The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Oh...I see...how silly of me...I should have known you are too busy to listen.

I should have noticed your inability to make eye contact, your looking over my shoulder, your interruptions...it all makes sense...you are too busy

1.     There are lots of potholes where I drive and I listen to self-help CDs while I am driving.

2.     Business Contains Only 3 Things: People, Process, & Situations

If you want to teach people how to drink water, don't stuff garden hoses down their throats.

Good things come in small packages.

Good education comes in small packages.

If you want to teach people how to drink water, provide them repeated opportunities to gain experience sipping from small, half-full drinking glasses.

***

If you want to teach people how to drink water, bring the right tools...bring simple tools, like drinking glasses...no garden hoses...no fire hoses...no artesian well trackers or fancy 24-hour, on-demand pumps or state-of-the-art osmosis gizmos...

...just drinking glasses.
