There are different types of people and though I may have not traversed the length and breath of the world, I have managed to meet most of them…but am sure there are other kinds of people who I have not come across till now….
Like I said, people are of different kinds – the straight forwards, the back biters, the selfish, the generous, the dictators, the lenient, the cunning, the slimy, the helpful, the ambitious, the jovial, the serious, the list could go on and on and on…..these are what you can probably call traits or the basic underlying character of the person….and every person is either one or a combination of them…..
Am not an expert on judging what kind of person he or she is but to some extent I have quite judged them right the first time…I have faltered too…no doubt on that….but somehow I don’t quite understand how a person can change to undefined non understandable, un-comprehendible degrees….
When you lead a team, its your responsibility to be magnanimous enough to take responsibility of your teams short comings (you'll anyways take credit for their incredible performance), after all at the end of the day, you are what you are because of your team and vice versa….you are your team….you can’t afford to be petty in your actions and thoughts…..
You shouldn’t at any point of time be insecure and sport an inferiority complex….if you do it simply means you’re not confident on yourself and your abilities… Simple as that!!! Even if you do and still somehow are on the fast track to the top, you need to remember where you came from…you need to have those feet firmly pasted to the ground….simply because the one’s who have made it to the top have simply because they have had their feet on the ground ……firmly anchored…!!!!
I see tough times ahead….. I hope I have enough patience in me to see it through, I do firmly believe there it couldn’t get worse and every thing is after all learning at this point in life…. But I have a limit…. A threshold….it could get dirty if I am pushed to it…..am praying I don’t …am praying I don’t!!!!
