– reflections on big and small

Throughout his life, George Manus has reflected on big and small, which has already resulted in 20 books. He claims that while things are happening, we only get to think in the present. It is only afterwards that we have time and opportunity to think, analogise and consider.

The importance the author attaches to the idea of reflection is in other words afterthoughts.

In this, his twentieth book, George Manus has picked out thoughts from “Reflections” I – II and III, as well as “Thoughts”. Thoughts were written, one every day, on the first 51 days of 2001, while the Reflections spread as far back as 1989.

My main hobby became inventions and creations, mainly related to Golf. I took it as my first challenge to construct the most compact collapsible Golf Trolley ever seen.
