Audere est facere. - 13 February 2012 11:02153240Anyone who came into my office while I was staring at the wall would get told "I may not look as if I am doing anything but I am doing some serious thinking...."

- 13 February 2012 11:13153245When I deliver the coaching days for groups of senior managers I advise them to build "thinking time" into their days - to plan to sit and ponder. Some are surprised by this advice, but without it all work is reactive rather than strategic. So.....watching paint dry is a good plan!!! I recommend it!

West Ham, do they still have a team? : ) - 13 February 2012 14:01153288still have a team barry, not as good as the one that won the world cup in 1966 though.

- 13 February 2012 18:49153356What is this life so full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
To stand beneath the leafy boughs,
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars like skies at night.
No time to see when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to wait till her mouth can,
Enrich the smile her eyes began.
What is this life, if full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
