Sick?

Written on December 29th, 2009
[mood_description] | [music_description]

I love the way my folks (see father/brother/ex sister-in-law)  talk about being “Sick”.  Oh, I can’t do this or that because *I’m sick* kind of speech. Absolute BeeeEsss.

Mind you I have been sick. Sick and tired doesn’t care if you are sick or tired.

I know exactly what it is like. I get sick and tired and you know what? The world doesn’t care.

Pretty cruel but consistent I think.

Do you think when one of my tenants calls me because his heater won’t work cares if I’m sick? Hell no.  Do you think my clients care if I’m sick and we have to do some business? Hell no.  Do you think my soccer team will halt the game because their coach is sick? Hell no.

The truth? Ahhh the truth….You are as good as your last at bat.  Nobody cares about your efforts boy.

The world measures you based on the results of your efforts. Nothing more and nothing less.

We all know this instinctively. Think not? Think again. Did you eat today? You are on the right path….Fail to take care of yourself and you will turn to dust.

Kelly: Daddy, does the world fight fair?
Me: Are you kidding? Absolutely not….

How about some words of wisdom little one? When you fight you must win by whatever means necessary. Protect yourself at all times. Learn by observing the mistakes of others.

Don’t make excuses. Accept responsibility. You either did something or you did not. There is no middle ground.

Adopt this attitude and when you look at yourself in the mirror you will never have to make excuses.

Oh and another thing…Don’t ever let the world know you are sick. Its a disaster.

Peace be with you,

Bobby

I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that you are sick.
That sucks. The rest of the world may not care, but I do. :)

Not sick but I have heard that excuse (And it turns out to be a lie) more than you ever care to know. I generally don’t do sick. I may get sick but the whole surrounding issue doesn’t suit me at all so I just don’t do it…

Most of the time I have found other’s don’t care, but I will say. A lot of people have been very good, kind and helpful with Jim. The difference is that he is truly sick and does things anyway or as much as he can. People just do things not because we ask, but because they want too, and that is a good thing. They are the ones you want in your world.

Ros - Jim is legitimate in terms of his sickness. No doubt. I can also 100% guarantee he wishes he wasn’t ill. Horrible. My conversation speaks to the *fake* sick people.

I couldn’t go to work for the seven weeks I was in the hospital after having my heart attack and subsequent six bypasses. I had to tell my employees I was sick and couldn’t come in. And I was. In fact I thought I had died, it took seven days before I wish I had.

It sounds like you had a temporary setback.

The world couldn’t wait for your return either….

I get your point. And again, you are on the money. Your discussions tend to make me more conscious of whether I am living my beliefs. That is good. Rock on

I know someone that uses the sick excuse too. For 4 years? But only when asked why they still dont have a job. Suddenly feeling better for nights on the town tho!
