One Day You're a Peacock

“There are two circumstances that lead to arrogance: one is when you’re wrong and you can’t face it; the other is when you’re right and nobody else can face it.”
~Criss Jami

    I’ve never seen a white peacock before! How pretty. I have been in situations where I was right and nobody else could deal with it but it did not make me arrogant. However it did cost me my job and that kind of sucked because apparently managers don’t like to admit when they are wrong. Ah well. On to the next.

    Sometimes you’re the pigeon and sometimes you’re the statue!

    Sometimes I’m Sponge Bob and sometimes I’m the toilet brush. I’m sorry-I couldn’t think of anything else. 🙂

    As the saying goes I’m wrong when I say I’m wrong and when I’m right I’m still wrong
