Now You Know Me

I can handle the chit-chat. Can do the Small talk. Shoot the breeze.

But honestly, I'm dying to cut the baloney and conquer a hill.

I'm not the guy who has running jokes or make golf outings more fun with my shenanigans. You won't redial my voice mail greetings to get a good laugh.

But I will look around at all of us standing together and say, "Holy crap. If we'd all put our talents together, we could ___________." And then I'll urge us to go after it.

Just saying.

So is there a hill you see that we need to charge?

If I remember that movie scene correctly, they all died too! ;-)

Definitely. In a conversation I find myself listening more than talking. Trying to find their purpose and motivation behind the moment. I actually have to make myself talk about casual stuff. I think my brain is always processing the purpose, the consequences and the rewards. Then how to do it even better tomorrow.

So I guess I know where you're coming from:)
