I was watching SpongeBob SquarePants the other day and
a great line came out of Patrick; the dimwitted starfish. When asking what he
most wanted in the world he replied; ‘More time for thinking’. What a stroke of
genius. How many social situations can you think of that things would have
turned out for the better if you had a bit more time for thinking? It’s like
you need a personal pause button to consider all the options before making the
best decision. But you’ve always got that other person in front of you waiting
for an answer. Where to go for dinner? What are the places you can visit on the
way to dinner to cross off items on your own personal to-do list? How will the
other person react? And yet, that pause will really make the other person think
that you’re the dim-witted one if you don’t include them in the thought
process. ‘More time for thinking’? Best response ever.
