A friend of mine recently went through an experience that turned out to be quite instructive......on a number of levels.......he had wanted to get a new job....one that paid more and afforded him greater prestige.......he applied for the position even though he knew it would mean moving to a new area if he was successful.

He wanted the job very much but was uncertain about the move necessary to make things happen......and he asked for a week to think it over......and they politely agreed he could take a week to decide. A week of changing feelings went by....and a week later when they called him back.....he asked for a further 3 days in order to decide.

When they called him 3 days later he asked if he could have another day to decide.....and they politely agreed he could have another day to decide. When they called him the next morning and asked for his answer, he asked if he could tell them later in the day and they rudely told him they gave the job to somebody else apparently more enthusiastic about the opportunity.

He was quite upset as he really wanted the job, but had got himself into a state thinking there were too many things to do at once.....instead of realising that he could move and work and live one day at a time...
