Brilliant prompt, Jon.
You may be reading this and thinking "I always knew her vanity was endless, but this is inudstrial strength." Allow me to explain. No, there is too much. Allow me to sum up.
A few months ago, I was asked to present my thesis on Thick vs. Thin at the Annual Smart People Awards. It was quite the event, let me tell you. I had never seen diamond encrusted pocket protectors before. As I got up to present my thesis, an awed hush fell over the crowd. You could hear a pin drop, so intense was their focus.
"Good evening, fellow smart people. Tonight I would like to talk to you about thick versus thin.
If something is not thick, it is...thin.
Thank you, and good night. "
At first, silence; then the hall erupted. Everyone was on their feet, yelling and applauding. Old men had tears in their eyes and several women fainted. They insisted that I accept not one, but -three- Smart People Awards. It was all a bit embarrassing.
Especially since I was just there for the sushi.
You are amazing!!!

ReplyDeleteWhat does your blog title mean? (My intelligence doesn't extend so far as Latin)
It's "Leadership by Example", the way I think leadership should be. It's sorta like an unofficial motto. :)
