“Are you a thermometer or a thermostat? A thermometer only reflects the temperature in its
environment, adjusting to the situation. But, a thermostat initiates action to change the temperature in its environment.” – Nido Qubein
Vacation Time
Jill had applied for a job and when she returned home, her mother asked how the interview went.
“Pretty good I think”, replied Jill, “but if I go to work there I won’t get a vacation unless I’m married.
Her mother of course, had never heard of such a thing and asked “Is that what they told you?
“No”, replied Jill, “they didn’t tell me that, but on the application it said, ‘Vacation time may not be taken until you’ve had your First Anniversary.’
