The Daily Question
What were you talked into
that turned out well?
Most of the good things in a life were somebody else's idea first.
The job you would not have applied for. The night out you had already decided against. The dog. The house that was wrong on paper. Somebody said go on, and you went, largely to stop them asking.
We tell it afterwards as though we chose it. We did choose it, in the end. But the push came from outside, and if that person had said nothing that week the whole thing would have gone another way.
Worth knowing who those people were. A fair few of them have no idea what they set off.
