Did he just call me a typhoon?

Work today left my soul speechless. I find myself working exceptionally hard and at times extremely frustrated with others' effort towards the cause. I don't have a lot of insight to contribute today except that expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are an honest worker is like expecting a bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.

On a side note, a co-worker called me a tycoon today. After jokingly thanking him for referring to me as a huge storm in the Pacific Ocean, he corrected me and informed me that a tycoon as defined by Merriam Webster is "a top leader, a businessman of exceptional wealth and power". Surprisingly, the word was directed as a complement for my hard work and not a criticism. This reminds me that often times the world isn't as dark as it looks, I just need to take off my sunglasses!

I will leave you with these thoughts from various people in hopes that they will motivate the both of us!

Don’t get mad. Get everything! ~ Ivana Trump

A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit. ~ Arnold H. Glasgow

Leaders aren’t born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that’s the price we’ll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal. ~ Vince Lombardi
