Outside Reading 6

In the reading today there was a quote that said, "They had to learn how to operate in a much reduced space." I can relate this to many things in life. First, I went on a trip to Kentucky last summer with my dad and we brought a tent that was the suitable for one person. Of course both of us had to sleep in it and the first couple nights were very rough, but I had to learn to deal with it because that was the size of the tent and amount of space I would be sleeping in for the rest of the week. Second, there were many conflicts with this reduced space because there were several surgeons that had to be doing the surgery at a time. With a small space like that, it could be very difficult to get the tools needed and move around without knocking things over or running into them. Since this was their job and were forced to work in a smaller space, they had to put up with it and couldn't complain if they wanted to keep their job. Life is short and there are many other things worse than a smaller work space!
