I was speaking with a friend a few days ago about how some people act like they are on a mission to achieve something while others act like they have arrived.
There might appear to be something admirable about people who appear to have arrived, but once in a while, we meet someone whose mannerisms leave a lot to be desired, yet they carry themselves with a swagger that reminds one of a buffoon rather than anything else.
My friend made a comment that is food for thought. 'We need to recalibrate our indices of success as we progress through life, from school to college to B-School. Or as we move from a small village to a town to a city to the world stage.
Just as the antics of a child can be cute at pre-school but cause for much eye-rolling in college, behaviour that might have been admirable in a small town might fall short of acceptable behaviour on the world stage.
