This seems to be my week for interesting quotes. This one
comes from an email. It was included as the signature line.
"Developing the capability is not the same as occupying the
arena."
It reminds me a little bit of something I heard years ago
about golf tips (btw, I am NOT a golfer - just don't have
enough coordination or patience for the game). This avid
golfer said that he didn't need more golf tips. What he needed
was the ability to follow the ones that he already had heard.
Seems that's true of the quote from the email. We can continue
to collect time and money-saving ideas. We can even organize
and save them. Print them out and put them in a notebook if we
want. But until we put them into practice, they won't save us
any time or money.
Based on the emails I get, most of you are already in the
arena and in the game. I just want to be sure that I'm
alongside you this coming year so that we can celebrate the
victory together!
