"Moments in life can often be categorized by the maxims or proverbs that have come before. Hindsight allows one to see how these really surmise different events throughout a person's history, and, sometimes, maxims and proverbs can be used to give direction to a person's life. The maxim, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do", came into play when the writer took up a new position at Acme Manufacturing. The writer had applied for the customer service position, knowing that Acme Manufacturing was a perfectly suitable type of company. After a series of interviews with not only the departmental manager, but also some of the other customer service team members, the writer wanted the position even more."
