Sell Ice Cream

No job is made of joy alone,
No matter where you sit.
There will be days of gratitude—
And days that test your grit.

When people work with people,
The road is seldom smooth.
There will be hard decisions,
And truths that don’t soothe.

A leader cannot promise
That everyone will smile.
Sometimes doing what is right
Makes someone mad awhile.

So lead with care and fairness.
Be thoughtful. Firm. Be true.
But if your only purpose
Is making people happy with you—

Forget the meetings.
Skip the stress.
Avoid the corporate scream.

Get yourself a little cart…

And sell ice cream.

For Trisha
