While the Wallabies got away with a win on the field, what was happening around the periphery can not be overlooked for the clear signal of a sporting code in dire straits long before this Australian Rugby legend called it on twitter.
The Wallabies played the Springboks in Perth last Saturday and as is usual for me, I was tweeting along with the usual suspects over the course of the match. I must admit, I really enjoy reading the tweets of people I follow that share my interest in rugby and again these creative minds did not fail to deliver.
The tweet below was one that certainly got us all talking:
I quote this TEDtalk so often that I decided to embed it here for ease of reference.
If you have ever struggled to explain the impact money has on the human psyche then look no further than this fantastic TEDtalk by Paul Piff (@PKPiff). No surprises to find out that money can appear to make you meaner but the uplifting thing about this presentation is it is not all doom and gloom. Giving “small nudges” at regular intervals can restore empathy and reinforce the value of Co-operation and Community very quickly.
A full transcript of the talk follows but it is best to watch the video, you will not regret it.
