On Solving All of the World's Problems

An idea once came to me from out of the blue One that would solve all my problems, and the worlds' too I turned it around in my mind; inspected it from every angle Had to make sure that no loose ends did dangle I drew up sketches, blueprints, one after the other But I crumbled each one up; none satisfied my druthers 'Till at last I came up with one, perfect in every detail Only when I submitted it, the competition's had already set sail

See? You are already ahead of the game! Most people find the perfect solution in their dreams and only remember it after someone has taken action! Aloha! Rico

You gotta move and move fast because someone else is thinking the same thing. I.remember a while back there was a two line contest that I entered and mick Talbot had ,apart from two words that were in front or behind mine, we used exactly the same words, spooky or what, he didn't enter it of course or I would have sued for plagarism lol

Thanks for citing a great example, Tom!...And btw, need a lawyer? I'm Jewish, you know. Everybody I've ever met is either a lawyer or a doctor. LOL. (Ridiculous stereoypes die hard...I actually have two friends who are engineers. Imagine that. LOL). Best wishes, gw

That has happened to me also my friend - grab the moment with both hands is what I've learnt! Hugs, Jennifer.

That's the ticket, Jennifer: Full steam ahead; petal to the metal; throw caution to the wind...and GO FOR IT NOW... Thanks for the feedback. Appreciated. ~ gw

When you fixate on making everything perfect, you could lose the moment itself (my husband has been a bit guilty of that a time or two)

'my wife's husband' - very droll :)

It's 'all in the family,' Michelle. My wife's husband seems to be guilty here from time to time as well. LOL. Thank you for sharing the revealing feedback! Best wishes, Gershon
