Life in six words or less

Legend has it that Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”

I've become hooked on Smith Magazine's six word memoirs. Here are a few of my favourites

Fifteen years of therapy for this?!

Missed today while planning for tomorrow.

What a great idea for working with groups? I occasionally use Haiku as a way of focussing on what people really want to talk about - or, as a way of evaluating or summarising a wide ranging process.

So - what would your six word or less statement be? Here are a couple I composed earlier:

Be rational … always an irrational request

I'm going to tag a few people to get started...Terence, Johnnie, Lori, Matt.
