Today's children grow up expecting glass screens to sense exactly when and where they are being touched. Tomorrow's children may well expect computers to read their very thoughts. It's not any more far fetched than the current reality sounded to most people just a few decades ago. But somebody had to be first to see a different possibility and then work on ways to make it into a reality. It won't take you years, nor even months, to imagine and apply a brilliant new way to meet a current need. It will just take vision.Seeds, before they take root and grow, don't fill in forms requesting planning permission. They don't conduct feasibility studies. They don't write health and safety reports. Nor do they take out insurance in case they fail to reach fruition. They follow a natural impulse and trust the circumstances in which they find themselves. If the inspiring idea that you're now beginning to be blessed with is really the right urge to pursue, you won't need to do much more than make an effort not to get in its way.Letters once began with a salutation and ended with an appropriate valediction. Special rules governed the use of 'Yours faithfully' or 'Yours sincerely'. It didn't much matter that often the correspondence was neither faithful nor sincere. It was understood that they probably weren't very dear to each other, either. But manners were manners. This brings further exchanges for which there appears to be no established protocol. But there is still a convention that should be identified and honoured.
Adults used to be keen to teach children their table manners. 'Hold the cutlery this way.' 'Don't speak with your mouth full.' Yet many today, don't even seem to know what a dining table is, for they eat off their laps, in front of the TV screen. But at least they understand the social etiquette of texts, when to reply and whether to include kisses. You now find yourself in a situation where normal rules of engagement don't seem so relevant. But there is still a 'form' that you would do well to identify and adhere to
 Attack', they say, 'is the best form of defence.' But just because they say this, it isn't always true. The very best form of defence is actually a blank refusal to be on the defensive. Those who are open, generous and fair, those who act with integrity and honour, the people who are sensitive and understanding, why should they ever want to attack? If someone would be misguided enough to attack them, their best form of defence would be to say, 'Hey, what's your problem? Shall we talk?' Your kindness is your greatest asset. Weigh the situation and words.
