He who thinks he is raising a mound may only in reality be digging a pit ...... Ernest Bramah
How many times have you gone to do one thing, but ended up creating the exact polar opposite!
In 2011 I experienced a particularly fractious relationship with someone I worked for. The more she complained and criticised the more I tried to please, to anticipate, to address, but to no avail. In the end she resigned. I don't think this was the result she was looking for.
The mound she was raising turned out to be a hole she dug herself into. I learnt a lot from this experience.
I hope you are travelling well in 2012, best

Oh, I love this quote and it makes me reflect. What am I digging or building via the way I'm living? Or, am I just getting my hands dirty? Is that good? Thanks for the thought-provoking wondering.
