Some years ago when I was employed by a large organization, I worked for a while with a very nice, polite, quiet man called Basil. He was quite a bit older than me. He never spoke ill of anybody nor did he join in the office gossip. he just got on with his job, the same job he had had for years. He was always punctual. Then one day all this changed. He resigned from the job he had done for years.
The boss gave him a leaving party, which Basil's wife was invited to attend. After the usual polite words of thanks for his service to the organization, Basil was invited to say as few words. We all expected a few polite words of thanks, but Basil stunned us all.
For years it has been the burning desire of him and his wife to become crofters in Scotland. They had mentioned this to no one, not even their family. They had been searching for a suitable farm for a long time, but nothing suitable had become available. Then, one day he got a letter informing him that a suitable property was to become available soon thereafter and asking him if he was interested in buying it. Basil seized the opportunity.
He and his wife had quietly saved enough money to buy a croft in a part of Scotland to which they were particularly attracted. They had acquired all the farming knowledge and skills they would need; and they had sufficient capital left over to support a modest lifestyle until they had established their farm.
Basil made a plan and he worked his plan to turn his desire into reality. He never gave up on his desire, and he received the object of his desire when it was presented.
Former colleagues who visited Basil on his croft reported meeting a "Basil" they had not known before. Notwithstanding the hardships of crofting, they found a very happy, contented man doing what he had a burning desire to do.
