Serendipity

Posted by Jorge Bernal March 23, 2007

A weird thing just happened to me while waiting for the bus. I was listening to the audiobook from Larry King How to talk to anyone, anytime, anywhere when some man approached me asking for a lighter. I was wearing a long black coat which might be the reason why this man was convinced I was some kind of sarge of the army, or even a higher officer. Maybe he was just crazy.

He starts telling me something I couldn’t hear very well and then spends five minutes telling me in detail some ranks of the Spanish Army, and how each soldier has to approach their superiors when talking. After listening carefully to this bizarre speech, he just leaves and I plug my headphones and hit Play again.

Just a few seconds of audiobook later, Larry is explaining how to approach your boss and colleagues properly, using army ranks as an example, and telling the exact same thing than this anonymous man just have told me. The only different is that the first man sounded like a crazy one while Larry King sounds like an expert.

That was my dose of confusion for today
