After just coming off a wonderful event with Perry Corporation and talking about those who can do their very best work while having some fun with what they do – I thought instead of forwarding yet another “read this and foward type emails” – I’ll just post it here.

It’s a fun & quick read, however I know real idea as to its validity. If it’s not true, it was still funny and proves my overall point.

So here it is – enjoy
Sincerely

Jon Petz – Motivational Speaker
