THE FINAL DAYS OF SHOULD


Banks "should" be open when WE need them to be open.

 Books "should" be 200 pages long - no more, no less.

All senior executives "should" be highly educated.

Blogs "should" attract comments.

Business people "should" be men.

Big deals "should" be done by lawyers.

Good employees "should" work at the same company for most of their life.


These are statements that remake our current situation and we cannot really live without a re-made world...

How many of them are valid today - were they EVER valid?

My point is - find your own "should" - AND GET RID OF IT!

Until next time (and living realistically),

    A very appropriate piece, P.S. I am working on me - and excellent for class discussion and debate!

    An extremely interesting piece, looking for a deeper insight as usual. Getting rid of our own "should" is quite a challenge, yet it is probably worth a try.
    Thank you

    Lucana - I think trying to live in a "make-believe" world stops us from being as effective as we could be, so yes, it's worth a try.
