bullshit in business

Sharpie · 05-04-2004

There is a whole lot of difference between blowing your own horn, about accomplishments - and embellishing or making up lies. I have always considered the first to be bragging & the latter bullshit. Maybe everyone definition of BS is not the same.

It is just too bad that 75% or more, of what everyone does everyday; is to create a favorable perception of them or thier product or services. It is just biz..... and I guess necessary.

But, did you realize how much of everyday (even in your personal life) is spent trying to impress or please OTHER people, and not what YOU really want to say or do? It comes out often in what you wear, how you fix your hair, the car you drive, insincere compliments (because it is expected) and the list goes on......

It is a whole lot less stressful, when you finally can come to the conclusion that in your personal life - some of those things just 'don't matter.... It is more important that you like yourself & other people like you for 'who you really are.
