An invitation to go on a £65 Quest or Adventure

From reading some of Tom Peter's work this week I was interested to note the positive impact of the words "quest" and "adventure" rather than "task" and "project". So I thought it might be interesting to invite 10 people who read this to go on a 7 day quest or adventure (you pick which word you like best) to make a difference using £65 of my money.



Just tell me why it should be you - remember you can't spend the money on yourself - and I will send you the money on the condition that you let me know about your quest/adventure to make a difference. You don't have to tell me at this point what the money will be spent on, as you might not know yet, and after all you have 7 days for your quest. Enjoy it. Be adventurous.

Hi there - whilst I don't know what I would do for my quest or adventure - I think this therefore defines the nature of the activity!!

Surprise people and make their day. See people smile and add value to their summer (?!) and generally use it for the good of others.

I'd love to take part. I'm contactable at mark108janet@ntlworld.com.

Thanks

Janet,

As you were the first to ask - you get to have a £65 quest or adventure. Enjoy and let us know what happens.

I'd like to go on a £65 adventure/quest because it is such an exciting idea and I think it would open up the thinking of those I met in the week.

I am not sure exactly what form the adventure would take, just that I would like to involve people of all ages - 0 to 100 in doing something new that could open up a new activity or light the fire of an idea.

I promise I would get back to you quickly and envisage some kind of photo record of the week.

I'd really appreciate being chosen as it is such a great idea and I'd like to share some happiness....
