AE: ANECDOTES WITH INTENTION

SOME GOOD ADVICE
This was written by the CEO of Coca-Cola Brian G. Dyson.

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air.

You name them - Work - Family - Health - Friends - Spirit, and you're keeping all of these in the air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.
But the other four balls -- family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered.

I was an enigma to them, easier to distrust than to understand.

They shunned me as a company spy, then as a crazy kid who didn't know how to be a man.

Later, I became better at my duties and tried to build friendships.

They offered to make me "a real man" by joining them on their all-night indulgences.
