Conker



1. An old British game using the "core" of horse-chesnut 'seeds'

2. Played between 2 people, who each take a swing at the other person's conker with their own conker (the conker's are attached to string, through a small hole made through the middle of the conker)

3. Victory is hailed when one conker is broken.

4. Interesting aspects onto life.
a.) It's never stationary
b.) You're either 'winning' or 'losing'
c.) There's always another battle to become a victor if you decide to 'compete' again
d.) Toughness (in all the aspects of it) - wins out in the majority of all cases.

This reminds me a little of the endless "finger-pointing' going on with the current economic challenges out there

The answer is to toughen up (in all manner's of that verb)
And seek a fresh battle and become a victor.
To my mind the ultimate in capitalism is what will bring the upturn in economies. The creation of fresh excellence, and the ensuing job creation, and capital revival

** That's what we're doing at Pineapple.

Creating a Pineapple Planet of excellence in life. Thriving, flourishing, galvanized.

Just like a champion Conker!
