Today, I was flipping through my black book that I keep all my favorite quotes, poems or questions. And, I came across this little parable. I don’t know who the author is or even where I originally got it from. But, I do love the message it conveys.
That’s Not My Job
This story is about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
Thoughts?
