Inspired to write

Hi, I'm Dale Ovenstone. My participation on HubPages is to help others become aware within the resaearch & information of my writings. Now some of you may agree to what I write whilst others will not but whatever your thoughts & judgments please enjoy anyway, I hope you would read my articles & possibly leave me your feedback.

Some of my background & philosophies.

I live here in the UK (Wales) I was born in 61 & left school when I was 13 years old.

A skinny little kid with NHS wire framed glasses & a right pushover I had my share of being bullied in school, in the playground & in even the street because I would think I’d get a bigger beating if I fight back?

I didn’t have much success with the girls back then because when I finally plucked the courage to ask one girl out as I was a young teenager she belittled me in front of everyone around just for asking, so therefore, my ego took a hiding I was embarrassed.

My parents split when I was 10. I missed my dad’s philosophies, my mum became an alcoholic, & she violently vented her anger out on me. She’s passed away in 2008 but I forgave her years ago, never holding a grudge instead, supported her throughout her life.

I started my first ethical job when I was 16 as a tea boy & labourer on a construction site.  

As a youth I admired Bruce lee I wanted to be just like him so I studied martial arts in many different guises styles & venues to try to defeat the enemy within whereas I learned amazing philosophies of the mind & body from hard graft & various teachers in various skills! After years of experience I got banned from a few ‘other’ clubs because I loved sparring with total strangers, it got a bit messy sometimes.

I still practice now & sometimes get involved within incidences in the street because I don’t like witnessing bullying or disrespectful manners from others.

I sometimes show individuals self protection techniques that I determine will work in real situations. I exercise in unusual mind & body techniques & regularly write in my spare time from many things I experienced & tested out for myself.

I got married for 23 years to my partner & for the most of that time we brought up our 3 kids & fostered & child minded many more. 

My wife & I separated because our time together wasn’t going anywhere thus I became homeless before roughing it in a hostel with my 10 year old son Jon where we got taken from there after 3 months because of safety reason concerning incidents of disrespectful behavior from folk towards some of the other less unfortunate tenants who resided there.

Myself & Jon eventually moved into our council house & eventually, I wanted to start dating all over again. Scary or what lol? But found I enjoy learning ladies are fantastic by just being myself with no airs & graces around women but realized I wasn’t really ready for a commitment of any sort due to personal issues of my past marriage & this caused quite some turmoil in some of my relationships!

I been self employed for many years drywall texturing ceilings constantly when the craze was fashionable here in the UK, whilst employing others & teaching them, before taking a change in career thus learning the knowledge, here in Cardiff City, then I became a taxi driver in the year 2000 working throughout Friday & Saturday nights as I like to research & learn hands on whilst being around challenging situations to expand my knowledge of how the human mind functions & responds to whatever should arise! 

I study & practice positive mind techniques of emotions & how they affect one’s life. I’m addicted to writing & showing others what I know after personally testing such subjects.

I went back to University & became a tutor in 2008. Took time out from dating & relationships for two years & decided to dig deep into my thoughts & perceptions of my past marriage, helping me to eventually let go, free my mind, to attract more of what I really deserve!

I learned web design, self taught creating e-books & DVD’s mainly being purchased in the USA & Canada on amazing drywall artexing/texturing ceiling & wall COMB TOOL finishes using texturing combs which can be viewed on my websites http://www.lookreadlearn.com & http://www.diy-ceiling-wall-texture.com plus you can view demonstration videos on youtube.com/lookreadlearn of comb work texture patterns.

I am also highly trained by the citizen advice bureau offering information to citizens concerning money, homeless & personal issues as such which I volunteer in my community.

A few years ago learned how to create my own magazine & thus generated profit from advertising within from local businesses.

I trained as a lifeguard & I’m a self published author & suppose I can class myself as a freelance writer I hope now my articles are published on the internet. I studied once again fostering in 2008 & now hold the certificate & I am a grand-dad to 2 grandchildren. 

On occasions I work as a tutor with youths, who are not in education, employment or training (NEET) & many of these guys have certain emotional & attitude problems but I don't have any difficulty with them as they all turn out to be really great guys that have achieved what they set out to do once someone understands them & takes time around these guys.

I develop lesson plans on various adult learning subjects as & when needed, & then deliver the courses to groups of students.

Currently, I am training as a barber in college will be qualified in July 2012 & my ambition & dream is to make a living through my writing whilst giving folk something to consider or ponder with such information of my subjects researched & tested!

One of my great joys is my entrepreneurial streak of researching & testing various ways of creating money both from the internet & away from the internet.

I always feel very energetic & I live by my energy created by my thoughts by inducing emotions of positivity & optimism plus I perceive every aspect of my life, both the good & the bad, positive & the negative, as separate experiences to learn from to become more aware & better myself today!

So basically, I'm just your ordinary guy & I would love for you to add me or follow my work on HubPages if you do like my articles & if you do it also gives me the chance to read yours too.

Ok, that’s just a little background about me, if you read this far let me congratulate you! But really, you should be creating articles of your own.
