So You Just Assume
So you have an MBA but you
felt empty at times
You have gone to school for a
couple of years
You are knowledgeable in that
particular field that you are so
captivated with
Now you sit down to lunch with
an old friend from high school
that only has her Associates
degree
You start speaking about your
thesis and the people you have
worked with
You state you have traveled to
China, Austria and England
For the whole time you're
taking not giving your friend
time to talk because you
assume
she only has an associates and
haven't done much with her life
BUT
finally you take a breath and
decide to give her a moment to
talk
and then your friend says
Well
I am currently married to a
lovely man for over 9 years
I have two lovely children
I have two businesses that my
husband and I run
We are about to set up a third
business in Hong Kong as well
I have given my life to Christ
and I am so at peace
Your mouth drop and you
realize Wow you should have
never judged your friends
potential growth over the years
just because you never stayed
in contact
You realize just because you
have your MBA and you have
traveled doesn't make you any
better than her
(NEVER LOOK DOWN ON
PERSON)
