There's nothing like a sack race to make you look really foolish at the annual company picnic and be humbled in front of your peers, all in good fun, of course. For some reason kids can do it, but not adults. It doesn't matter if you try to stay on the ground and shuffle your feet to move ahead, or hop like a kangaroo, eventually you fall into a heap wishing you could just hide in the sack and hope no one noticed.
Getting sacked has become a reality for many Americans in the past couple of years. It's a term we use when we want to avoid negatives like "terminated," "fired," or "just let go." I loved one of the headlines today, defense secretary, "Gates says he agrees with Obama decision on McChrystal." Well duh! After the President just fired McChrystal, who would dare disagree with him?
It doesn't matter if you're a four-star general, or a no-star quarterback, we all get sacked at least once in our lives. When it happens, don't hide in a heap. Get up and get going, again!
