Good thought from Seth Godin's blog...

...."Sometimes we spend more time than we should defending the old thing, instead of working to take advantage of the new thing. I bet you can list a dozen "critical" industries that will be as relevant to life in 2020 as Singer is to our world today.

The key difference is that back then, managers and shareholders could stall and fumble and wait out the transition until after they retired. Now, it's almost an annual event. Hiding isn't working, and neither is whining. The best marketing strategy is to destroy your industry before your competition does."...

Remarkably

It is remarkably hard to find extension dining tables, and chocolate brown desks and returns.

It is remarkably difficult to find a suitable dark coloured carpet.

It is remarkably tiring to go from place to place trying to find things for insurance quotes.

However, it is remarkably easy to change a tired, annoyed perspective into a grateful and gracious one.

Thankfulness - a choice often overlooked but simple to do - remarkably so.
