Every day is a school day

Why every day is a learning opportunity at Black & White Bridging.

Every day is a school day

Every day is a school day, is one phrase that I passionately believe in. Anyone who says they do not learn something new, no matter how trivial it maybe is telling porkie pies. This week we celebrated International Women’s Day, which is a fantastic day, steeped in history, which I knew very little about, until I conducted a company post. So, on that basis, what else have I learnt this week? Monday A friend of mine came back from a weekend trip to Brussels, where he discovered public transport is free on a Sunday. Not only free, but they also have a mystery bus, where only the driver knows where it is going. You hop on and end up in some random place you wouldn’t normally see. So, himself and the better half ended up having some fabulous food and drink in a non-tourist area, they would have otherwise missed. Tuesday Did you know, there is a gas field in the Netherlands which so mahoosive, it would cover all of European’s gas requirements that we relied upon from Russia?

I will not be around for another 100 years, but the strides that are being made now are

How It Applies

fantastic and can only imagine how different it will be then. Thursday In a random conversation with a doctor in a Leicestershire hospital, I was informed that Elon Musk was not the founder of Tesla and was formed by two other individuals, with Musk investing a few years later. One Google search later and a brief read on Wikipedia; he was spot on. I still believe Musk is a few fries short of a happy meal and is more dangerous than genius. Friday I am not the most religious of chaps, but when it was suggested, we have fish this evening for dinner, I was intrigued as to why fish is

Key Takeaway

commonly eaten on a Friday. Apparently, it follows on from Good Friday, where both Catholics and Christians refrain from eating meat, so instead eat fish and the tradition has stuck. Lending I could have written the whole blog about lending because working for a lender for the first time, I am learning new things every day. This is helped immensely when surrounded by experienced people like Damien, Optimistic Oli (not related to the late Mystic Meg, who passed away this week) Martyn and Naeem.
