This made my day today:
          	
          	I asked each department to design a strategic model for 2026.
          	After some quiet scribbling, one lead stepped forward and revealed…
          	a diagram that looked unmistakably like a potato.
          	
          	A potato.
          	Round. Simple. Full of mystery.
          	
          	And somehow, everyone nodded as if it contained
          	the blueprint for world peace
          	and the secret to unlimited funding.
          	
          	I kept a straight face so they wouldn’t feel embarrassed, but inside, my soul was whisper-screaming,
          	“Why does our future look like a vegetable?”
          	
          	I stared at it longer than I should have.
          	Maybe the strategy was hidden between the curves.
          	Maybe it was abstract genius…
          	or maybe lunch was late and we were all delirious.
          	
          	But then, a thought rooted itself in my mind:
          	
          	Perhaps the potato was a metaphor,
          	a humble prophecy of growth.
          	We begin small,
          	quiet in the soil,
          	building roots where no one sees.
          	
          	And one day…
          	we rise,
          	we transform,
          	we become french fries, golden, warm, and capable of bringing joy to even the tired souls of strategic planning.
          	
          	If that’s the future we’re heading toward,
          	from dirt to delicious,
          	from simple to something that sparks a smile,
          	then honestly,
          	I’m in. ✨
          	
          	Transformation, but make it crispy.
          	hahahahaha
