This is an interesting way to look back on the various people we have encountered. In the 70+ years of my work and personal life, I have experienced one or more interactions with most of the traits described herein. It is the diversity and challenges that make our journey so memorable!
WISHBONES – These are people who look at how bad things are and wish something could be done.
JAWBONES – These are people who do nothing but talk about how things are not being done.
KNUCKLEBONES – These are people who sit and knock whatever is being done.
BACKBONES – These are people who always get things done.
The following is from a seminar I attended years ago.
