Some
of the most exciting, yet terrifying words many people will ever hear
are "Honey, I’ve Been Transferred." A man walks
through the door and excitedly tells his wife his company has transferred
him to Singapore. A mother sits on the bed and explains to the children
that the family is moving to Mexico City. A child tries to make the family
dog understand that the family is going to live some place called Munich.
The words, "Honey, I’ve Been Transferred," is
the beginning of a new adventure. And what you make of it -- rewarding
or frightening – depends on good preparation.
