Quote: Goethe

5 April 2007 Keith

Whatever you can do
Or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power
And magic in it.

[Goethe]

About KCM

I'm a controversialist, catalyst and facilitator, quietly enabling others to develop by providing different ideas and views of the world. Born in London in the early 1950s and initially trained as a research chemist I retired as a senior project manager after 35 years in the IT industry. Retirement is about community give-back and finding some equilibrium. Secretary Emeritus of the Anthony Powell Society; Chairman of my GP's patient group.
