“Thank God That Happened”- Stan Lee


Stan Lee, if you don’t know, became the face of Marvel Comics. He began working there after being fired from another job.

In a documentary about his life, Stan recalls the experience of being fired through the lens of hindsight and says – “Thank God that happened or I’d likely still be making trousers”.

I couldn’t help but smile widely, reflecting on my own experience of being let go unceremoniously.

So to quote Stan Lee: THANK GOD THAT HAPPENED.

I’m proud of myself and the fact that I stood up for what was right and asked for a fair wage.

If I hadn’t been fired, I never would have started Happy Hive Homeschooling. And I’m really proud of the products and services I provide families through this business.

I am stronger, wiser, and free to earn far more than I ever did as a Catholic School Teacher.
