   employees. An "engaged employee" is defined as one who is fully absorbed by and
   enthusiastic about their work and so takes positive action to further the organization’s
   reputation and interests.

12. Story
    Damien’s philosophical take
    on egocentric perspectives
    « Can one person hold the
    absolute truth about a given
    subject? »
    «Yes. Absolutely. If he is alone
    in a room, by himself, he will
    ‘own’ the truth.
    If he ‘steps’ out of the room, he
    must accept that other truths
    exist.»
