“Our brains are like closets. Over time, they are filled with things we no longer use – things that don’t fit. Every once in a while they need to be cleaned out. A big part of the change process is to be able to walk away from outdated beliefs and practices. But as we all know, old habits can die hard. Regardless of our good intentions, we’re all susceptible to flawed thinking that eventually leads to flawed results. But if we dump this data from our memory banks, we free up space for more productive alternatives… we make room for the good stuff… the right stuff.” – Mac Anderson, Tom Feltenstein
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.’
