Let's start the week with....

....a 'they say' moment.  (Aye, that's me bucking the usual trend, again.) 
They say 'Attack is the best form of defence.' But just because they say this, it isn't always true. Nothing new there, then!  The very best form of defence is actually a blank refusal to be on the defensive. Those who are open, generous and fair, those who act with integrity and honour, the people who are sensitive and understanding, why should they ever want to attack?  
 
 
If someone would be misguided enough to attack them, their best form of defence would be to say something like, 'Hey, what's your problem? Shall we talk?'
Your kindness is your greatest asset.
 
 
 
 
Running away from your problems is a race you'll never win.

Don't people just love....

.....speeches and soliloquies, announcements and orations. They elect, for example, politicians on the strength of their ability to make eloquent points. All of us with an IQ higher than the room temperature know that none of them will ever act on their promises, so we figure we may as well just vote for the ones who sound good.
 
 
Yet some words really do have meaning. And that's why they should be used sparingly.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Everyday you wait is another day you won’t get back.

I have it on good authority that....

....Facebook doesn't have a 'dislike' button. And, apparently, you can't select various people from your sphere of acquaintanceship and invite them to become your enemies. It is simply not set up as a platform for argument.  Most postings involve people offering each other support of some kind. 
 
 
Even in what we used to call the 'real world', conflict is often avoided.  There are times when you may have to express a view very strongly, but before doing so try being bland and polite. It may just do the trick.


Don't waste your valuable time with people that are not adding to your growth. Your destiny is too important.
