Are we willing to do what's necessary?

Are we going to get the job done?  Or just be a scrub?

Do we ascend to new heights.  Or fall into plight?

How do we decide??

I feel strongly that it's inside.  It's a will that keep us alive.

That's how we survive.  But deciding, deep inside.

That you have the guts to tough it out.  To stand resolute.

In your pursuits; you have eternal and utter belief.  Transcending to will.

And that will.  Shall render you transcendental  in your rise to fulfill.

The goals, ever be them self instilled.

Funny incident...

The other day, I was e-mailing partners in New York.  Not, of course, the most pleasant place to do business.   People are quick and fast to the punch. So, of course I have to suspect some backlash when I go pecking into my business affairs there. I basically cold e-mail people, so you  just never know what you'll get. Part of the fun... I know.

So I'm checking through responses to my inquiries;  then I get to the biggest asshole response I've ever seen.  His response read:   " Have you ever considered mucking yourself? "That's what he wrote back to me.  A fury of rage overcame me.  How could his asshole insult me like that.  What a total effinnn" asshole!!!!!   I was stunned.  But how to retaliate?

Then I remembered who this dude was.  Several years earlier, I had e-mailed him; and he was rude then too.  He reply had said: " Don't spam me".  Just like that.  I KNOW: what a raging asshole.  Im being  factitious, in case you couldn't tell.

So I guess he had, in fact, given me due warning.  And I simply chose to ignore that.  So it looks like maybe I'm the asshole.  Right?!?!?!

Fuck no.  He was: the balls on this prick.  ( to quote Soprano lore) But still how to reply?

Here's what I came up with:  " I'd forgotten what a perfect gentleman you were. "  Very snappy, ehhh.
Fuck this prick anyway. Right?!?!?

I could go on and on about this escalating prick like tone.  But for now let's remember a couple things:

1) A dick head is always a dick head.

2) Boys never grow up.

3) People agitate each-other in business.

4) Let it go, boss.  Your dignity is more important.
