Intellectually I fully understand that people are expensive, difficult to manage and often redundant. But as a human I remember the best part of my career as those times when we worked as a team to accomplish a goal. There must be two types of people in the world. Those who exalt in sharing success and those who don’t; the “it’s all mine!” folks. In this world they run things. This country has rewarded people with vision who invested their hearts, minds and money into the future with little gain in the short run. But it also rewards short term success with country club and second home money; the “All mine and I want it now” guys. To some I’ll always be seen as a liability, eventually we may all be. But just like the earth’s core changing direction right on schedule, we’ll change too. How that works out for most will depend on how far we want to see in the future.
