The Real Meaning Of Busy

Seeing people busily trying to put their lives back together gives you some real perspective about what busy really means.

I'm constantly on the go -- to Milan, back to Pescara, out of this meeting and into that one -- and I love it. It fuels me.

But watching the aftermath of the earthquake, and how its survivors are coping with the devastation, is a powerful reminder that what I love isn't the motion, it's the results. The opportunity to put a show together, to meet new people, to help them find their own possibilities even in impossible circumstances and against impossible deadlines.

It's the accomplishment, the team-building, the learning and the creating that come out of all the travel and meetings and scurryings and scrambling that not only are the real meaning of busy.

That’s what gives busy-ness real meaning!
