From the Playground to the Boardroom

Childhood meant

Laughing on the swingset;

Adulthood means

Watching the clock tick at work.



Childhood meant

Riding the see-saw;

Adulthood means

Solving issues with mediators.



Childhood meant

Hanging on monkey bars;

Adulthood means

Climbing corporate ladders.



Childhood meant

Playing in shallow sandboxes;

Adulthood means

Shoveling away your reputation.



Childhood meant

Sliding down in recess;

Adulthood means

Sliding away from morals.
