Monkey on my Shoulder
Reminded today very strongly of what a very wise colleague of mine told me a few years ago…. “?Think of a problem as a monkey sitting on a shoulder. When someone approaches you with a monkey on the shoulder, his or her main objective is to get the monkey to jump onto your shoulder. Your main objective is to keep the monkey sitting where it is.”
He added his own bit too, “…and if you have any of your own monkeys on your shoulder, try passing them off to the others as well!”
And that’s exactly how my day has been today.
