David Clark, Professor and Indigenous rights, Australia

Meet David. A professor of Psychology and advocate for aboriginal rights here in Australia. Having taken a early retirement to focus on his own passions David is someone we can learn from. Following what you believe in and stand for is something that jumps to my mind when I think about David. It is so important to follow your passions and dreams as you would never be able to compete with someone who loves what they do if you just do it without passion. If you love what you do, you are better than any academic or person who doesn't perform using their heart in the profession. I mean really how do you compete with someone who loves to read about financial trends in his free time when you actually hate being in the finance sector? Its logic. 

Cam, Sapa, Vietnam

This woman I met whilst traveling in Vietnam. I was trekking in Sapa which is in the north of Vietnam near the Chinese boarder. This mountain region is absolutely picture book worthy. You have rice terraces everywhere and in spring the flowers come out and give you a picture book scenery. The air is fresh and the streets are quiet. A pleasant change from busy Ho Chi Min (Saigon) and Hanoi. The traditional people in Sapa are called black hmong. They are famous for creating dresses out of hemp and dying it indigo blue hence their hands area always coloured. This particular lady offered to walk with me and protect me from the rain whilst trying to sell me one of her hand made purses. She walked alongside me with her baby on her back. After a while we crossed through her village which was down the mountain slope. That means she walks up every morning on the look out for some tourists. Tough lady. It was a absolute pleasure meeting her. A truly kind hearted and strong woman.
