Quote with every new challenge comes a new opportunity
Well this recovery was probably one of the biggest challenges (apart from the diabetes diagnosis) so far.
Ready for the new opportunity….!

Identity… product
An issue of brain injury, is loss of identity in.
It’s probably commonly known that a loss of memory occurs (as seen in the films#memento), but how is identity actually made? From memories…,
So when you forget who you are, a way to cope with it, is to choose a 3D product (like something you already have or can buy) where you can look at it.
Then, it’ll inspire attributes from your identity, which you can identify as something you chose.
If you do, or don’t have a TBI, it’s a difficult one, give it a go….
I know mine….

#Nike Free
For my walking impaired peers…
This is a huge plug for #Nike , but for a new target market (maybe) for #Nike -Those who are learning to walk….
This model retains the brand style, but is exceptionally functional, mimicking how your feet work when barefoot. They’re so flexible, enhancing the flexibility of the foot.
Additional features; the upper is so light, breathable material, but the product’s shape reflects that of the anatomy of the foot.
It has laser shaped grooves that enhance flexyness, but maintains stiffness. It mimics the bare runners foot pressure a lot.
How the average runner runs, they specifically moves in a 33 degree angle, toe-to-heel-to-toe repetition.
It’s based on the method of barefoot running, supposedly. But first you must walk (which I’m still performing), then you run.
Although beautifully thought out ergsnomically, these shoes’ dimensions need adjusting. Even though they’re designed for running, I think the laces ar far too long; so I cut them circa 15cm, burning the ends to avoid them fraying and getting shorter/shorter/shorter etc.
Nike Free helps enhance the body’s natural motion, and the barefoot runner experience vary around how it’s felt on the foot.You can track your running method on the Free Scale, found on the website.

Investing
So, knowledge has always been my priority. This is probably why being out of work has been so demoralising…
I’ll start an MBA in Edinburgh business school in September! So I see a future of investing approaching…
For my theme, I’m thinking Medi-tech (probably due to my multiple instancess of medical conditions).
And when choosing a startup to invest (time/money/experience/effort), I should ask;
“Will this project enamble us to increase production and profits?”
“Will it produce economic growth ?”
In other words;
What?
So what?
Now what?

Destroyed moon
Hmmm first of all… why? Or how?
But being our closest cosmic neighbour, how much do you (or most people) actually know about the moon? After listening to a few programs and scratching that itch of curiosity, I gathered some info of how important it is to the earth. In comparison to how little we know about it. Now….
– but; most people know the moons relationship with tides. Ergo minus tides, the sea would STINK, due to so many sea inhabitants getting regenerated by tides. This goes for less food for sea animals.
– nocturnal animals are screwed, one action is they use the moon to navigate, as well as others that time when to mate & reproduce.
– when unlit night falls, wilderness can hide better from predators (lions). So they need to problem solve: stay where they eat until the food runs out, or more, being more vulnerable to other predators.
So mostly, much death

High heels
After several years of personal training, I can FINALLY walk. Always one to exceed expectations, I passed on all this hard work, recovering from a brain injury and learning to walk again. To deliver this information about how I did it, I performed a speech…. In high heels (see below).
There was parts about when enduring this condition, you have a loss of identity. This is unfortunate because your identity is made up of memories.
Few people can choose a product that describes their identity. But I could….. high heels.
Both aesthetic reasons, and psychological ones too. They change your figure, push your shoulders back so enhances your figure, and they’re a great complement to most outfits. But psychologically;
They attract attention, confidence, make me feel sexy and dominant and powerful.
For most of human history, there has been a power shift: men have a better pay while women are “home makers”.
With equal pay introduced, more flat shoes have been worn. I call for a switch-a-rol. Women to be the dominant sex, through heels.

Motivational speach
This picture can embellish “passion for fashion”.
After going to the gym most days, ever overstepping the limits, not only did I learn to walk using @neurophysio work out route, I presented a lecture at @SHIF in my high heels (seen below).

Identity
“What do you want to do when you’re older?”
That’s the question you always ask a child.
There’s so much pressure on which career, or even what we do.
Not, exactly, why we’ve chosen that path, or how we act should do it;
It should be: “Who do you want to be with you’re older”

Persuasion
Everything relies on convincing the other party to take your choice.
Having the stats, arguments and pros/cons are great. But the real killer is….
Emotion.
Empathy really will hit it where it hurts for them. To make them view it from your perspective.
Or even better: pity.
“Oh, woe is me. (In my case;) I have a 24 year career of type 1 diabetes. AND had a brain injury in 2019. This meant me having to relearn the ability to talk, remember, listen, read, write and walk”
Little is it apparent I’m not doing this though :
