What is My Why?
"If you have a big enough WHY you'll always figure out the What and the How. If you don't have a BIG WHY, you will always use the What and the How as an excuse for not doing that thing you said you were going to do."
-Jason Nazor (CEO/Founder of DocStoc)
My WHY is I want to do things my way. I have come to realize that I value the ideas and concepts that others may have but at the end of the day I want to do it may way. Now my way may intersect or converge with someone else's, but when the dust settles I want it done my way. This is not to say that I don't work well with or get along with others (I believe most would say I have good interpersonal skills) however I'm not designed to work "for" others. It more or less irritates me to have someone (or group) tell me what I can or can't do, or how I can or can't do it. Also it irritates me to be the "someone" whom is telling people what they can or can't do. The way I view things is that we are all grown, and have goals we would like to obtain. If we have common goals I'm open to forming a mutually beneficial alliance/partnership/etc, so that all parties involved can/will prosper and no one feels cheated.
I am not a slave, nor am I an overseer, therefore I don't work on a plantation. I enjoy networking and working with others, I am not a fan of working for others. And let's not get things twisted, this doesn't mean I can't work on a regular "9 to 5" job that has a standard set of rules, regulations and a hierarchy, but what truly matters to me is the atmosphere and environment in which I am working. The core mentality of the organization & its employees. However I'm not going to go into deep detail with all that, I can write a book on that subject (possibly several). But that's my WHY, doing things my way, take it or leave it I guess.
