Are You Too Damn Close To The Landscape To See The Entire View?


I've spent the best part of the day installing my new wireless network at home.

The idea behind it is that I can work and surf the 'net out in the back garden if I fancy it...and Katie can learn stuff whenever (and wherever) she wants to without getting in my way!

But...guess what?

Instead of taking the expected 15 minutes ot so...it took about four hours!

Isn't it always the way when you follow instructions to install ANYTHING on a computer...they always forget to tell you do something?

I only found out what the 'missing' link when I visited the company's support web site...and trawled through answers to questions that I didn't understand!

Now...I'm certainly no techie-virgin...and it was one huge struggle for me to finally get it to work...so imagine what it would have been like for a 'normal' consumer!

It can be so frustrating sometimes!

It got me thinking that we are ALL like that instruction booklet...

We assume that we if we just follow instructions...magic will happen...and big changes will happen in our lives!

It's just a shame that out little human instruction book forgets to mention that there will ALWAYS be something that you need to do...when you don't realize that you need to do it.

It may be obvious to people on the outside looking in...but usually you are just too damn close to your landscape that you can't see the entire view.

With that in mind...try and connect with people who will help you reveal that big picture.

And...don't assume that YOU know it all!
