That one-of-a-kind migraine you feel when you see something done awfully wrong, and you have the skills to correct it.
You roll up your sleeves, pick the nearest, most powerful hose available, and start distinguishing all the fires you see with joy (and little anger too). You pour out the frameworks, knock some heads, with one united voice guiding your body and head…
“Wake up your idea!”
Sometimes though, the hose is really too strong. You end up sweeping people away, and drowning some. So while you’re trying to put out the fires, you might just end up drowning people…
And yourself.
Don’t get to that point. If you’re sunk, we’d have to wait for another time for another hero to emerge and set things right. Correct problems wisely and with patience. Yes, it erks the living lights out of you how things are done, but correcting problems at the expense of hurting feelings and causing chaos is not the way to go.
Just like threading a needle. You aim for the eye of the needle gently. Once that’s done, you can done pull firmly.
Thread lightly.
