Wouldn't it be a great idea if we could all do just that,
not doing or saying anything if we're not calm, collected and composed.
When Dr Jacob Bronowski was being interviewed on television
or taking part in a discussion programme many years ago now,
he would pause for quite a long time before answering a question or saying anything.
It was quite embarrassing because you wondered if he'd heard
but when he answered, his thoughts were always measured, cogent and spot on.
Would that I could remember and follow that practice but sadly, I can't!!
