I sometimes feel like I’m the one thing out of place. I don’t know why because I try to fit in. Well, not all the time. I do march to my own beat. But I do know you’re stronger as a team and always try to work in that concept.
I’ve been in some great teams over time both professionally, personally and socially. But teams change over time. Success or failure can bring stresses to the team that people don’t deal with equally well.
Sometimes egos, greed or need for control also change teams dramatically. Mutual respect and trust changes can destroy the best of teams. The best teams I’ve seen contain diverse personalities, skills, and thoughts. But the key factor to that success is respect, trust, and knowledge that as part of that team they will be much more together than they ever could be apart again and they work to adapt, change and modify to the success of the team while keeping their unique contributions.

I’m sitting here feeling beyond tired. I’ll probably be snoring before I hit the pillow in a while. I shouldn’t get this way but life happens. There are a lot of sleep-deprived people staggering around out there.
Random Thoughts of the Day
- Some lessons are never learned.
- I can’t decide if I should get ahead or just catch up?
- Is it really wrong to put a V8 into a Miata? A thought I wrestle with.
- I’m working on the thought of working out.
