Being a Leader vs Being a Cheerleader

Dsc02000

This is one of my Seth-isms

 

Being a Leader requires you to be on the field. Being a Cheerleader requires you to be on the sidelines rooting for those on the field. Leaders get dirty and know the tactical plays. Cheerleaders are loud, dance around and look pretty. Leaders know how to say when. Cheerleaders have to be told to stop. A cheerleader is  a function and the Leader is the voice. The moral is know if you are a leader or a cheerleader. If you pretend to be a leader and really are just a cheerleader say so. If you are a cheerleader and want to be a leader by all means get dirty in your passion. But remember Leaders lose games too. You just get back up and dust yourself off. There is nothing else you can do unless you want to waste your energy and time on dwelling.

I hate writing after interview Thank you letters, I want to be genuine, but it is so cliche' to say it was nice meeting you, looking forward to the next steps or it was nice meeting you, I really want to work for your organization. In reality, this position is just a job and gives me a paycheck. Oh, my brain has decided I rather be a starving artist than be a cog in a cog factory. Yes, little by little my brain is thinking just do what you want and the rest will come. Maybe this is a good thing. I am sick of thinking of getting a job. I figure I better learn what I want and go with that. I am still young and don't want to shuffle papers for someone.

I really like Andy Warhol, he just did what he wanted wrote what he wanted spent what he wanted and didn't care about what people thought of him. Of course, my life is way different than his but he was carefree and just was. I want to just be.
