Some of us....

....have probably heard about a king in ancient Britain who sat on this throne by the sea and attempted to turn back the tide.  Canute was his name.  The thing is, he never seriously intended to turn back the tide. He went down to the water's edge in order to make a deliberate gesture to his troops and his advisers. 'Look,' he was saying. 'I may be of royal birth, blessed with a divine right to rule, but there are some forces that even I cannot command.' How very wise and how very brave.

If you acknowledge a weakness that you might prefer not to admit to, only  then you will start to develop a very real strength.

Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame.    (Alexander Pope)
