5 Minutes Free Writing - Not More News
Good morning all, doing my 5 minutes free writing with prompt - Not More News. Hope you enjoy the story.
Returning to the office from hospital after his 3 years old son was admitted for acute stomachache and infection. Albert was tired, but he can't rest just yet as being the CEO of a listed company, now there's news of a take over bid by his competitor and share price is plummeting, he had to attend an urgent board meeting to answer to the board. An hour later, his Sales Development Director Kim knocks on his door, briefing him that they had failed to win the bid for a key project they had prepared for the past 3 months.
"Jane, please stop all walk in to my office and do not direct more calls in as I need not more news now but some quiet time" reads his teams message to his secretary.
Everyone of us probably would have experience days like this, where a busy start to the day where we are presenting with unpleasant news one after another. Till the point we were overwhelmed, at this moment, we would like to take a break both mentally and physically. To allow my body to take a break as such news takes a toll on the body and our mind need a moment to process and sort out and time to handle all these news one by one.
How do you react when you need not more news especially bad ones?
