“Jane didn't mean to be late, just as she didn't mean for her whole life to feel like an undisciplined failure. She had every intention of being on time and even planned carefully to do so. But something would always come up...Jane lived a priority-less life. Whatever was right in front of her became her new number-one priority. The speaker called her a wonderful woman you'd never want to hire...She is willing to do anything for anyone at any time...Her weakness is that by trying to meet the needs right in front of her, she's unable to keep the commitments she's already made.”
