A manager at a big corporation suffered a heart attack, and his doctor gave him strict orders: take a break, slow down, and spend a few weeks somewhere peaceful to recover. So the manager headed to a quiet farm, far away from deadlines, meetings, and office stress, hoping fresh air would do him good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After just a couple of days, the manager was already bored. Used to constant activity, he asked the farmer if there was any work he could help with. The farmer, amused, handed him a huge pile of cow manure to clean up, thinking a city executive would give up within an hour. To his surprise, the manager finished the entire job in less than a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next morning, the farmer decided to raise the stakes. He gave the manager a much tougher task: behead 500 chickens. Confident this would finally be too much, the farmer went about his day. But by evening, the manager had completed the job without complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the third day, with nearly all the chores done, the farmer handed the manager a bag of potatoes. \u201cSort these into two boxes,\u201d he said. \u201cSmall potatoes in one box, large potatoes in the other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The farmer checked back at the end of the day and was stunned. The manager was sitting on a stool, staring at the bag of potatoes. Both boxes were still completely empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Confused, the farmer asked, \u201cYou handled manure and chickens just fine. Why haven\u2019t you sorted a single potato?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The manager sighed deeply and said, \u201cLook, physical labor I can handle. But making decisions? That\u2019s what gave me the heart attack in the first place.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
