I HAVE A JOB
Key Statement: Like health, a job is never fully appreciated until you lose it. Lose your health and you run the risk of losing everything. Lose your job and you run the risk of losing meaning and purpose.
Atlanta Restaurant 1977, Crowell coaching staff was served by an immigrant from Cambodia.
Coach asked the lady server, “Do you like America?”
With complete astonishment, the woman declared, “I HAVE A JOB!”
The body language was, “Are you kidding me; what a stupid question.”
Dan Mortimore who owns Mortimore Productions, one of Spokane’s best places to shoot and produce advertising, delights in teasing me.
Dan sent me a list of all his jobs growing up to let me know he worked harder than me growing up.
As you read his grow up jobs think of all your grow up jobs. These jobs make us into the person we are today.
