Lessons in Leadership VI – The Secret of Phoenix
Sometimes we find ourselves losing what we want to hold or we know that we are about to lose something that we considered not important but once we feel that we are about to lose it we convince ourselves that we want it.

We feel pain because we are about to lose something although before knowing that we may lose it we did not want it.
