Covering Your Bases

So it’s Monday, and it wouldn’t be a true Monday if there wasn’t at least one roadblock or some sort of unexpected slowdown that will warrant some unscheduled attention.

We can’t always cover our bases, especially when we don’t even know that some of them existed until it’s too late. Take a deep breath, do a little yoga, and remember there’s a team behind you to help out.

I’d like to pull a quote from Edmond Dantes, making a toast in the Alexander Dumas classic The Count of Monte Cristo:

“Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome. Do your worst, for I will do mine! Then the fates will know you as we know you: as Albert Mondego, the man!”

(and, of course, by "worst" we mean "best"...Some creative license had to be taken in order to prove my point! )
