I am certain that I will not get asked for any major leadership positions. I intend to stay out of the minor ones as well. I technically hold one leadership position, but in all honesty, I have “leader” in the title because of a magazine subscription. I had to put a title, and biggest geek was not going to look good. I don’t know if I could prove I’m the biggest, one of the heaviest, yes.

I still dream of being out in front, and catch myself trying to worm my way there. When all is said and done, I don’t truly want there. My ego thinks it would be good, but I know that I wouldn’t make it. If you are pursuing me to be a leader, you are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Have you ever thought about how much time we spend on wanting to be more important? How we struggle to get our names on other people’s tongues? Those desires are sometimes bolstered by noble ideas, we want to improve society (that’s the favorite one) or some other good thing. That doesn’t negate the selfishness, though.

I know that I have made a generalization, but most of the people who would get upset are the ones that my statement applies to. I’d like to be part of the group that would read that and check their attitude. Many of my noble causes have some selfish root.
