“I just don’t have the time, sir!” he said in response to my demanding inquiry about why he wasn’t following the workout regimen I had given him. I could feel my blood boiling, my skin flushing red, my forehead and neck veins throbbing with anger. I didn’t believe in wasting people’s time. I knew how important my time was, and how I felt when it was wasted, and I expected the same in return.
