The story of Miriam and it’s inspiration source has me feeling bad right about now. How sad that small-minded pettiness and intentional blindness should be so prevalent.
I am watching the Lord Of the Rings series to believe in courage and selfless heroes again.
They are not all in stories, I will believe that.
Murphy:
Two things I’ve learned about the corporate world:
1.) A few people on the ladder do not operate from or for excellence, but insecurity. This gives them a second-rate mindset that only praises second-rate work. They tend to reward mediocrity and despise excellence; your performance is personalized and hated, because they believe that you use your work ethic to make them look bad.
2.) Environments that don’t operate “above board” end up being counter-productive and never become the powerhouse they want to be… except maybe when it comes to bullying good workers out of jobs.
I hate to sound like a bad Mariah Carey song (isn’t she and “bad” synonymous?), but the hero you are looking for lies in you. You are a true inspiration to those of us that go unappreciated in our professions. You don’t have to watch a movie to find inspiration – look in a mirror, woman!
I don’t have to send you “best wishes,” because you are going to be a success at whatever it is that you chose to do.
