ADD Foibles: Oops, Did I Misread That?

Ok, just for the record, I do not really follow sports and am not much of a spectator, unless I’m watching my daughter. So, why I am reading Sports business daily? Good question, thanks for asking. I am interested in the human interest side of sports. You know, like following the exploits of A-Rod and Madonna…

In this case, it was the reporting about Major League players and their use of stimulants for AD/HD, as reported in this article that caught my attention. And you know, it is hard to catch my attention…

As I was preparing to write this blog, I realized that I had misread the article. So then I decided that I was going to use the article, anyway. There is nothing like hitting your head against the wall by trying to create something from nothing. When I let go of the idea that I was going to use the article to write a blog, I felt much better and more creative.

The lesson for me was: Don’t hit your head against the wall. I think I’ve learned that lesson before. I guess repetition is good. The other lesson was that sometimes letting go allows me to be more at peace and more creative.

Sometimes, as a colleague of mine is fond of saying, “you have to let the fish run.”
