Everybody, Somebody,
Anybody
and Nobody
This is a little
story about four people named Everybody,
Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and
Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was
Everybody's job.
Everybody thought
that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized
that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when
Nobody did what Anybody could have done. |
|
Don't be one of these characters - be the 'body'
that makes a difference!
Thanks to Dr Hew Len for sharing this with me. |

I’ve got something to say…at work |
| |
 |
Communication is key to any relationship, but why do we find it hard to be honest, straight forward or state what we need when it comes to those we work with? Perhaps it’s fear of repercussions such as loosing our job or the perceived need to play corporate politics. |
|
Here’s the chance to get it off your chest by participating in “I’ve got something to say…”. Your advice could appear in an upcoming book that aims to make us better colleagues and improve working relationships.
After all, how can a situation or person change if we don’t give them feedback? Click here to participate. Feel free to submit as many pieces of advice as you like. |

Within one year I created job freedom, earned more money, worked less hours and discovered my purpose |
| |
 |
After being “institutionalized” for almost 15 years I decided I’d finally had enough of the corporate crap. From a CEO coaching me to lie about bad financials to our Head of Region (I wouldn’t do it), putting up with colleagues impressed with their own incompetence and being incredibly embarrassed to tell my team member their pay rise was a whopping |
|
$600, before tax, after watching thousands and millions of dollars being thrown away on projects that created no return…the list goes on.
I realised this rubbish happened because I let it. I was too scared to stick up for myself, set boundaries or go after what I really wanted so instead I was taken on a ride I didn’t control.
I decided it was time to do something different and now I wake up when I’m finished sleeping and spend my day doing what I love. From going to movies in the middle of the day ‘because I can’, walking along the beach or playing with my dogs. I now work less and earn more.
How?
I realised that as employees we need to stop giving bad bosses our good time, being victims, whinging, gossiping and thinking the ‘company did it to me’. Let me tell you, unless the building came to life, the company did nothing, the people did – and it’s up to you to do something about it.
It’s time to take care of #1 so once you’re up and running you can be a greater gift to the rest of the world. Use your frustration, anger, disgust and helplessness to fuel positive action. It’s OK to rant, but we can’t get stuck there, we have to stop complaining and conduct a reality check of how we got into our unsavoury work situation in the first place. When we’ve achieved a revelation of the ‘why’, we can start working on the ‘how’, we can plan our escape route and be rewarded with a fulfilling job that we want to get out of bed for.
Action is imperative, because if nothing changes, nothing changes.
It’s win-win all around, you’re not stuck in a job you hate and organisations aren’t filled with employees with Mondayitis five days a week.
My site combines practical advice to move you from loathing to liking and (maybe) even loving your job by changing your attitude, behaviour and / or environment.
But more than that, I want to create a revolution of people who enjoy their work, are high performers, can have a laugh and be more than decent human beings to one another.
As a workforce I think there’s room to lighten up and live.
We can do it, Right Here, Right Now. |
