You’d have thought , I would have realised by now , what with all my own personal dealings and goings on - that “the pen is mightier than the sword” , but me being me - I can’t help but have very strong tendencies towards the latter , as my own personal ethos is a metaphorical –
…………live by the sword ……..die by the sword ……………..
I do realise this is an very outmoded way of thinking , but I suppose in a modern context , it is being wholly accountable for your actions, and realising - if you create waves , be prepared for a f**king big storm …………………………..
I’ve been told I have a very , very intimidating physical presence, which I have been errrr ……..possibly ……… known to use on occasions to my own advantage , but only towards the bullies and cowards of this world :) , hence I usually get interviewed by three managers and a supervisor at a time - no exaggeration.
To be honest this doesn’t really bother me , as my own imagined threat aside , I can hold them off on a verbal basis – no problem , and in the real world , the sheer amount of managers present , could be classed as intimidation , but again its all part of the game , and when the music stops , I’ll have a seat – guaranteed :)
I think I’ve come to the firm conclusion that -
Pen or indeed sword are irrelevant - the intelligence that wields - is the key .
Can I be a pretentious - smartass and write – Skullplait 19.3.09 - under my
quote , or maybe not :)
Proper Quote of the day –
“You have enemies …..good ….. it means you have stood up for yourself “ - WSC.
I always think its fine quoting this stuff , but actually being able to do it in real life , is another thing entirely ……………..and personally I’ve got a queue – around the block :)
