I was laid off the day before I left for a week's vacation in Arizona.

I came home and told Mrs. WI the news and she said "Well then we're going for two weeks." lol

I dropped four resumes in the mail on the way to the airport the next morning and came home to 5 messages on the machine from one of the companies. I called him up two minutes after I walked in the door and the next morning went for an interview. He hired me that day and I worked there for seven years before moving on.

That was the company that introduced me to managing real estate, which is what I'm still doing now...15 years later.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
