I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood. That the speaking profits me, beyond any other effect. | |

Spoken And Shared

i always tell people that it’s so important that they ‘come to the meeting’ and say what they wish to say rather than passing bits of it back and forth, only to be misinterpreted.
Original message: “Send reinforcements. We are going to advance.”
Message received (after intermediaries): “Send three and fourpence. We are going to a dance.”
Exactly
