Fawlty Showers

Progress

I stopped by Randy’s office on my way out that day.  He barely looked up when I said hello. “How’s it going?” I asked.

“I didn’t get much done,” he said, pointing to a stack of papers.  “Felt like I was wading through mud all day.”

I said, “There’s a guy at the gym who wears Army boots and a heavy backpack on the treadmill. He doesn’t go very fast, but he stays on the machine a couple of hours at a time. I go much farther on my bike, but he’s probably in better shape.”

“What’s your point?”

“You’ve got a lot on your mind. Consider the burden you carry before you judge the progress you’ve made.”

 

Today I will consider the burden I carry when I judge the distance I’ve traveled.
