point of view
this story reminded me of my PR career and how the same story can have a different tone and meaning depending on who tells it.
this morning, a colleague was telling me how another colleague went skiing and kept falling, in particular, he could not stop at the time he saw that he was going to bump into a small girl, and therefore, fell to the side in order to avoid the crash.
later that day, the above-mentioned colleague from the skiing story retold the story from his point of view, where he was the hero - he saw a young girl standing in front of him, and in order to let her pass freely and safe her from the crash, he jumped to the side on purpose, and he called himself a hero for avoiding the accident. :)
eye of the beholder, right? :) the glass is half-full, or half-empty…?
