Hi David, Heather, Linda and all others watching this thread,
Linda, I'm sorry if I put you in the spotlight back there in the thread. I've seen a few extra hits on that link in my control panel. I know it may have been an "Oh my God!" moment when you first saw it. Even mentioning it again draws further attention so I'll stop.
Heh...heh... but you did remark: "Just two lines. TWO!" and when you wave a red rag at a bull well...
David, you said:
============================
"Gary, perhaps you could do an interview of Peter now. I am willing to suggest that it would be equally as refreshing as Linda's."
============================
I would be very pleased to do that. Over to Peter if that is what he would like. Not everybody feels comfortable being interviewed though. I have had far more rejections than acceptances. It is up to the individual.
I am always interested in interviewing people who are leaders in their field. I'm sure PB qualifies. The interviews are quite exhaustive for both sides. But I'm up for it, since it was mentioned here.
Also, David, you mentioned somewhere about the journey and the destination. I had an immediate thought when I saw that but had to attend to some business matters and have only just returned from it many hours later. So I have forgotten the exact words but not the context.
My thought was aligned to taking a vacation. The expectation and excitement often outweigh the end result.
To explain - think back to the last holiday that you had. The BEST time, usually, is the lead up to leaving for the location - packing the suit cases, reading the brochures, boarding the plane or ship or whatever... that first little drink of something nice. Ahhh... the moment has finally arrived. Expectation gives way and wonderment sets in. What will you see? Who will you meet? What will the weather be like? What will happen next? That sort of thing.
Sometimes the destination can be disappointing. Sometimes it can even be a disaster but ALWAYS the count down is a period of great excitement.
Then after it has been and gone it becomes yet another experience.
I equate that to the business journey. Make sense?
Gary Simpson.
