You need to get to a street addess but its a new street and the navigation system doesn't recognise it. You see plenty of locals on the footpath. Do you stop to ask directions or try your best to find the street?

Men in general do not like to ask directions, but why? Some say it's because they are putting themselves in a dependent position. It could hurt their pride because they’d have to admit that they have need help.

I knew a man who said he would rather drive around indefinitely looking rather than stop and ask. Personally, I'm very quick to ask once I realise I need help. Not everyone knows the answer but soon enough someone does. It saves a lot of time and people seem to be happy they were able to help. 

Then you have more time to enjoy what you travelled all this way to do. Spend time with people who are special to you, like you see in the picture below. 

The Celebrity Traitors UK : 2025

The show is back and this time with celebrities from the UK. I know some of them but not others. Living in NZ we get UK TV shows so I only know those that might appear on them. That doesn't matter as we soon get to know them all. 

I've seen four episodes so far. Don't worry, if you haven't seen the show yet I won't let out any spoilers. In NZ, it is featured on TV3, twice a week and 12 hours after the UK viewing. I find it an interesting show and I'll explain why. 

Picking liars. Most people think they are good at that but a convincing liar is hard to pick unless they put their foot in it. Even then, some are good at putting it right.

Catching traitors. It is frustrating not to catch them but even if they are exposed, another is recruited. The main thing is they don't win. 

The daily challenges. They are good at team building but some of the team will soon be plotting to remove a faithful member of the team. I couldn't be a traitor.

Historical comparison. The first traitor ever got the first woman to believe him and used that trust against her best interest and by extension that of the whole human family. That original traitor also became the first liar and the father of the lie. Lying is an essential tool of a traitor, if they wish to succeed. 

Lesson: Appearances can be deceptive. We should never overestimate our ability to detect a lie. In The Traitors it is hard to gather the information necessary to detect the deceiver. 

In life generally, when it comes to information we receive, accurate knowledge of a subject can be a protection. It can expose those wishing to trick us or who are twisting the truth. If in doubt, be careful and try to get accurate information before believing anything. Beware of those who are traitors to the truth.  

The 'i' Car Is Here!

There are many 'i' cars out there, referring to electric models. For example, the Jaguar i-Pace is a drivers car, with plenty of speed. Using that analogy, here are some suggestions for future models. 

i-Dyllic: For the quiet, peaceful car that wafts us down the road. Most likely a luxury model.

i-Gloo: Suitable for colder climes, where the occupants are kept warm despite external temperatures. May also be popular with hobbyists. 

i-Deal: A model that has broad appeal and has many happy owners. Easy on the pocket too. 

i-Rony: Driven by someone who you would never have imagined would buy that sort of car.

i-Diot: Especially for the motorist who does the daftest things or is prone to holding other drivers up.

i-Rate: Either for those who think they are superior drivers or who easily descend into road rage.
