Last week, I was in a meeting with my team, talking about the future projects, and budgeting the following year.

When suddenly my phone rang and it was the president asking me to urgently hold a meeting by video call, to talk about strategic planning for next year.
"During the meeting, he decided to drop the bomb and reveal the unexpected news about the company's merger plans." He commented that we would need to reduce all investments by 50%, due to an unexpected priority! It was a cold water shower! But we did what had to be done and reviewed all the priorities. In the corporate world there is only one rule: everything can change at any time.

Write it here: In August of 2023, during dinner, I decided to drop a bomb. I told my mom that she would be the grandmother of two boys. She was completely surprised because she didn’t know about the new members of our family. For a few moments, she just stared at me, trying to process the news.

This news really dropped the bomb on our evening when my mother thought it would be a normal family dinner, but now everyone is very happy with the new family that has been formed. My mom is excited and already loves her grandsons. It was a wonderful surprise that brought a lot of joy to all of us.

Some days ago, I went to school walking with my friend Carol and we were gossiping about our classmates. I noticed that she looked worried and trying to hide something so I asked her "what's wrong Carol?" and she said "Promise me you won't tell anyone about this?". I knew she was going to drop a bomb. Then she started "you know that girl from 2nd grade? she was hitting on our histroy teacher yesterday!". I was hit between the eyes. Later, I received the news that the girl had been suspended.

One week later, the negotiation and everything changed because at work my manager dropped a bomb. In a meeting, we learned that the company was being sold and everyone in the there was stunned into silence and I thought to myself, 'How can I pay for the house?' Long story short, God blessed us and everything went ok and happy as we could buy the house.

This year I started studying at new school, but all my friends still study at my old one. I still talk to them everyday and, of course, I wanted to know everything that was going on there. So, we set up a day so I could catch up with them. As soon as I got there my friend dropped a bomb! I was shocked but it didn´t stop there, my other friend dropped another bomb on us! We spent the whole evening talking about that.

Stoicism is the philosophy to prepare yourself to whatever bad situation you face in your life. But no matter how prepared you think you are. When somebody drops a bomb on you the effect is unpredictable.
