But let's face it — unless you can get others to work with you, those ideas aren't going anywhere. Your ability to capture people's hearts and minds is the key to getting results.

None Have Done Better
Many schools may have done as well but none have done better ~ Percy Shaw Jeffrey Echoing the words of Percy Shaw Jeffrey, the headmaster of Colchester Royal Grammar School at the start of the First World War, this book tells the story of the global conflict through the lives of the former pupils and teachers who are commemorated on the school's war memorial. It retraces their early days in the classroom and on the playing field and their actions during some of the major events and battles of the First World War, from Ypres and the Somme to Palestine and Egypt, as well as at sea and in the air. Published to coincide with the centenary of the armistice, this collection of biographies provides a fascinating and timely account of the experiences of a generation of Old Colcestrians whose legacy of service and courage is unmatched. Additional essays examine the historical context and other remembrance events by the school community, including visits to the graves and memorials of the fallen. This record of their lives ensures that their ultimate sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Pathway of Dreams
"Better to make a complete break, I'll no longer be a drag on your career." The daughter of a glamorous film star, Sarah Castle, had always been single-minded as a career woman, determined to be as successful in her profession as her mother had been in hers. In spite of this, she was shattered when she received the news that Simon Dowling was to marry another woman for she could not envisage him belonging to anyone else but her. And she had no one to blame but herself. She and Simon had been lovers and he had wanted to make their relationship permanent. His new job, however, took him to a distant part of the country and Sarah had been offered a wonderful position on a large syndicate newspaper chain. Torn between her love for Simon and her ambitions for the job she had always wanted, she chose her career. Subsequently having had to shake off other suitors and suffering a number of reversals, she realized her mistake the hard way.

They Stand Beside Us
The path of countless ages has been trod By many a scholar now forgotten, save For the inscribed tombstone of his grave (If not already sunken ‘neath the sod). And if these men be now mere names or less, They’ve done their share to keep the School alive, And uphold that tradition we derive From those men in the days of Good Queen Bess; And we must let our fame be ne’er outshone, Holding aloft the school’s honour and name, That she may continue to rise in fame, Surpassing heights attained in years now gone. However, this our work cannot be done Unless a share is taken by each one. — Flight Lieutenant Benjamin Robinson DFC RAF, former CRGS pupil, Killed in Action over Germany, 17th June 1944.

Change Everything
We are living in a social, political, economic and environmental emergency. The status quo is profoundly unstable; change is inevitable. Now is the time to get together to build a far healthier and more balanced world, it is time to Change Everything. Natalie Bennett is on a mission to transform the way we think about our world. She explains how universal basic income will decommodify time and free people up to choose how best to use their energy and talents; she emphasises the importance of free education for everyone, for life; she encourages the pooling of assets, from sharing tools with your neighbour to fairly enjoying the planet’s natural resources. From organising a litter pick or petitioning for a pedestrian crossing, from rethinking the financial markets and tax havens to re-evaluating the criminal justice system, Natalie has formulated a holistic, hopeful and practical vision for the future where people can really ‘do politics’. If we can bring together the imagination, talents and energy of everyone invested in change to rebuild and repair our societies, then a positive future is within our reach.
