You don’t know what you really think until you say it.
I’m struck by the amount of times people will make appointments to see me in hopes that I’ll have the answers to all their problems. I can tell, as they sit down, that their plan WAS to show up and articulate their thoughts in a clear and concise way. Yet something common happens when they open their mouth. As they begin to talk, a look of bewilderment and confusion covers their face as the unexamined thoughts that lived in the seclusion of the mind crosses the threshold of their mouth into the light of day. What they thought was a settled issue evolved and changed into something entirely different as it went from being internalize to being verbalized.
You don’t know what you really think until you say it. Our thoughts can deceive while community reveals the genius as well as the frailties of our thoughts. We all need people who we can bounce ideas off. Not every little thought that crosses our mind needs to be shared but the ones that take on a life of their own and have the power to begin to shape, or reshape us, need to be shared.
Speaking of which ….Have I ever told you the idea I had about a car that can use extinct birds as fuel? Birds that you’ve never head of like the Tahitian Red-billed Rail or the Mauritius Blue Pigeon would now be able to be burned to power your car. Now for all the tree huggers that are reading this take heart, this car would have a great exhaust that would produce ZERO toxic emissions thus making it Eco friendly. Net result: No more high fuel bills and no more annoying lists of lonely extinct birds.
…. Tell me what you think
