Let me retell it to you in the vernacular. A company owner, CEO, decided to hire a manager as your

chief operating officer to run the day-to-day operation of the company. And so the CEO noticed that

the CEO basically was goofing off, as we would say. He was goofing off. He was not turning up on time.

He laid from meetings. He didn't keep the books in good order. He was playing golf all the time,

if they played golf back then. He was patting the expense account, and he was kind of falsifying

his monthly reports. And finally,

the CEO's patience ran out with this guy. He ran out with this shenanigan. And so he decides

to confront this guy, the manager, and the confrontation did not go very well. And so the owner said to the manager, buddy, I'm going to have to terminate your employment.

You have two weeks to turn over the books and turn over the accounts, turn over everything.

And so the manager thinks for a minute and he says, well, being a shrewd guy, quick on his feet. And so the manager thinks for a minute, and he says, well, being a shrewd guy,

quick on his feet. And he says, well, if I look at my 401k, this retirement account,

it's not going to last me for even a year, let alone the rest of my life. There is no way.

That's going to be enough. I mean,

he was living in luxury, going to get manicures and hair stylists and leased Mercedes and health

club dues, you know, he's just kind of living it up. He's not ready for manual labor.

In fact, I think some of the younger generation think the word manual labor is the name

of the Mexican prime minister.

So what does he do?

He basically visualized himself as going through life of homelessness. He was going through life of homelessness.

He was going through life of poverty.

And he didn't like it at all.

Neither would I.
