Were you Born under a Bad Sign? Or just a member of Ostritchology!

Most of us can easily come up with all the excuses under the Sun as to why we are not successful and why things continually go wrong for us. But lets face it, and that’s difficult to do if you have brainwashed your self, success and achievement is down to good old You…. no one else. Yes of course there are many stumbling blocks along the way, some of which seem insurmountable at the time, but it’s your ability to pick yourself up and keep going, that makes the difference between success and oblivion. We failed the Driving Test again and this time it was the cranky Examiners fault; last time it was the fault of the Stop Sign….there wasn’t anything in sight either way for a Kilometre so why stop? The time before we got stranded on the Box junction because the Traffic didn’t move away quickly enough. Do I need to go on?

No matter what your standard of education is or lack of it , it is well known that some of the worst “Dunces” in the Universe , adjudged by the establishment, went on to remarkable achievements and so can you if you allow yourself the time to study others path to success. Inspiration from others is not now a restricted commodity with the expansion of the Internet throughout the Universe. Granted you need a P.C. and an internet connection and that’s a bit expensive to begin with but how about a second hand machine and even a small dial-up package. This is manageable on even the smallest budget. If you can afford a mobile phone, and we have probably the largest penetration of cell phones in Europe, you can afford a P.C. . . .

Now onto my favourite subject …that of Driving and preparing pupils for the Wonderful World of the Road. Passing the Driving Test is clearly an important milestone for every Driver but learning the basics and the not so basics at an early stage is essential to staying safe and avoiding accidents. Driving a car safely is not just a question of saving up a few thousand and armed with a provisional license, heading off to the beach. Practising should come after you have been taught the rudimentary skills… not before.

We are constantly reminding Pupils to “Do their Homework” which means plenty of study of articles, and resources which are freely available on the internet. Our own Web site and blogs contain numerous articles and resources for the aspiring Driver including much Driving Test detail and Tips. The Driving Test is achievable First Time if you prepare well and treat the whole situation seriously enough. The reason for failing the Driving Test is down to the individual themselves and is always the result of lack of training and lack of serious study.

If it wasn’t for Bad Luck, I wouldn’t have no Luck at all “
