I'd Rather Be Real than Great
March 31, 2005
Props to the Hughtrain for the point to Evelyn Rodriguez' blog, Crossroads Dispatches, specifically the post entitled What is Real?
Here's an excerpt - I'd rather be real than great. I have never gained
anything I truly wanted from a pure pursuit of greatness. I'm not
saying these two are mutually exclusive, but the focus can
lead one astray. Nothing kills relationships - personal and
professional - quicker than when I stop being real. It's costly in the
tangible cash realm too.
Enjoy the read. And, be sure to read Evelyn's bio here.
