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) Written by Patricia Lewis
