Circles and lines

29th Aug. 2004

In the west, we are indoctrinated to adopt the view that everything moves in straight lines - if you want to accomplish something, pick your objective, make your plan, and then set out in the direction of your objective. Stay focused on that objective - always - and don't let anything divert you from your course. This is the best way to reach your objective.

Well, forget all that, when you come to Thailand (or - maybe all of Asia). Thailand doesn't work in straight lines - it works in circles. The way to proceed is to pick an objective, and start out in that direction. Then, when life starts pulling you off your course, don't fight it - go with the flow. Define the momentum that is carrying you - in a direction you didn't even intend to go - and figure out how to harness it, and reinforce it, and derrive success from it . Eventually - incredible as this may seem - the "circle" of life will sooner or later probably deposit you smack on top of your ORIGINAL objective, but arriving there from a totally unexpected direction.
