My husband and his sons rented a
salt water fishing boat for the day off the Texas coast. The captain took their money but griped about
the cold, rainy weather the whole time they were out fishing. He wanted to cut the fishing trip short and
said so. My men ignored him and enjoyed their day, returning with stories about
the grumpy captain, the fish they almost caught, and how their dad kept tossing
his cookies over the side of the boat for the majority of the time.
Why
do people work at jobs where they do not like what they do and do not like
their clients?
I
have known teachers who hate children, doctors who turn their noses at their
sick patients, and sales clerks who get upset when a customer asks for help.
My
advice to all these unhappy people: quit
your job and go find one that fits your personality. And good luck.
Captain
Ahab took the money when my men went fishing.
At the price they paid for his service, it should have come with a
smile. All those teachers who emulate Professor
Umbridge as their patron saint should return their teacher retirement checks,
and any medical professional with a Dr. Jekyll bedside manner should worry
about the day the tables turn and they need the service their clients provide.
Moral
of the story/blog: Do unto others as you
would have them do unto you.
