Thought for the day


I've just found this very comforting quotation:

Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.
Einstein (who else?)

So that's the answer. I'm a fish, and I must stop trying to climb trees. Voila. Success at last!

    That's a very profound quotation, Frnaces - maybe we should all frame it!

    What a wonderful analogy! Me too - I can stop climbing, can't I ?

    I've not been trying to climb trees - maybe I should give it a go?

    Don't bother, Patsy. Just write a bestseller...
