Cherokee Thought of the Day

Ideas are like eggs in an incubator.  They must be kept warm and protected until they have grown enough to hatch.  Our nee to go wo ni ha, talk on and on, can do away with a promising situation before it has ever had time to take form.  Left to develop, it may have been a great blessing to many -- but tampering with it in our belief that we can do anything and say anything aborts it.  There is time to speak and a time to keep silent, but it takes wisdom to know the time.  Most things can only stand one telling, and it had better be where it stands a chance to survive.  Until that time, don't talk, don't count.
