One day a man was having a conversation with god when his whole life
flashed before his eyes as a series of footsteps on the sands of time.
He saw that there were two pairs of footprints, but during the most
difficult periods of his life there were only one set of footprints. He
asked god "You said you will be with me throughout this journey, but
why have you deserted me during the most critical times of my life??"
to which god answered "Son, I did not desert you, I was always with
you...you see only one set of footprints because during those difficult
times in your life, I was carrying you"
Another day a S/w Programmer was having a similar conversation with
his Project Manager when his whole project flashed before his eyes as a
series of footsteps on the sands of time. He saw that there were two
pairs of footprints, but during the most difficult times in the project
there were only one set of footprints. He asked his PM "You said you
will be with me throughout the project, but why have you deserted me
during the most critical times of the project??" to which the PM
answered "Son, I did not desert you, I was always with you...you see
only one set of footprints because during those difficult times, I was
sitting on your head!!"
