Today, the shopkeeper downstairs of my office asked me, "Hey, how are you?"
I looked at her and said, "I'm OK."
She asked again, "Are you well nowadays? Any problems?"
I replied, "It isn't whether I'm well or not well that's most important. It's whether I can do what I have to do, that's more important."
She thought about it. "Yes, you're right."
"In the end," I said, "it's whether we can do our job that really matters to our clients. And in the end, it's whether they want to pay us that really matters to us. If we work, and they pay, then we will all be fine."
She smiled, and nodded her head slightly.
