The tenth of an inch of difference between heaven and hell is accepting things as they are or wishing them to be otherwise. – Zen Saying
That’s true in quilting too – those tenths of an inch add up to bad stuff!
And then there’s this way to have fun with geeks you know (or distract them so you can do other things without them asking you a lot of questions, LOL)
And then, I got offered some time to do training at work. Silly little 10-14 step things which have “things to reflect on” and very little content of their own, often ending with one to five quiz questions. They warn you that you won’t be able to go back to find the answers. They don’t tell you that if you guess wrong you can go back and change your answers. You get to figure that out on your own!
So, disgusted at the end of one of them, I decided I would actually do all of the reflection stuff right then and there since there was no point otherwise. I ended up doing a lot of online reading about Maria Callas, someone I know of but didn’t know a lot of detail about. And it turns out that as I sat there on web sites “not allowed” while you’re doing training, the training was actually useful to me. Not work-wise perhaps, but personally. Thanks boss.
The list of suggested folks to learn more about was: Albert Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi, Pablo Picasso, Martin Luther King Jr., John Lennon, Ted Turner, Martha Graham, Jim Henson, Thomas Edison, Alfred Hitchcock, Richard Branson, Muhammad Ali, Maria Callas, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Amelia Earheart.
Who would you choose on or off this list?
