I refer those who attack your success, to a quote from George Lucas. "My success wasn't based on how I could push down ohters. It was based on how much I could push everybody up. And eventually their success was the same way. And in the process they pushed me up and I pushed them up and we still do that." The truth is, professional vents admire and respect you for helping to "push us up."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32734453.post-88462208658660383672007-02-21T06:45:00.000-08:002007-02-21T06:45:00.000-08:00There is always backstabbing no matter what the pr...There is always backstabbing no matter what the profession. Those who are not as good bad-talk those that are better. And the better ones bad-talk the newer ones trying to come up. Unless you are a teacher ... then the newer ones are the ones you help.<BR/>You, my dear Jay, are a teacher. And though you get talked about, you are still one of the best! Be proud, and wear a stab-proof vest!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32734453.post-30996649527014018422007-02-20T14:53:00.000-08:002007-02-20T14:53:00.000-08:00You will be fabulous and I'm sure you will have an...You will be fabulous and I'm sure you will have an opportunity to speak about TAO and all the hell at the hayes we put you through.<BR/><BR/>As far as all the back-biting goes, I heard this the other day:<BR/>"Mediocrity always attacks excellence." It's unfortunate but true. I prefer to celebrate the excellence in others - it's far more uplifting and exciting for everyone.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895236726976288823noreply@blogger.com
