I actually came up with this law when I was about 20 years old, and it has stood the test of time. Try as I might to escape its truth, I have been unsuccessful (the normal ebbs and flows of life notwithstanding):
"Anyone who says they don't have 2 minutes to pick up the phone and call you or an hour to sit down and have lunch with you is either lying, doesn't care, or both."
I think it was inspired by something my favorite coach from when I played at MTSU once said: "If something is important, if it truly means something to you in here (patting his fist against his heart), then you will make the time and make it happen." I stand by those two sayings to this day, without reservation or qualification.
