You know what I mean?

That’s understandable, though unfortunately it doesn’t always prevent frustration. Let’s take the not-so-simple example of mowing the lawn. For some of his fellow pilots, he’s starting too early—precisely when they’d have time to fly; for others, he’s starting too late, since the grass is too long for small wheels. How should he proceed? Should he change his plan—and in which direction? Instead of zigzagging or throwing in the towel, I recommend clear and straightforward action—including making adjustments. An Arabic proverb says: “The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.” That means Christmas is already just around the corner. With that in mind, I wish everyone a restful holiday season and a great start to the new year. ■
