Here’s a slightly changed excerpt from a book that I think many working folks could relate to:
Of course, everyone spoke ill of his profession, but, basically, it was all a question of selling his time, like everyone else. Doing things he didn’t want to do, like everyone else. Putting up with horrible people, like everyone else. Handing over his precious body and his precious soul in the name of a future that never arrived, like everyone else. Saying that he still didn’t have enough, like everyone else. Waiting just a bit longer, like everyone else. Waiting so that he cold earn just a little bit more, postponing the realization of his dreams; he was too busy right now, he had great opportunities ahead of him, loyal clients who were waiting for him. . ."
Before you check out the link, ask yourself this question, "What is the profession of the subject of this story?" Make a note of it, and then go to Anita Sharpe’s post at Worthwhile.
