Personal Branding

So Dilish from Namibia won Big Brother, old news as it may be, I can not help but reference her in this article on personal brand.

We all have a personal brand which is quite obvious in the way we talk, walk, dress, eat etc. Some people are consciously aware of their brand and work hard to sustain it while others simply go with the flow. However at the end of the day your brand or perceived brand will affect how others treat you.

Friendship



















Someone i recently thought of as a good friend just recently hurt me.

An item of hers worth roughly 500 pounds got missing in my bag and her reaction was spectacular.
In one breath in less than an hour after the item was observed to be missing, she stressed how expensive the phone was and quite frankly let me know how she regretted going out with me on that faithful day and how she regretted putting the particular item in my bag. I haven't felt so insulted in a long while, miserable night i must confess.

Norwich Festival






The Norwich festival is a more conservative festival, a lot more family friendly, not so much loud street music dancing or nudity.

Nice...........JC Gold




Nottinghill Festival



I was at the just concluded Nottinghill Carnival, dealing with the crowd, loud music and street partying was wild. 

I must confess that the Carribean especially the Jamaican committee was fully represented at the carnival, Jamaican rice seems to be a specialty there. 

However the sights of a lot of half dressed women brings off a sexual undertone to the carnival and i find myself having mixed feelings about the carnival. 

Is it wrong to dance around in fancy underwear all in the name of carnival? Are the individuals or the system to be blamed? If  it felt wrong, why then am i here taking pictures?...........JCGold
