You Could Have Been A Surgeon

One of my buddies is a surgeon.
I’ve heard people say,
within his hearing,
that he became a surgeon
because he doesn’t have the bedside manner
to become a GP.

I write romance novels.
I receive a comment,
at least one a day,
that if I had more talent,
I’d be writing literary novels.

The management team at Coca-Cola
is often asked why they haven’t expanded
into restaurants and snacks.

EVERYONE receives these comments.
If you’re successful in one field,
someone will challenge you
to become successful in another field.

Someone challenging you,
someone who doesn’t care about you
or your company or your brand,
is a dumb a$$ reason to do anything.

Ignore these comments
and stick to your game plan.
