Did you know I write a monthly article for subscribers to my email list?
I just sent this month's out, and I think it turned out pretty good. (Of course, I might be a bit biased.) Here's how it begins:
If Ridgeview Elementary School no longer conducts three-legged races, it’s probably my fault.
When your contest ends with two second-graders on the ground wailing in pain, administrators tend to reconsider the merits of such activities.
As you know from Under The Sun, I’ve always been a super competitive guy. Call it nature or call it nurture; I enjoy competing. So on that sunny day at Ridgeview when they linked my right ankle with the left of classmate Elizabeth, my blood started pumping in anticipation of that word, “Go!”
But if you know anything about three-legged races, you know success relies more upon coordination than determination. As such, forcefully running down the field even if it means dragging your companion through the dandelions, would not be a good strategy. Maybe someone should have told me that earlier.
