"The secret of change ...

[i-need-a-martini]

...is to focus all of your energy, not on the fighting of the old, but on the building of the new." 

A good tip for Mr Abbott perhaps.

That was Socrates BTW.

Is that why Labor have just re-cycled their old PM?

I actually posted it because when I read it I thought it was an apt quote to associate with Rudds commentrs about change. He's a forward thinker and the quote is very much about that.

It was only later that I thought how differently Abbott might be percieved if he stopped focusing so heavily on past negatives.

I thought you were passing on words of wisdom to CS posters.

Words of wisdom to CS posters????

That would be like "skin off a ducks back", to quote Donna

The secret of change is coins.
