“This is your captain speaking, I’m sorry to inform you that we are expecting a delay in takeoff.” Collective sighs, eyes-rolling. Frantic texting and emailing...annoying, if you feel cheated for all the rush. More concerning, if you have a connecting flight to make your meeting where you’re the one presenting.
On the airplane there’s not much we can do about the situation, except meditate or medicate. (I’ll leave it to you to discern which one serves you more.)
But how often do we in our own life deliberately create delays?
