Yesterday we were talking about the decision not to engage.
He reminded me of a story I remember hearing when I was in middle school — less of a story more of a question.
And you are sitting in a beautiful garden had a small table with your teacher.Your teacher brings a tray with 2 teacups and a pot of tea.He pours you a cup of tea and one for himself.
He then reaches down and picks up a long stick from the ground.
Drink the tea, and I will hit with this stick. Do not drink the tea, and I will hit you with this stick.
What do you do?
The answer is to take the stick away.
I’ve talked with you before about C solutions.You don’t always have to pick A or B. Sometimes, it can be both.Sometimes neither.The questions and situations can usually be reframed for a better solution.
Look to take the stick away.
Speaking of C solutions.The choices aren’t memorize Cecils Or fail.
The Final Step is a C solution.
