150 Rights

My wife called to ask when I was coming home because she had a particularly good meal planned and didn’t want to overcook it.

I promised to be there at a certain time.

I was 1 hour late.

The meal was ruined. (For both of us!)

She had every right to exercise her mad-ness at me.

I asked my son to tell me when a certain person called. It was important to me.

The person did call but my son did not let me know. I only found out when that person called again.

You have the right but you don’t have to exercise it.

Family and friends usually don’t exercise their rights.

Hmmm, maybe that’s why they’re Family and Friends.

I also built a fairly large company that practiced this.

When people think they get away with something at a company’s expense, they think they have a right to and the company does not.

Yet you fool no one but yourself.

How are you doing?

Dutifully exercise your rights do you?

Is it working?

Maybe you should try NOT exercising your rights and see what happens.
