Cake

The point of growing in the workplace isn’t to get to the point where you can have your cake and eat it too.

The point is to get to the balance of the one making the cake and the one eating the cake. Not at the same time, but a back and forth.

After all, if you eat all the cake all the time, you’re not much of a team are you?

This goes for grunt work too. Sometimes you’re the one setting up the fireworks for others to watch and sometimes you’re the one watching.

Not sure about you, but I like the back-and-forth of it all. It keeps one humble.

Stay Positive & And More Grateful For The Times You Get To Eat The Cake
