Whadayathink?

As I walked down the office hallway, I saw the usual collection of colleagues: the talker, the former-engineer, the talker and the talker. Realtors, it seems, tend to be talkers.

There's a down-side to an office full of talkers. It is hard to steal away, to be completely and totally focused and alone. And it's hard to walk to the kitchen for a quick cup of coffee. Someone wants to talk. Always, someone wants to talk.

Have you ever noticed, talkers tend to be opinionated people? Well, there's the up-side to that. Today I needed help. I needed someone to critique my work. I needed an unbiased, honest opinion. So I walked to the kitchen and "got an earful" from several opinionated talkers. They gave me just what I needed.

And so ... today I'm raising a toast to the Opinionated Talkers of the World. Yes, you have faults. No, you aren't perfect. But you consistently share your wealth of knowledge and today I thank you for that gift.
