the last few months I have been taking mental notes of ideas that people have and tried to follow the path to its success or lack of implementation. One of the things that struck me was the importance of timing and the wisdom required in sharing our thoughts and ideas at the right time.
One example was of a friend who has done some research work who shared some revelatory ideas over coffee the week before a presentation to eager listeners. Near the end of the conversation I asked if he had thought how the listeners at the forthcoming presentation would receive his findings….his reply stunned me……”they are not ready to hear this at the moment, I will only share the first thoughts, the meat of my research can wait until they are ready to receive it.”
That was wisdom, wisdom of the highest order. How often there may be great ideas that just need patience before they are shared….after all, timing is everything!

well it has been tough so far this year but there again we all face tough times. The charity is doing well on the ground but there feels like a lot of firefighting with big and small issues, plenty of late nights early mornings and so forth. So the diary is full and the to do list is getting bigger very quickly. To cap it all, the room next door to our office flooded this morning…….heavy rain water and also a bit of sewage. I am cold and wet and attempting to get my head round a to completing some of the to do list.
The good news…….this lunchtime I am meeting a couple of friends who will overlook my muddy shoes and trousers, they will cheer me up, challenge my thinking, broaden my horizons and allow me to enter the weekend a cheerier person than I feel right now. Looking forward to it!
