Daryl’s 14 year Dream

I and the Kintish team went for lunch to the new sports and community centre recently. What a great resource for the local community. Football pitches, café , community lounge, sports hall …the works, all modern and already in great demand.

By coincidence I met Daryl who was the creator of the complex. He was typically modest ( giving credit to everyone else) but I know he was THE MAN who made it all happen. He had a dream and in spite of the barriers and obstacles one has to deal with when going for these big projects, Daryl never gave up. He told us it was 14 years since he started the project…yes 14 years

DO YOU HAVE A DREAM?

ARE YOU PERSISTENT?

WHAT DO YOU WANT? WHAT DO YOU REALLY REALLY WANT?

When you are committed you can have it.

Commitment is doing what you say you’re going to do long after the mood has worn off. Daryl’s commitment never wore off.
