The Start Of Another Day: Chapter III

This is a collection of interesting thoughts and opinions that might change your perspective on life. It is a uniquely written philosophy book that also tackles certain aspects of personal development through the changes that a young man experienced throughout one year. One of the more interesting topics of this book involve good and bad(free will), handling emotions, relationships with people, the true meaning of understanding and most importantly, your well-being. As an Algerian author influenced by western culture, I also incorporated some ideas that are quite common in my country giving you a chance to view certain aspects of the North African mentality and life style. This is my first take at writing a fully-fledged book so I would love to hear your views and criticism of it.

The Footballer's Fear of the Whistle

Amid the fuss about the death of another, admittedly incredible, footballer from the other side of the world, there's this. It used to be on another site. I wrote it nine years ago the week after his death. I've edited it somewhat. What a terrible waste. Still no explanation of why, although unsubstantiated reports link him to the abuse carried out by boys' coach, Barry Bennell. Anyway, we know the spotlight is hard to give up. Gary Speed (1969-2011).
