larry, woody and me
Some comedians and comedy writers would make excellent planners.
Larry David would have been a classic, for instance.
'Anyone can be confident with a full head of hair. But a confident bald man - there's your diamond in the rough.'
Also
'If you tell the truth about how you're feeling, it becomes funny.'
Insight, is the comedy writers stock in trade.
In fact a cheat I often use when looking for nuggets around any given topic is to search for jokes about it.
We're working with a mental health not-for-profit, so of course I went straight to Woody Allen to see what I could find.
'More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.'
'Most of the time I don’t have much fun. The rest of the time I don’t have any fun at all.'
and
'My one regret in life is that I am not someone else.'
Unfortunately the reverse is not true. I've not met that many planners who were great comedians.
Not intentionally anyway.
