That is awesome Dave!

Today, my husband quit his job. He worked, managing a 1600 acre ranch for a millionaire from Ohio.

The rich guy didn't want to pay my husband what he was worth, and we were negotiating a new contract. Last night, the boss called and screamed at me because he could get a hold of my husband on his cell phone. So, Jeff quit. "...No one screams at my wife," he said... "not even me!"

This is what his letter of resignation said:

Power

"He who controls others may be powerful, but he who masters himself is mightier still." Lao Tzu

Let me know where you want me to park the truck.


So, thank you for your words of wisdom this morning. They made me smile.

Have an awesome day!

Hi Dave,

      You are definitely on a roll. LOL If you ever consider changing professions, I think you could give stand up comedy a run for it's money.

      I for one am enjoying your forums very much.  Everubody should laugh more.

     Thank you, Dave.

Hi Trina,

Wow - I like your husband's style!  He sounds like a great guy, and also very wise.  It sounds like he handled the situation very well - with real power and grace.

God bless,

Dave

Hi Dave!

Jeff is much happier now that he has quit.

Here are my words of wisdom... The only way to ever get paid what you are worth is to accept nothing less.

Have an awesome day!

Hello, Dave!

Those are well worth pondering.  My mum is very skilled at diplomacy and would have made an excellent diplomat.

When it comes to lending money (especially to family and friends) I am a pessimist.  In everything else, I am optimistic.

And, that last one is a clincher!  I don't have the answer, but I do come up against the situation all the time in my work.  Only one fool at home and that's me...you know, the one who lets the cats and rabbits live in my house with free room and board and absolutely no work out of them.

Thanks, I needed the laugh.

Kate
