One of the best Facebook copy-paste
power statements said that there is no mausoleum named after a group. The
advice was that if you want to run fast enough, take off alone. It is true
because villages are named after people and all that ever was was an
individual’s idea before it came to be.
I have always fought against
the preachy quotes of collaboration, cooperation and group mentality. The
individual is likely to lose an identity – not for the better. When you
cooperate, you get swallowed. If a stream pours into a river, its identity ends
at the estuary. Remember that the river had a name.
Individuals make a group. It
is disastrous to promote individualism in a group. That is when cheap
murmurings get throned. You will hear them say she is a bragger, too commanding
and inconsiderate. The will say you have pride. They will remark how you look
down upon them. When a person disagrees with another or a group, he gets
autonomy. He gets audience which could not be necessarily huge. Ask political
runaways.
If a group leader sits to
wait for the day members will forward in their shares incase of a table banking
move, it would be equal to Turkana’s waiting for the government to save them
from drought fangs. The group leader got to make them attend meetings, demand
time keeping and forth. There are a people who must be followed and have things
done for them. They are the ones who sit down to write in their resumes ‘I am
zealous Team Player!”
You are at risk if you are
not an animal enough while in a group. There are members who will tear your
soul away and leave you rugged. They called you out and you ended up spending
all you had. They wanted to mess up things and you found self in trouble. When
you are a calm person, few of words, avoid groups. There could be a sociopath
waiting for you. A group is not a huge number…it could be your one and only
friend.
What is the need of having a
person proofread my paper before it is submitted for its intended purpose? If
so corrections shall be made and worthiness increased, there is a compromised
individuality that wants to thrive in company- in being assisted. If you cannot
do it best yourself, you are a failure if not a lazy.
Where you are weak, another
could be best in, a group sycophant would want to challenge me. That is what
old professors do my friend. They use young chaps who are good in this and that
to have their ways. That is what company owners do. They use men’s backs to
enrich themselves. No teamwork. When you are weak in this, don’t give an excuse
that you are better in that. Get out of that managerial seat and even if it is
for an hour, let the person who knows what you do not have a sit.
