YHC struggled with writer’s block/Q block when trying to come up with some words of inspiration for the men of F3. That being said, I’ve learned over time that sometimes it’s what you don’t say that’s most important. I am a fairly quiet guy except when I need to be heard. Sometimes if you talk about everything and all the time, people stop listening. I’ve learned that if you learn to speak when it’s important, your words can be more impactful. During the mumble chatter, a comment was made about the exercises and I said “I have to stick with what I’m good at.” And that definitely applies here – I’m good at choosing the right time and place to be heard but at other times being silent and just listening. Sometimes, silence is golden.
Moleskin
The mumble chatter game was superb. Specifically, Sidekick commented that I do pickle pounders quite often and he couldn’t wait for my wife to get back in town. To which I replied “I have to stick with what I’m good at.” I let everyone else read between the lines.
YHC has been humbled to be able to lead the men of F3 at Beast Ridge. It was the first place I ever posted and I’ll always remember that sloppy workout that Vila led us through. Sidekick humbled YHC by expressing his gratitude for my Qs at Beast Ridge. While I am headed to live on the Gentlemen’s Ridge, I will still visit the Beast periodically.
