The Bullfight

No matter where i end up working there is always someone willing to share some insight with me. My supervisor uses this to show people that certain everyday things that upset us can be avoided.

Everyone knows about the original bullfight that happens in mostly Spanish countries. Well this setting can be applied to our everyday life. Think of everyday and every situation as a new fight. The people we encounter daily are the bulls. In the original bullfight there is one aim: To not let the bull "jook" you. In life, if we allow people to get under our skin, they have succeeded and we can consider ourselves "jooked". However we are always given the opportunity to let them run past us. We all have a little red flag.
Another thing we have to look out for is the substance that comes from the bull's rear end. This is the B.S. that people most times try to give us (like certain utility companies that love to transfer your call). In the original fight, if u slip in this B.S. it is not only going to be all over you, allowing you to smell fresher than before, but it will give the bull a chance to "jook" you. So always look out for the B.S.

Note well the texture of the bull's skin. This shows you that entertaining an argument with others may not only hurt you but most times won't change the stubborness of the others.
To end a fight, the matador can pull out a knife and stab the bull in the back of his neck. The bull has successfully been tricked. The only way we win in everyday situations is to remain calm, and find a way to beat the situation without bringing much danger to ourselves (and our blood pressure).
Basically what i'm trying to share with u guys:
When u get an overpriced [phone, light, water] bill and u query it by telephone>>>Don't let the bull jook u!
When u r at work and ur boss gives u something to do 5 minutes before u are about to leave>>>Don't let the bull jook u!
When dealing with a school that has a section called "ADMISSIONS" that u would like to burn down>>>Don't let the bull jook u!
WHEN U HAVE A PROJECT DUE AT 9 THE NEXT MORNING U R UP TIL 4 A.M. AND THE LIGHT GOES, AND TAKES YOUR PROJECT WITH YOU AND THE LIBRARY OPENS AT 8:30 WITH YOUR CLASS STARTING AT 8>>>>......(i don't think i can help u there cause i would be, and was, extremely upset when that happened)
Ah well, it works in most cases, just remember the bullfight the next time someone brings some crap to you. Laugh, you'll live longer :)

Some 'jooks' can't be avoided, but that's life. You have to learn to deal. :-)

Some 'jooks' are good 'jooks', they make you more prepared for 'jookings' so that the next time you're about to get 'jooked' you avoid it. :-)

Timely reminder.
