Ramblings, including how to react to disappointments

 I finally got around to watching the Al Gore programme - An Inconvenient Truth.  This is a very powerful programme that really makes the case for caring over the environment.

He referred to a Mark Twain quote: “What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know, it’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so”.  I’m going to be writing more later.

Whilst appreciating the message, I also wondered if he would have done so much in this area if he had become president? Missing out on that, under the particular circumstances must have been the most dreadful disappointment, but people do turn around from disappointments and go on to great things.  I remember having a poor appraisal from a manager who did not appreciate my approach, this led me to move to a new area and, well, I wouldn’t be where I am now without it.

What about you? Have you had a disappointment that has resulted in something good?
