How is this for an interesting observation.
Because I don’t know how to do things together I do them alone.
As a result I get exhausted and I don’t do half the things that I want to do.
Why is it that most of us refuse to learn to play team and rather stick to our own.
It is not that it is not heralded by successful people.
I just read Seth Godin’s blog about ‘Why bother having a resume?’ and it is worthwhile sharing.
So here is my shortened version;
Top students at universities are applying for my internship.
Each of the applications just sends a resume. Sort of, “here are the facts about me, please put me in the pile.” There is no attempt at self marketing.
This is controversial, but here goes: I think if you’re remarkable, amazing or just plain spectacular, you probably shouldn’t have a resume at all.
Bridget loaned us the book ‘Presence’, thank you Bridget!
This book is co-authored by four people, Peter Senge, Joseph Jaworski, Betty Sue Flowers and C.Otto Scharmer and it deals with learning.
They were wondering what it takes to change the world drastically, so it becomes a better place to live in.
I too wonder why we still go to work we hate and why traffic jams cannot get solved.
So the book got my attention.
In between building, plumbing, sanding, repairing and painting I have been thinking about how the world would look like when we were all living together as if we were not afraid of each other.
What would we be capable of if we were not afraid to ask people when we needed or wanted something?
What more would I dare to do if I knew there was always a safety net of people to catch me?
