If you’re an eagle, you must fight to prevent anyone from plucking out your feathers. This is because you need them to fly. You can have wings, but you can fly if you don’t have feathers. I decided to do my own thing and not work for just anybody. I see an employer-employee relationship as a service-for-pay situation. Once they give you that job, they tell you what to say and do.
Even if you don’t want to work, your heart compells you…”
Once they’ve rendered that service, money changes hands, and that’s that. When I punch out, I’m on ME time… The moment I go for a job, and they start acting as if I need the job more than they need me, that’s it. I leave and never go back. I only go where people need me.
In fact, they must need me desperately for me to take that situation seriously.
There are many ways to earn money with respect. As soon as an employer comes out of their mouth and says, “I don’t need you,” that’s when I start back off. Say, “I don’t know how I will do this without you,” and I go above and beyond the call of duty. Get it? Because they need me,g
The story’s moral is: Never let anyone take away your dignity, guilt you into giving up your honor or talk you out of whatever gives you your edge with them. If you’re a cobra, you do not allow anyone to disarm you of your venom. You can hiss as much as you want, but you’re powerless if you have no poison. You’re a circus clown.
Never let anyone take away your dignity, guilt you into giving up your honor or talk you out of whatever it is that gives you your edge with them.
They can drop theirs, but you keep yours. Even if you don’t want to work, you will be compelled to when you know you’re needed. If not, why bother? You got paid a lot of money, but you can’t do what you needed the money for, the reason why you worked for it, then it’s the same as being broke.
If you are a lion, you’re the “king of the jungle,” YOU cannot lay around when your paws are clipped off. Or your teeth filed in. A lion does not only protect his lioness and his cubs. He also defends his teeth and paws because those can easily overpower him.*
