“Getting Scrappy” by Terri Dumont
Did you see The Apprentice on Sunday? What struck me is how Donald Trump uttered the famous “You’re fired!” to the more personable, but somewhat lazy, Martin, while allowing the annoying-but-driven Frank to remain.
It served to reinforce that getting scrappy has its rewards. Martin was a complainer. “I’m tired” and “I have to pee”. Geez, even my teenage daughters know that if they want to achieve something they have to hike ‘em up and work for it. …and they’re not even trying to prove their worth on national television!
