Greetings friends!
A couple days ago I went to a retirement party of a
colleague. He talked about how he had
started his long career. It began when
he walked in and asked for a job, and the man behind the counter said “I’ll take a chance on you” and started him in a
temporary hourly position. From there on
out, as he advanced, again each person of authority said the same, “I’ll take a
chance on you”. And when my friend had
advanced to a position where he could be a source of help and guidance to
others, he stayed and excelled in his role.
And his parting words to us, his well-wishers, were to reach out and keep
trying until you find your niche, and remember to take a chance on others and
help your fellow man anytime you can.
