How to Develop Your Service Business - By Michael Gerber

…how different my life would be today. If you were to ask the very same question, I am sure you would discover some remarkably interesting answers.

For example. I was born in 1936, in June of that year. Which means, for openers, that when World War II happened, I was only four years old, which meant that I skipped that entire war.

And of course, when the Korean War followed on its heels, I was still too young to be called, and by the time I enlisted in the Army the Korean War was already at its end.

And in the middle of my stay in the Army my Dad had a serious stroke which pulled me home to serve another kind of war in the service of my family.

Which also meant that I was thankfully too old when the Vietnam War came calling, so I missed that one too.

And then of course I was much too old for the first Gulf War and the second Gulf War and all of the terrible conflicts which followed those two.

Now, I don’t know what all that means, but it seems that G-d had something else in mind for me.

If I had been born in Germany, say, in the very same year of 1936, it would have been certain, being a Jew, that none of my family nor I would have escaped the Holocaust.

And that would have been some kind of a rotten shame.

Same year, same child, different place. G-d must have had something else in mind for me.

Which leads me to the obvious question: I wonder what He had in mind?

In all probability it is probably just this. The question is am I doing it now? Are you?Or is it something else I am supposed to be doing?

And if so, what?

And for whom?

I can’t help but wonder if I had been born at any other time what the answer to that question would be.
