Climb Another Mountain

Janice Koh’s very wise husband said to her, “We Have so many other mountains to climb. Why do we feel the need to keep going back to this one mountain?”

At #DellMentorConnect (thank you, Boss!) I introduced myself as someone who took useless degrees. Unlike the other ladies, I never used what I read in school. Why do I do it then? I’m bad at it. I don’t enjoy doing something mentally difficult. It is for me, climbing mental mountains.

But being at the summit – the view, the high. It’s a lot of effort and money spent for only a little joy that fades with the downward climb.

   Pick Me!

It was not enough that some colleagues said they really loved my idea. It was not enough that the beneficiary also agreed it was interesting.

I despised the word interesting. A horrid word that looks like a compliment. She is such an interesting person! (Too bad, she looks like that.)

Too many times, too many times.

It was neccessary that mine was picked.
