Beautiful piece of writing. I see a novel on three generations of your family and ending with you finding your passion to write.

Yes Amira, we are indeed our story. And with every passing moment, we become more so.

But what if…… What if we could peel away that story? Who could we become then? That is what I attempted to find out….

Thank you for your comment, I truly appreciate.

We are our story – we will not be us, without what made us, without what we felt, what we thought.

Nice write up – thought provoking

I feel you are misplaced in an office, which is exactly how I feel. Exactly.

My grandmother was born in 1910 (rip)! Love how you forwarded 50 years, & forwarded 50 years.

Interesting piece. I felt it much.

Comment on Winchester and the follies of Leadership by Shakti Ghosal

Hi Eric,

Loved the way you handled the situation. Well done! I guess it all comes down to the power of one’s intentions and the possibilities one sees in the moment.In my story I had considered it prudent not to push but rather move out as I could not foresee a “win-win” situation, which to me, is the bedrock of any successful partnership.

Cheers

Shakti

You were very kind to Stan.

Found myself in a similar situation once and called for time out – to use the toilet. When I returned, I apologised that I had received a call on my cellphone and had to cut short our meeting to attend to something urgent. I was the client, they were the service provider – I called the shots, they agreed.

Subsequently, I called ‘Nick’ to meet me at my hotel – making clear that I wanted to see him alone.

The ‘Nick’ in my episode got the hint – and when we met, he apologised for my wasted morning. We did the deal.

I did enjoy meeting the old man – the ‘Stan’ in my episode – over cocktails, and learned much from him and about him.
