One day a man having conversation with god when his whole life flashed before
his eyes as a series of footsteps on the sands of time. He saw that there were
two pairs of footprints, but during the most difficult periods of his life there
were only one set of footprints. He asked god "You said you will be with me
throughout this journey, but why have you deserted me during the most critical
times of my life??" To which god answered "Son, I did not desert you, I was
always with you...you see only one set of footprints because during those
difficult times in your life, I was carrying you"



Another day I was having a similar conversation with my Project Manager (PM)
when my whole project flashed before my eyes as a series of footsteps on the
sands of time. I saw that there were two pairs of footprints, but during the
most difficult times in the project there were only one set of footprints. I
asked my PM, "You said you will be with me throughout the project, but why have
you deserted me during the most critical times of the project??" to which my PM
answered, "Son, I did not desert you, I was always with you... you see only one
set of footprints because during those difficult times I was "sitting on your
head!!!"

thank goodness for no projects or project managers
