Found myself getting quite tough with someone this evening in a way I know I could not have found within me thirty years ago. I'm not happy at the change, by the way, but I accept it as a necessary part of the business of getting things done. I don't like feeling that others have authority over me, and, equally, I dislike wielding authority over others.
The only justification I can see for either is when the result of whoever wielding whatever authority is something that is, in some sense, better than what there was before. The problem is that results take time to emerge and until they do you have to live with uncertainty.
Nobody said life was easy.And weren't they right!
