The four colleagues
Are you looking for a new job, a new relationship or a new opportunity? And are you just sitting back and wait until the opportunity presents itself?
Think again. Opportunities aren’t just sitting around the corner, waiting for us; they have to be actively searched for. Waiting and twiddling our thumbs until something good happens doesn’t work. We have to realize that many people are digging for opportunities – so we need to dig harder and deeper than everybody else!
They always say that time changes things,
but you actually have to change them yourself.
- Andy Warhol
Here is a cute story that I found many years ago and I still love it. It is about four colleagues: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done, and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry, because it was Everybody’s job but Everybody thought that Somebody would do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody would not do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could easily have done.
Can you imagine how many chances these four colleagues missed?
Agree? Disagree? Voice your opinion here and see what others said.
