An entirely personal blog posting. You
have been forewarned.
“You are not impatient”, says my sister. “To
be impatient, you need to have some patience to begin with”.
She is spot on.
Today I started watching an “infomercial”
about a subject that interested me. On and on it went, droning over and over
the same points. No way to skip to a “bottom line”. Clicked it off midway.
Sure, I remember all the advice that to
reach an audience you need to tell them the same thing five ways as different
people learn different ways. Guess that might work with a captive audience,
that is, those still awake.
A question I sometimes ask myself is, “Have
you missed golden opportunities because you are too impatient to hear the whole
story?” Probably.
“Are you ahead of the game because you
didn’t waste time with damn fools that can’t get to the point?” My ego wants a
positive “YES” to that question.
One would surmise, after seven decades of
breathing air and taking nourishment, I should have learned to be more patient.
Hasn’t happened. If it does, I will need to change my blog title.
