We All Suffer Loss Sometime
By Rolf Joho
There were four professional men who had been good friends since childhood. They had dreams and aspirations that career wise had come true. Each one was a huge success in his relevant field. As medical doctor, architect, corporate attorney and consumer attorney they had reached the pinnacle of their careers and were seeking a new challenge. One night while playing poker, Jeff, our corporate attorney made quite a strange suggestion that alarmed the group yet left them highly intrigued. As each was set in his ways and comfortable with his standard of living the challenge put forward was welcome with almost youthful enthusiasm. Career rotation for a week. Each being a specialist in his field had no inkling as to the how to s of the others careers, but this prospect of learning something new ignited a fire in all the men that had long since died down. But not anymore, Jeff s bright idea had lit a fire under all of them. For the first week, Jeff would be a doctor and Mark would take his place as corporate lawyer. In week two Jeff would be the architect and his good friend would replace him as corporate lawyer. Week three would see the consumer attorney take on the role of the much larger corporate attorney, which was something that he had been pondering for some time now. In week four each man would

return and receive his title back and Jeff would once again be the corporate attorney he once was. First week of corporate attorney duty and the doctor was already receiving lessons in his new life; he had not realized that loss is not just a matter of losing life. Losing one s wealth can be just as crippling and heart sore as losing a family member. Week two finds our architect converted to corporate attorney learning a thing or two about financial foundations, and how they too need to be sturdy to prevent collapse of one s financial structure. In our final week our consumer man had taken the task of corporate attorney and realized his true calling. He was sorely needed on ground level dealing with consumers as corporate had more than one advisor who would argue on behalf of the corporate whereas the consumers were at the mercy of the court. At the end, each man was grateful for the lesson and more appreciative of what he has.
