Fired

"Getting Fired Can Be A Positive Career Move

[...] It means that the job isn't right for you.

- Paul Arden in It's Not How Good You Are, It's How Good You Want To Be


"Fired? It's the Best Thing That Can Happen To You.

[...] You hated your situation anyway.

You must begin again.

It's a wonderful opportunity for you.

Literally, they let you go."
- Paul Arden in Whatever You Think, Think the Opposite.
