RE: Never Be a "Full-Time" Employee | Why You Should Keep Things From Your Boss
So true really annoys me when the first question we ask each other is 'what do you do for a living?' I dont want to know that, I want to know what you're passionate about, what your dreams are, and what makes you tick!
That's what I like too; I am never interested in what a person is doing for living. I am interested in their personality, their interests, their goals; I like people for who they are.
Glad to know your thoughts
@tonysayers33 :)
Big time! And it is so hard to get people to go there. I have been trying to make more effort to lead my conversations by example.
Here is a paraphrase of actual conversations I have had:
"So, what do you do?"
"Oh uh, I'm in corporate finance. So, like mergers and acquisitions. A little bit of bankruptcy sometimes."
"Hmmm, that's a good question."
I think it is so hard for so many of us because we have actually grown detached from our dreams and passions. That is a big piece of my story. Thanks for your great comment and for driving the conversation deeper!
I friggin' love this.
Me too.
