“D” for digging graves

Posted on juli 25, 2012 by ledrakenoir

Letter “D” story challenge (idea from “frizztext“)

Vester Sottrup Church in southern Jutland (a part of Denmark),
not far from the border to Germany.
was german territory in the period 1864-1920
most people there are / were 2 languages speakers
a major part of the childhood was spent there
and I passed the church, both on way to school, to soccer or to shop.

to dig graves have nothing to do with churches or death in this context

but a version of the saying: “If you dig a grave for others, you may fall into it yourself”

To had the right and getting the right
it may be two different things
some are more interested in getting the right than to have it
maybe a matter of honor.

It is also often easier to get things go your way, if you let others get the glory
because many cares more about that, than thing goes as they wish.

So if you have a plan or idea burning inside you
then find someone who are burning inside for getting the glory
then you will succeed in it

otherwise you may dig your own grave.

So thought provoking Drake. I may have to ponder this one a bit. Indeed, one actions does determine the path one will travel. If positive, the route is pleasant and encourages growth. Thanks for making me think Drake !

  As one shouts into the woods, one get a reply back the same way (danish saying) – in my jobs as business manager it’s clearly to me, that you have to ‘sell’ your projects, so those should do the function feel for it as it was nearby their own – so you often get an excellent job done – and I would act same way my self… 😉
  
  Thanks for your sweet words… 😉

I:
Different things motivate different people.
Some are motivated by the almost always exciting process of reaching a desired goal.
Some are motivated by the desired Prize.

Combine these two kinds of motivation, and I think, you will have the beginning of a very properous and beautiful friendship, with no room for gravediggers.

Although – considering the say, “Better Safe, Than Sorry!” –
Remember to read every letter of the cooperation agreement before you sign! :–D

  ‘hahaha’ – you make me think of one of my old favorites – Michelle “of the Resistance” Dubois (Kirsten Cooke) – leader of the local “French Charles de Gaulle (the one with the big ‘ooter) Resistance” at the “Allo Allo” – “Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once”… 😉

  I think we much agree about this issue and – if “combine these two kinds of motivation, and I think, you will have the beginning of a very properous and beautiful friendship, with no room for gravediggers” – many many relationsships work that way… 😉

    I am very much like the nice Michelle “of the Resistance” Dubois.

  In many cultures, towers are very important – not least in terms of prestige – but it’s usually,or always, what you see first when you come to a new location – usually before the sounds and the scents… 😉
