I recall being asked by a colleague to join a professional advisory committee. I declined, stating that I was incredibly busy. I added that since I took such roles seriously, I did not feel I could do the committee justice. The requester looked at me and without skipping a beat said, “That’s exactly why I am asking you”. “If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. It takes an incredibly industrious & capable individual to juggle countless responsibilities while remaining productive.” Dad
