Well, anyone else that quotes Bruce Lee can't be all bad. They must at least be on the path to enlightenment lol. Glad to hear about the tests, no wonder Faith was freaked out when she discovered the testing. That must've been really hard on her with everything else going on. I hope it's a weight off for her. You owe her a nice dinner (her choice, not pizza).
One of the best things I learned is that apologies or amends are best the faster they are done. I used to be really bad about this, letting things go until "the heat wore off", or until I felt the "timing was right". The time is right as soon as you can bring yourself to do it.
Happy weekend! Get out and celebrate!
Yeah Kris, when she found that testing thing she freaked out at me. Wasn't too pleasant. I get it though, it's just that...Well I'm an idiot sometimes. Dinner huh? Not pizza? Hmm...You're probably right. I'll defer to your better judgement on the matter.
I couldn't agree with this more! I was the same, and even then the apology smacked of insincerity...Not because I didn't mean it, I just grudgingly gave it to preserve my own ego like a dick head. These days, well even in the heat of battle I can usually understand when an apology is required and I give it...I tend to be more problem/fact focused. Of course Kris, I make mistakes. Quite clearly.
Thanks for your message mate. I can always rely on you for guidance, intelligent dialogue and you know...It always seems to get delivered with calm assurance. You're a good chap.
I'm glad when some of my hard learned experiences can perhaps save others some of the time or pain that I spent learning them. I can be quite stubborn many times still, and I used to be much more hard headed into learning things for myself. I suppose with age comes a little wisdom and giving in to some of those outer voices. Enjoy the weekend!
People lament getting older Kris, but there's benefits I think. Of course I'd rather be 32 and know what I know now, but that's impossible so I'll just be me, learn, grow and develop and hopefully set a good example for others through my own hard-earned wisdom. As do you. ✅
