Theos-Talk Archives (March 2009 Message tt00698)

I want to modify something you said. There are many like me, who work
fulltime and find time to talk in spite of busy work. The trick is simple.
You need commitment and time management. Once you prioritize your tasks it
is easy. As an MBA you can appreciate this!

You are right on other issues. If your food and shelter depends on the whims
of leaders, then you have to be very careful; otherwise you will be in the
streets with one wrong step. When people expect money, platform or other
favors, then you can control their behaviour. That seems to be what is going
on. Let us all have some patience. Time is a big solver. Internet
juggernaught will take care. Either get on it or get crushed.
