Wrong priority?

Posted by Claudia Moser on 7:03 PM in ,
Despite having a bad cold, I decided to travel to Estonia for a workshop organised for our current project. For me, being in a critical stage for the project implementation, I considered my attendance a priority and I was hoping to have some great insights and learn something useful.

Strangely enough I am dissapointed. Most likely due to my health and my unability to focus 100% but also because I am not actually seeing an added value after the first day. I do hope (cos hope dies last right?) that tomorrow it will better, both with my cold and also with the work aspects.

One thing I have taken with me after the day, I was reminded of this great story:

Four blind men encounter an elephant. One grabs the leg and concludes it is a tree trunk. One holds the tail thinking it is a whip. Another touches the elephant's trunk and decides it's a hose and the fourth man pats the side concluding it's a wall.

The wise man tells them, "All of you are right."



I hope you all are healthy and having a better Thursday, I would feel actually better knowing that!

Oh Claudia,
sorry to read that you are unwell.

I do hope that tomorrow is better for you both health wise and work wise!

Take care of yourself.

I hope you feel better soon--I hate having to concentrate when I'm in a miserable way with a cold. Some hot soup and perhaps a good night's rest :) Cheers, Jenn


Dear girl...I do hope you start feeling better sooner than later. You are a whirling dervish of activity but even a dervish must take care.
Hugs~

Poor baby girl! (((hugs))) I recommend some hot tea with lemon and honey and of course, some rich thick chicken noodle soup. Then get some sleep and drink lots of O.J.
It's a bad day when you aren't up to snuff AND your course is making you feel like you shoulda aughta have stayed home in bed. :(


Oh...so bummed that you're not feeling well while you're out of town. I hate when that happens! Hopefully you'll get some rest in between workshops, etc.


Being sick sucks. I hope you feel better. Interesting story about the blind men.

@Fiona - Friday was a better day and Saturday just perfect :) Thank you for your kind words.
@Jenn - yes, concentration is very hard to achieve while sick. A good night sleep was just what I needed!
@Sush - you are so sweet and caring, thank you!
@Eva - doing my best!
@Diane - well, the work is behind me at least for one more day.
@Beth - so kind of you, still not at 100% but trying!
@Luan - the workshop was not what I expected, but such is life.
@Kathy - so true!
@Jo - tea and chicken soup are always welcome!
@Susan - I eventually slept for 12 hours!
@Joyce - the story is good indeed!

Motto

"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."
