The news detonated in Kevin’s brain. The entry-level marketing assistant made more than he, a manager? He felt a sudden, inexplicable… *buzz* that ran from the top of his head to the tips of his toes. He felt like he could outrun a cheetah.

He slammed his hands on his desk, his eyes darting around the room, taking in every detail with sudden, intense focus. He felt a powerful urge to move, to *do*. He would not let this stand. He had to act.

He grabbed a pad of paper and a pen and began to furiously jot down notes. He wrote a list of goals, outlined new strategies, and began planning his next career move. He felt like he was soaring. He smiled. This was only the beginning.
