The Project Manager's Life 18

With projects, it often seems like there is either no project to work on or too much demand for our time on various projects. When there finally is work to be done, requests for our help seem to come from every direction and we feel pulled in too many directions. As we say in English, “when it rains, it pours.”

Of course that is from our perspective here on Earth looking up. The following sher gives us the perspective from the cloud’s point of view looking down.

ये एक अब्र का टुकड़ा कहाँ कहाँ बरसे
तमाम दश्त ही प्यासा दिखाई देता है

[ अब्र = cloud; दश्त = desert, arid plain ]

शायर : शकेब जलाली

يے ايک ابر کا ٹکڑا کہاں کہاں برسے
تمام دشت ہی پياسا دکھائ ديتا ہے


شاعر: شکیب جلالی

Ultimately, we have to prioritize and release the “rain” of our skills on the “thirstiest” projects.
