Insecure People

Insecure People

Insecure people (supervisors) at work can be such a pleasure, can’t they?

🙄

Have. Worked. With. A. Few. Of. These.

Eek.

7 tells of insecure people:

1. Status conscious
2. Need to be right
3. Talk more than listen
4. Quick to anger
5. Hide their warts
6. Put others down
7. Pull rank

The antidote to insecurity?

Vulnerability.

When you make yourself less, you become more.

3 Rules For A Career

3 Rules For A Career

Here are Charlie Munger’s 3 rules for a career.

If I could go back and give myself advice – if I could give any high school or college student career advice – it would be to think about these points deeply. (And read this.)

Think about them and what kind of a person you want to be.

What kind of life do you want?

What kind of headaches would you endure?

A serious review of these questions once a year might even save you a lot of heartache too.

And remember: It’s never too late to make a change.

So here they are:

1) Don’t sell anything you wouldn’t buy yourself;
2) Don’t work for anyone you don’t respect and admire; and
3) Work only with people you enjoy.
