Phone Doesn't Ring:

Phone Doesn’t Ring

Author Al Stewart in his book The Manual: Getting Masculinity Right, tells the story of his conversation with legendary Rugby league football coach Jack Gibson. Gibson recounted his time as the State Of Origin coach, a role that dominated the press every year in Australia for several months. Gibson said the phone would ring 80 times a day from journalists looking for an interview or quote.

Gibson went on to say that his phone doesn’t ring that often anymore. His advice to Stewart was to get ready for when your phone doesn’t ring.

It’s sage advice from Gibson. Life is more than your work or your contact list. Build relationships, connect with your family, sustain your faith. They will all matter (all the more) when your phone doesn’t ring.
