"In my perfect world, in 'The World According to Tom' we would begin with a level of trust and prove or disprove it based on their actions or intent as we go through our dealings." This began one of my soapboxes at a recent meeting about organizational culture. I have been on this soapbox before and believe me I have many more in my garage.
I've come to realize that the World that I've constructed, the way that I feel things should be, does not necessarily coincide with everyone else's. This is quite alright with me, we all have our ways of approaching life, love, business, etc. However the World According to Tom is worth sharing, even if it is only for those who wish to prove my insanity.
My 16 year old daughter for one rarely agrees with my perfect world, but as any father of teenage girls will realize I will never win that argument. My wife as well nods her head on many occasions. My soapbox on the position of Toilet Seats and how the toilet paper should hang are two instances of my World not coming to reality. However, my detractors aside, there might be a few soapboxes worthy of elevation.
