Here is a beautiful story of the character John, which many of us play
in life. Read the entire story - forget the grammar and the sentence
formation - be interested in the content and the meaning and more
important the learning from it.
POOR JOHN
By: Dr. Donald E. Wetmore
John did not get his raise but it's not his fault because he did not get
his promotion because he did not get all his work done on time because
they gave him too much to do and because he was late yesterday because
he had to stop for gas because he didn't stop for gas the night before
because he was late coming home because he was working late because he
came in late that morning because he had to iron a shirt because he had
nothing clean to wear because he forgot to pick up his shirts from the
cleaners on his way home the day before because he was rushing to get to
his softball game and he had to stop and get air in his leaky tire
because he forgot to get it fixed last weekend because he had to answer
the phone all day and watch the game on Sunday because the guys would
all be talking about it on Monday and he did not want to feel left out
because that happened before when he missed a game and the guys laughed
at him because he didn't know about it and that whole day he
could not get anything done at work because he felt so badly and he
spent the entire day speaking with his co-workers asking them if he was
really being treated fairly because he always tries to please other
people first because their opinions of what he should be doing are more
important than his own because even though he has the tools and
techniques to better control and manage his time and life they are
uncomfortable to use because it is so much easier to drift and spend the
day responding rather than take the initiative because, after all, "What
would THEY say?" if he tried to achieve new goals that he never reached
before because a lot of what John really wants is not what he is
entitled to and can qualify for because others have what it takes to
succeed rather than John because they got the lucky breaks in their
lives and hit it just at the right time while for John, without having
bad luck he would have no luck at all because that's what's true for his
family and always has been and always will be because we cannot change
who we are or where we came from or the luck and bad fortune we have
because we have to learn to accept what life gives to us and ask for no
more because that would be impolite and selfish because John already
tried that route once when he went to his boss and asked for a raise and
the boss said that, "You have to do more now than what you are already
being paid for to qualify for a raise. To ask for what you do not
deserve and for what you have not earned is to be selfish and impolite,"
but John did not like what he heard and looked for another reason why he
did get his raise and he found it.
John did not get his raise but it's not his fault because…
Friends, Lets check ourself too are we also behaving like John...?
