Martial Art of Life:
A customer came through my store in the morning, on Sunday.
He felt different than every other one I’ve ever had.
We had a discussion while I was ringing him up; he was far more interested in me than his items, it seemed.
Because of the level of worthy that was in the nature of the discussion, I actually won’t share most of it here.
However, he gave me a concept that I had never heard before he spoke it:
The Martial Art of Life.
The context he spoke it in was; I was explaining to him my way of getting down at work.
That I take something from every job that I have ever worked and I apply it to my current work.
I’ve worked hella security; so, I observe what is going on in and around my store, constantly.
I’ve worked many a warehouse job; so, I stock my store with a dilligence that most retail workers couldn’t be bothered to imagine.
And so on.
And then, I told him I’m not only that way in my job, whatever it may be at the time, but life in general.
That’s when he nodded, and replied, “The Martial Arts of Life.”
The Martial Arts of Life.
T’will be a theme from here on out, I suspect.
