Are You Prepared?

For a change, I’d like to share what I’ve read from Bo Sanchez in his Soulfood Newsletter:

One day, a guy calls up his Boss at home, but gets the boss’ wife instead. She said, “I’m sorry, but he died last week.” The next day, the man calls up again and asks for his boss. She said, “I told you, he died last week.” The third day, the guy calls up again and asks for his boss. The wife was mad and shouted, “Don’t you understand? I already told you twice—MY HUSBAND, YOUR BOSS, DIED LAST WEEK! Why do you keep on calling?” The guy laughed and said, “Because I just love hearing it…” (end of quote)

The above story could be funny and yet the attitude of the guy mirrors most of the disgruntled employees waiting for some luck to come their way so they could be happier with their careers. Instead of doing something about their situation such as changing jobs or trying a different career, some employees felt trapped and think they really have no choice.
