"Do you listen to life at work?"


A young executive had a long flight home one Sunday. He thought about where he wanted to go in life and about dealing with some frustrations at work.

Well, he came down with a sinus infection on Tuesday but had to go in to work for more training. The training lasted through Thursday and his sinus infection kept getting worse as the week wore on. So he told his boss after Thursday’s training that he had to work from home on Friday.

Well, the boss called the young executive later that night at home and told him he absolutely had to be at a meeting at 9AM the next day. You know how the young executive felt about his job then…

…until he walked in the next morning and was awarded the Employee of the Year, the company’s first-ever such award.
The young executive told me, “It’s just funny how things in life happen, when you think you aren’t sure that you’re doing a good job or anyone’s noticing, then BAM! You get rewarded.”

Do you listen to life at work? Give it a try and make a life, not just a living.
