Do you need time?
Silly question.
I need time to get out of bed in the morning, due to the amount of obstruction caused by clicking bones and straining joints, yep I’m about to enter into a new decade where I get free medications, and eye tests, so I can only expect things to be uncomfortably rolling downhill from here on in.
But all joking aside it’s good to have time. I’d love to live forever as I do enjoy life but that’s never going to happen is it?
We all have time but to be honest it’s borrowed time isn’t it? As we just do not know what awaits us just around the corner.
At the risk of sounding morose, I’ll up the tempo a tad.
It’s always good to take your time and not be rushed into things, important decisions especially, such as big purchases, investments etc. Take time, think it over. You get the picture.
At work we have a superb safety protocol called “Take 5”. In the past we’ve had too many people, especially the young and inexperienced, who want to impress, rush straight out onto live train tracks only to find they are now face to face with a 2000 ton behemoth freight train bearing down on them at great speed, believe me it’s not a great position be in. New underwear please!
By just getting a bearing on where you are, knowing your position of safety, being aware of the people you need to be in contact with, and establishing a safe method of working, means you live to work another day.
The above paragraph applies pretty much to how life should approached, don’t you think?
I knock my company just like all my other fellow employees do, in fact it’s a well known thing that worldwide we all knock our employers from time to time. But the fact I have worked with them for half my adult life says that things can’t be all that bad.
And when it comes to answering the question “So do you need time?” They’ve got it exactly right, they’ve changed the way we think.
Stay safe, have a lovely day.
