What can you do?

The fable below can provide some significance.

“On a beautiful late spring afternoon, twenty-five years ago, two you men graduated from the same college. They were very much alike, these two young men.

Both had been better than average students, both were personable and both – as young college graduates are – were filled with ambitious dreams for the future.

Recently, these men returned to their college for their 25^th reunion. They were very much alike. Both were happily married. Both had three children.

And both, it turned out, had gone to work for the same Midwestern manufacturing company, and were still there. But there was a difference.

One of the men was manager of a small department of that company. The other was its president.
