170 – It Looked Good On Paper

It Looked Good On Paper… Every Wednesday I regal you with a story from somewhere in my unusual and interesting life. It could be funny, sad, serious or disturbing, the important thing is that every story has a lesson. The name of today’s story is; It Looked Good On Paper. Even though these are my stories, you can apply these lessons to your own life, or perhaps they will remind you of your own similar story and the lessons you learned from it. Either way, you should be entertained. As you listen I really want you to consider your own stories, when did you learn these lessons? Can you remember? Sometimes digging up your own past can have great benefit, especially if you are made to remember that one singular moment in time when you learned something vital. It’s almost like learning it all over again. That…is the purpose of these stories. In fact, I think there is nothing quite so human as the hearing and telling of stories. It’s how our ancestors conveyed critical information from one generation to the next. The stories told around campfires the world over are what eventually shaped our species into what it is today. Today’s story, called It Looked Good On Paper, you know those times when something seems like a really good idea? You go over it in your mind, on paper, everything checks out…and then you are 100% wrong? That’s kind of what this story is about. As usual, I would love to hear your feedback on this, or any of the other episodes. Your feedback and input is greatly appreciated.
