End of a journey....

I was searching for a quote to best describe the situation and I found more than what I was looking for. Here it is-
Pull the string, and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it and it will go nowhere at all. It's just that way when it comes to leading people. - General Dwight D. Eisenhower [He used to demonstrate the art of leadership with a simple piece of string. He'd place the string on the table and say the above.]

Letting go of something is so easy. If at all getting back time and people were so easy, things wouldn't be so tough. It is time for retrospection and a little insight into things. If you must play, decide upon three things at the start: the rules of the game, the stakes, and the quitting time. A good balance of hard workers and smart workers is the formula to successful project management.

Meanwhile I'm enjoying this phase with less pressure at work. The past weekend was fabulous. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next 2 months - a lot of traveling to do - it is going to be tiring but it will be fun too.
