For most of my career I’ve been very lucky to have avoided major injuries Picture Quote #1

If our education had included training to bear unpleasantness and to let the first shock pass until we could think more calmly, many an unbearable situation would become manageable, and many a nervous illness avoided. There is proverb expressing this. It says, trouble is a tunnel thorough which we pass and not a brick wall against which we must break our head Picture Quote #1

Management gurus in general are, I think, best avoided. All too often they reduce your working life to a list of rules to be followed. Targets are aimed at. Goals kicked at. You then break the rules or forget them and, hey presto, you start beating yourself up Picture Quote #1

Besides, humans aren’t prey. They are our natural enemies. They are to be avoided Picture Quote #1

A world without right or wrong was a world that did not want itself, anything other than itself, or anything not those two things, but that still wanted something.

It avoided eye contact, but touched your knee sometimes. It was the world without right or wrong. It didn’t have any meaning. It just wanted a little meaning Picture Quote #1
