Mercurial

Work has been slow lately. I have been advised to be patient, but of course, being me, I have plans to be CEO already.
And that is the point: Why are you working at a corp. if not to exert your own professional abilities to the best of your capacities, and in doing so, make a change?
A lot of people talk about retiring, making compromises, doing less, taking it easy. I do not see myself like that. Yet, I wish I were more competitive, considered for a faster track or more demanding positions.
I have been advised to be patient. Yet everyday I have to walk knowing that I can do better than a lot of people over there. Of, it is painfully obvious that in some respects I am still learning, and that I need a much more definite presence before even going halfway where I want to be.
Yet, is it possible to maintain a goal during so many years? It is not a speed race, but a long distance one.
I am off to read about Lance Armstrong.
