There are two kinds of people in the world . . .
http://www.danpink.com/archives/2010/12/there-are-two-kinds-of-people-in-the-world

Daniel H. Pink
December 13th, 2010

"Those who make your life easier — and those who make it harder.

Those whose presence helps you perform better — and those whose presence makes you do worse.

Those concerned about doing the work — and those concerned about getting the credit.

Those who leave you feeling up — and those who leave you feeling down.

Those who simplify — and those who complicate.

Those who listen when others are talking — and those who wait when others are talking.

Those who give — and those who take.

Those who last — and those who fade.

Which are you?"

1. "Those with loaded guns,
and those who dig."

A good metaphor for these times. Or not.

3. I strive to be the first kind...
I don't always succeed, though...

Read my sigline; it stands for the best in me.

That's a great list.

7. I disagree, I think it is about taking and giving.
But who do you take from, and who do you give to.

just tonite, talking about how narcissists seem to be the ones to change the world -- for worse, but also for better (hitler / assange).
