I was taking the elevator up to the roof with my maintenance guy so we could check out the rooftop evaporative cooler. We were alone until it stopped and the doors opened. As they were opening, he pushed me and said "NO MEANS NO!!!" and walked out of the elevator past them and away.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
