Catalyst

Thursday, April 16, 2009

I was listening to this old favorite of mine called the "Sometimes you can't make it on our own" by U2. But what do we do when we want to do something we can't do it alone? We find someone to bridge the gap. Find someone to compliment your drive with work. That guy is the catalyst.
Now the catalyst is not just somebody who is passing the idea from one end to the next, this person is actually improvising. Because that is what is making him vital. He is that bridge. Value the catalyst. Value being the catalyst. It's a very important part of accomplishing valuable tasks. After all, completing something is more important than doing it alone.

Fun Test

There may never be a wrong time to join something, there's always a right time to quit. There is this simple test to know when something is not working out and its time to quit. There are even books written about it. But there's really just one single test.

When something stops being fun, its time to let go.

It applies to all situations, jobs, projects, relationships, even children. When children have developed their own personalities, and you lose influence over it. Its time to let go of the resentment and accept it as a part of their personality.
