I also understand my limitations, which is essential if you are going to get a true assessment of your own importance.<br /><br />The trouble is, that everyone needs to understand everyone else's importance in any given situation for any of this to be any use at all.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-12057500750955828132016-02-16T12:49:02.220-08:002016-02-16T12:49:02.220-08:00A good lesson learnt .

And not being made liable for recourse takes up a lot of precious time too - symptom of our over-anxious time (starts with nutrition).
