Thirsty
people make a difference.
Thirsty
people ask questions like why, how come, what happens then, what if … oh my,
they ask a lot of what if questions.
Are you thirsty? Thirsty people form habits –
habits of
shipping, of pressing play, of publishing, of going it alone if necessary.
Oh, we don’t have to be
thirsty. We can accept the normal
mindset, the usual, the expected. We can
continue to accept things as they are, and miss a whole passel of possibilities.
We could do that, I suppose.
We could let
fear kill our thirst.
Broken promises
kill thirst for sure.
And people
have even been punished for being thirsty – for asking questions.
Sometimes
schools and universities kill thirst by focusing on grades and not on the
learning process.
But you and
I are thirsty. We seek new information
in different places. We read from a
variety of sources, authors and magazines that sometimes challenge and stretch
us.
We are thirsty.
Come
along. Let’s be thirsty together.
We are not
threatened by the new, the obscure source, or the out-of-bounds idea. We are thirsty people after all.
We don’t
swallow every drink that comes along, but we taste, we hold it in our mouths,
we swish it around, we sniff it out, we sample and see how it goes down. We’re not careless, but we are curious.
And of
course, we spit it out when necessary.
I like
thirsty. Thirsty is a game-changer.
Are you
thirsty, too?
