Recently I was placed in a precarious situation by someone asking, “why didn’t you tell me about so and so…?” I politely responded with “it’s not my story to tell” and moved on to another subject. This situation brought to mind the amazing Eleanor Roosevelt and a quote of hers, which is an all-time favorite of mine: “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.”
“Who” or “What” are you discussing these days?
