Talking about Parachutes
Did I tell you that I hate manuals? Manuals are for Gold People (The managers). The book “What colour is your Parachute” is “a practical manual for job-hunters and career-changers”.
Over 7 million copies in print. The best-selling job-hunting book in the world! In twelve languages worldwide. Bought by 20,000 people a month.
Please note how many numbers are in the text. I will bet you anything that this book appeals mostly to Gold People who need a manual for everything, even for using a washroom.
I have bought this book and read it a couple of times. I was trying to find out how can I find a job where I won’t be miserable. This book was my start. But it did not do much good. When I came to the point when I had realized that I did not even remember anymore what I liked, I was weeping.
What did I know about Parachutes?
For sale: Parachute. Only used once, never opened, small stain.
If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.
It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
