There are those days when it seems that everything you do is just wrong. Everything you say. Every action all just seem to be wrong.
I am just hoping that for the sake of the owner of this lovely little dog I have at least got this correct.
There are some people in life who do make big mistakes that almost brand them and haunt them for the rest of their lives.
The weatherman in the UK who said that there was no need to fear the predicted bad weather was not going to happen only to see the worst weather in years within the next few hours. To this day his name is associated with wrong weather predictions.
The recording company who turned down the Beatles said this, "We don't think the Beatles will do anything in their market. Guitar groups are on their way out." They got that well wrong and probably regretted it for many years.
Then. this one that has gone down in history. A bishop of a century ago pronounced from his pulpit and in the periodical he edited that, "Heavier-than-air flight was both impossible and contrary to the will of God."
Oh, the irony that Bishop Wright had two sons, Orville and Wilbur! Wright was wrong. Sure of himself, but wrong.
The chairman of the board of the company IBM said this, "I think there is a world market for about five computers." He most certainly got that wrong.
Lee de Forest the inventor of the cathode ray tube said this, "Theoretically, television may be feasible, but I consider it an impossibility, a development which we should waste little time dreaming about.
So I ask again have you ever had a day where everything went wrong? According to those around me yesterday I most certainly did.
But rejoice, with those exceptions like some of those above, it is so often the case that it is only in the opinion of others that everything you say and do is wrong and it is only their opinion. I am still very reluctant to agree with them.
As an old friend said to his closest friend, "If I agree with you then we will both be wrong."
Have a marvellous day.
