WORD OF THE DAY: GOAL
shifting the goalpost = moving from your original position

One Table Topic stood out for its use of simile:
People are like teabags, their true strength comes out in hot water.

From Molly's P6 speech, 'Focus on the Big Picture', she encouraged us to "relook, rethink, revise" our priorities and to chase the alternate five Cs:
Commitment,
Compassion,
Contribution to Community
Character

Use of a powerful analogy:
Holding a glass of water in her hand, Molly asked the audience,
"What would happen if you hold the glass for a minute? How about an hour? How about a day?"
Your hand will ache, it will feel pain, it might become paralyzed.  What is the solution?
PUT IT DOWN! Similarly, we hold on to our problems and become paralyzed with the weight of it. We need to put our problems down.
