Training Industry Magazine - Fall 2016 - 29
One of the most valuable lessons I ever
learned happened in an unexpected
way. I was boarding an early morning
flight from DC to Dallas. The weather
was clear, and I was looking forward to a
few hours of quiet time and maybe even
some shut eye. As I lumbered down the
aisle with my carry-on and briefcase, I
could see that the seat next to mine was
occupied. My quiet time was in jeopardy.
My row mate appeared to be in his early
40s. He was suited up, tie and all. My
new friend (I'll call him Sandy) started a
conversation as soon as I buckled. Our
conversation went like this:
SANDY: Hi, I'm Sandy. How are you? What

correctly, you sell sand? That must be a
boring job.
SANDY: Boring? Not at all! Did you know
that the infrastructure of our nation is at
risk? My product is critical to our country.
Bridges, pipelines, broadcast towers,
satellite transmitters and receivers all
need regular maintenance to ensure
safety and functionality. (He paused for
a breath.) Without proper maintenance,
thousands of lives would be at risk, along
