Business Lessons from Incompetent Space Aliens and UFOs:
The Roswell Incident!
.
-An Original Business Blog Article by Yonatan Maisel-
.
.
Just a short post today as I’ll be leaving for the hospital momentarily and promised my wife I would take a break from work and blogging:
.
Roswell, New Mexico. July, 1947. An alien UFO crashes. A spaceship in flaming ruins. The corpses of "Little Green Men" are strewn about. A government cover-up of monstrous proportions follows. What ensues is one of the largest and longest-lasting conspiracy theories in modern history.
.
The truth is, I think it’s a bunch of horseshit. The closest star which can support a life-sustaining planet is hundreds of light-years away. Our good old Space Shuttle traveling at a galactic snails-pace of 18,000 mph would take almost half a million years to get there!
.
And I’m supposed to believe that these aliens have developed some super-advanced technology which enables them to travel to our Earth, hurtling across the expanses of the galaxy at Star Trek-style warp-speed. And the first…the very FIRST thing they do on arrival is lose control and crash!
.
It would be like you or I driving 3,000 miles safely from Los Angeles to New York and in the last six inches of the journey plowing your car into your garage door!

The final part of any project…

…the home-stretch or finish-line if you will, is one which is plagued and wrought with danger!
Oftentimes we are tired. Exhausted even! We’ve poured our hearts and souls into our work for days, weeks, even months. We crave one thing: finishing!
It is at this stage that we have a tendency to rush just a bit. Become a tad careless. A final check for mistakes? Not always. Maybe it’s a deadline. Maybe just the desire to get it over with. We become impulsive. Lackadaisical. We are tempted to send the work out on a whim and…yes…get paid.
It’s time to…

Take a break! Give the old eyes and brain a chance to rest. Watch a good Gable movie. Take your spouse out to dinner. Walk the dog. Sit back, enjoy a cold pint of Guinness and listen to The Jimi Hendrix Experience from start to finish. Let the work sit for an hour or two…it won’t run away!
Then…come back and give it a good review. A comprehensive and thorough second-look. Proofread it. Edit it. Check for consistency, accuracy and clarity. And check for errors.

Flying saucers apparently crash just short of the finish–line.

Don’t let the same carelessness ruin your work!
