the people around~

Where I work, I get to see, witness and feel the vibes of many brilliant people (with the exception of myself). In this small department I work in, exists a small group of people who are really good at what I do. The sort of people who know what they are doing, knowing where to start, steady and simply having their mojo working (with the exception of myself............. again).

One word to sum up what I feel most of the time at work

"CLUELESS"

or

"BLUR"

Kidding people isn't what I am trying to do right here. What I say is the truth and nothing but the truth. After all, I have nothing to hide. =)

In a car race, the one trailing usually gets the benefit since he gets to see the driving style and techniques of the one ahead of him. With work and life, it is quite the opposite. Trailing behind everyone else is anything but good. It's like trailing behind a a bus running on diesel in a traffic jam. Too much exhaust is far from good for your car.

So here I am hitting the red zone, trying not to get left behind. Hopefully, I won't run out of fuel while continuously hitting the red zone or otherwise overheat before I catch up to them.

The good thing is that it points to the direction that tells me there a lot of room for improvement. Which is, effectively a good thing.

A friend of mine summed it up very well saying, "It's good to be number 2 because you get more satisfaction chasing the one ahead of you and in the end to overtake him. It's a feeling so great you will never forget it!" Ironically, I can't help but agree with him.
