To be like a goose

My best friend once told me that I need to learn to just let things slide, literally, like water being poured on a goose. The water just slides down the coat of feathers, and the goose is not in the least bit affected nor fazed.

Sometimes, I get to work with people who are really “intense.” Maybe that’s the way to be successful, to be clear what you want, and be sure you get it. Times like these, I appreciate the advice about the goose. It’s also humility perhaps, to let the other person have his/her way, especially since most things are infinitesimally insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

Thanks, my dear goosey friend! 😉
