Killing Bin Laden

When you work in a big organization, things will- more often than not- go horribly wrong. If you work in a huge organization- more often than not- not only will things go horribly wrong but when they do everyone will begin hunting for that one person that took that final call before everything caught fire.

When American Navy SEALs went in to eliminate Osama, multiple things went wrong. One of their helicopters crashed. None of them landed where or how they were supposed to land (one helicopter crashed; the other one had to disembark its passengers outside the compound instead of inside). There were walls and metal gates where there weren't supposed to be any.

So your helicopter has crashed; none of you are where you were supposed to be.

You can scream and  bitch and mope and point fingers.

Or you can go ahead and kill Bin Laden.

The next time your copter crashes just think of it this way. Everything might have gone terribly wrong but there's still Bin Laden to be killed.
