Why Rocks Are Hard

Rocks are Hard and Water is Wet.

This is one of my guiding principles in life and therefore work. 

You can not change these facts, so don't discuss why and how, and wouldn't it be better if Rocks were soft and Water dry, or doesn't it suck, and I wish that rocks weren't hard, or my life would be so much better if water was mushy.

RECOGNIZE what is. That is the reality you have to move FROM, not stew IN.

People are who they are....avoid those that you don't like or others that continually take without reciprocation.

What CAN be is that people and groups can have and ATTITUDE that progress and change is possible -- so they can move towards a new definition of rocks and water.... now that's productive.

Rocks are Hard and Water is Wet is one of the culture statements at Double Forte -- a notion that we can move from a situation to a new & improved situation if we acknowledge where we are, identify where we want to be and chart a course to that place....and don't waste valuable time or suck valuable energy on what ifs that aren't possible.
