An Einstein Kind of Day

I ran across this post today in Google and it made me laugh, because sometimes I have an Einsteinian day where I too don’t know where I am going.

Albert Einstein was once traveling from Princeton on a train when the conductor came down the aisle,
punching the tickets of every passenger.
When he came to Einstein,
Einstein reached in his vest pocket.
He couldn’t find his ticket,
so he reached in his trouser pockets.
It wasn’t there, so he looked in his briefcase but couldn’t find it.
Then he looked in the seat beside him.
He still couldn’t find it.
The conductor said,
‘Dr. Einstein, I know who you are.
We all know who you are.
I’m sure you bought a ticket.
Don’t worry about it.’
Einstein nodded appreciatively.
The conductor continued down the aisle punching tickets.
As he was ready to move to the next car,
he turned around and saw the great physicist
down on his hands and knees
looking under his seat for his ticket.
The conductor rushed back and said,
‘Dr. Einstein, Dr. Einstein, don’t worry,
I know who you are. No problem.
You don’t need a ticket.
I’m sure you bought one.’
Einstein looked at him and said,
‘Young man, I too, know who I am.
What I don’t know is where I’m going. That’s why I am searching for my ticket”

Since this is a blog about insurance, I suppose I should tie this into claims because for most people having an insurance claim is like being Einstein on that train. They don’t know where they are going, nor how to get there. They are just along for the ride and at the end find themselves vaguely dis-satisfied  with the result.

Starting out with the end in mind is way to increasing your recovery. Don’t know where to start? BenefitBill can help.

Have a great day!
