Chicken or Pig ?

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

On the ride down to camp yesterday, a co-worker and I were discussing someone's commitment to a job. He was saying that " I want a pig!"

So I asked what he was talking about. He responded, "Breakfast, man. If you have eggs and ham (or bacon, sausage), the chicken participates by providing an egg... But the Pig is 100% committed."

It really got me to thinking. I need to be the pig not the chicken. I have participated in quite a few online journeys.I don't believe any of them went well, because I wasn't the pig. I wasn't 100% committed.

Am I way off-base in this thinking?
