swishism

“Planes of thought need to land, calm skies cause turbulence
semaphore.wave.inspiration - she’s hurtling!” - [verb]swish

Great ideas can crash and burn when they are left cruising overhead at altitude, or they can (literally) live to tell the tale.

We can scream attention to the ideas that are ‘out there’, manoeuvring them to touchdown on runways (paper) with ready pens (flags), or not.

How urgent is your wave?

A word to the wise who are in a tailspin trying to find the right gift today. From the heart is always best.

Equally this swishism is a part of any  good work/idea ethic…

Consider a race where the resourceful, brainstorming type walks calmly at the starter’s gun, whilst others bolt out of the blocks. The sprinter’s strategy is to get a headstart: (1) good education, (2)the right networks, (3) a good job — and then to maintain his lead against a tide where 1) tends to stop after compulsory schooling and 2) and 3) consume lots of energy.

This is, of course, the story of the hare and the tortoise, only this swishism adapts the tale slightly to endow our hero in a half-shell with forethought and an innovative spirit. In the children’s story, the Hare gets complacent, takes a nap and the tortoise just factors his discipline over time.  In reality I don’t think either are necessarily true, although hares do waste a lot of time and energy stacking hurdles that they can’t dont wont to  jump over, they aren’t all complacent; equally, few tortoises win without initative.
