All important meetings have a beginning, a muddle, and an end. The difference between those which accomplish something worthwhile and those which don’t is a function of how well they work through and out of the muddle: did they cut it short? Did they choose the easy way out? Did they use only brute force? Did they stay with it until they experienced breakthrough? Did they allow something new to emerge from nowhere and everywhere? Failure might as much be making some huge ugly building as in doing nothing. Good might be as much in doing nothing as in feeding hungry children. How well did we muddle?
