Being in the presence of expertise in multiple fields is a great place to be and one that should be respected and embraced if your destination is mastery. Regardless of what that interest might pertain to holds no relevance if the mindset is of self improvement and excellence. It can be anything and if your serious about what you have your sights on this needs to be remembered. One of the key necessities to all of this is mentors and examples of others.
For example, my new boss is a pretty cool guy and very intelligent. He is a straight up cat that tells it like it is, how it is, but shows nothing but respect. Now to me working and training under someone that is so full of confidence and puts so much faith in the talents he sees in people that they don't recognize, is something unique and tells me that I'm in a good place. Nothing is watered down here and as one of my personal goals to change up career and take on a difficult challenge is happening. I am in a huge sphere of awesomeness. He has a set standard for how he wants things done and maintained through out the company and he wants that followed. But he also wants his employees to put their own signature on it and evolve from this standard. He encourages being unique and to embrace the challenge, but be yourself and run with with those talents you don't even recognize yet. You don't see this much as some bosses are content with surrounding themselves with brown nosers and feel threatened by the unique or someone that thinks outside of the box. This is sad really and I don't last long in these environments as I just don't have time for it anymore. I guess that was a really long answer to, " Hows the new job going!?!?"
Canada Day is just around the corner, the most important demo of the year, and man do I have work to do. At this point our forms should be looking pretty damn good, I lost some valuable time here with work and trying to slice my finger off but that's life and I need to step up and get it done and done right. I missed two or three events already and the one that bothers me the most is missing the parade. I love jumping into the lion and freaking out the kids and bringing a smile to the old people....and maybe "accidentally" kicking the odd brat...lightly of course. But then we all scramble to some destination and pull off a demo, that's just cool stuff you never forget. It sounds like I missed out on some Dog team awesomeness and it sucks to be me, for what it matters guy's my apologies and thanks for all your hard work. I'll just have to make up for it when I show up to swing the axe of death around and hang with the dogs on this great countries birthday. See you at the Kwoon and we'll see you soon!
