The evergreen truth.. narrated in a nice way..
Personal experience..
Met one of the corporate czars recently over lunch who was trying to recruit me back. She was shocked that I was without a formal job for three years and wanted to know how I spent these three years. I said I did this and that and obtained a PhD in ABDN..
Being CEO of a world famous tech company she didn't want to appear ignorant of a new technology and made the usual exclamations like "wow.. amazing.. really Dr Laloo etc etc". However towards the end of the lunch, she bent forward & whispered " what was the topic again on which you got your PhD?"
I replied "ABDN" very seriously
She expected me to tell her but I kept quiet and was busy finishing the dessert..
"Ok tell me, what does it stands for " was her next question
"Appearing Busy Doing Nothing"
She threw the dessert spoon on me which thanks to my stars, missed my ferrari glasses & hit the forehead..
