"Can you hear me now?"

A friend recently told the story of how his office called him while he was away. His mobile phone reception wasn’t all that great. He thought he heard his office say, “A man fell on the job.”

So he got in his truck and headed toward the job site, worrying as he drove. “Who was it that fell?” he thought. “How badly is he hurt?” His imagination ran wild just thinking about all of the possibilities.

Well, he discovered later that everyone was fine. Remember how his mobile reception was poor? Well, instead of “A man fell on the job” his office actually said, “A job fell through.” The static created confusion with the message.

Such confusion happens with and without mobile phones. Someone in your office discusses a task with you and later you discover that confusion crept in and something didn’t get done. Or, the same thing happens at home with your spouse or children.

Clear up the static today by listening to life very carefully as you make a life and not just a living.
