This is an entry about impressionist people.
There has been a lot of talented professionals with weird behavior. We usually accept it as they are, because we believe people are unique, and everything is fair... some people are gifted and weak at the same time. We were told that we have to accept them for "just the way they are."
I simply refused to, and for a good reason. I pick people I want to get business with, and I avoid people, I certainly was being an asshole to some that I perfectly remember with, but I rarely regretted it.
I was this good nice new guy once, waiting somebody to "shape me up" like whatever victim of a sick porno movie ever imagined when they did their first act. But anyway, this is an entirely different business, and I am not talking about typical Asian education system orientation bullying or scouting activity. Being a real man takes entirely different approach, and surely there will be nothing like giving yourself up for your seniors to have crazed sexual humiliation fantasy on you.
Anyway, in this kind of environment, you'll feel the urge to show off all your best, just for the sake of some recognition, and extra pay, of course, but if that is your only goal. The super most bestest ever-way to survive however, is to be normal. Normal in a sense that you are doing exactly what many other sensible people around you do. That is pretty fucking straight. Just do what the boss says, no more, no less.
Going beyond the expectations is only good as overused marketing jingle. A tip for wiseguy: unless you are trying that same old useless trick in front of the boss, please don't sacrifice your team member.
Yeah, that is it! If your boss told you not to, why show it off?
Consistency is the king of all work. It makes the world plain and fucking bland. But that saves a lot of dudes. Imagine if they make airplanes inconsistently.
But these are the impressionist people, too much for impression, that they have this unexplainable urge to show their co-workers that "I take my responsibility, I'll do the extra work!" These people will stay late at work despite not being ask to, and tend to drag co-workers into it.
Well, to get to the right side, what were they saying back then? They all do hate it, if they can't get home on time. Sure! Every people hate it, nobody likes overtime even though it pays you more, unless you are sweatshop, family-supporting man, you don't have to waste energy to just show just that. These people aren't true to their own words. Some has just say that they don't like working for more, but here we caught the guy dragging the work late to the night instead of continuing tomorrow.
I call these behavior "last minute mindfucked good guy impressionist" syndrome.
My method to impress the big guys is just to give more than what was asked, on the fucking schedule. Cause nobody like delays, that's clear. I never intend to screw up a schedule just because I want to show other people that I am willing to work more. I simply don't! If I do, I'll just open a strip club and a boutique at the same time, then I can get really busy with workers of conflicting ideals.
No really, what's the big idea about showing off that you are a hard worker by staying up late doing nothing but the work you're supposed to finish much much later?
When the boss says, "go home" we go home. By doing that, you are not any more diligent than the boss. It fails for me, and fails for many other. You don't do extra work by screwing up others, make it works for yourself! And you don't clean the mess you purposefully messed yourself in first place, just to show that you are really working.
Some random Chinese guy once said, "hard work is the key to success."
If this includes working for more hours, then we can safely say that, if you work so hard, that you don't take any rest, it will be much better, cause many people actually do this. We might as well take their resting time, deprive them from sleeping hours, then we can guarantee the key to success.
LOL
It came to me that wise words are just empty words. It is like romantic story: it is just a story, fabulous to a few and bullshit to many, are people just being depressed? No, because every wise words are incomplete, like a piece of uninteresting puzzle.
No, really... to continue,
You can only tolerate so much that you finally realise that being a nice guy is becoming a championship lure, a sure bait, for barrage of pranks, trolling. To avoid such situation, there is no other option than to become wise. Just don't preach other people generic good stuff, and please don't copy religious textbooks, because being a wise-ass only fuels the good bonfire.
There are many reasons why I don't like Angeline Jolie. I imagine my girl to be much different from her. Sure it is fascinating that finally a non-blonde girl is "the most beautiful girl" once more, and I don't like blondes, but that's just it. All the good features are simply too much on her, too skinny, too big, too wide, too slim, too much, overrated.
It is probably same reason why I think normalcy is for the win. Normalcy is just there with reasonable explanation to exist and barely hang in the just riiiiiight balance. That is fabulous, absolutely awesome, definitely great, stunning, astonishing, nothing less than gorgeous! It is all!
Being normal is never good, but also never bad. Keep the last part in mind!
