The NY Times has an interesting article about people who discover, that being fired from their job was the best thing that ever happened to them.

“Even though I had to sell everything I ever owned and didn’t have any income to support my son, I was suddenly free and happy,”

I agree. Looking back on my life, I have to say that every major change I’ve made or lived through (even the ones that seemed traumatic at the time) have been changes for the better. Not that I’ve ever actually been fired – I’ve always managed to walk away from jobs I didn’t like any more on my own :o)
