Today’s topic: why do people have to park right next to me when I’m parked miles away from everyone else, and how is that act related to human nature.
Seriously though, if I’m parked way out in the boonies, there’s a reason for it, and my reason is I don’t want my car to get dinged by Mom’s carrying a kid and tons of groceries, kids on their cell phones, or any other careless idiot who doesn’t respect cars and other peoples’ property like they should.
Based on that title, I bet you were hoping for a post about ladies bottoms. Well sorry, go spend some time on Reddit if that’s what you’re looking for. Today I’m discussing the backsides of cars these days. Seriously, what’s with all of the new cars these days that look interesting, angry, unique or otherwise cool from the front but are ruined by the hideous, bulbous, and generally chunky backs? BMW, Cadillac, Lexus, Volkswagen, all the big names are just as guilty as one another.
Over the years I’ve read quite a few books, listened to many lectures, and just generally “learned” more than I care to learn about others views on leadership. So here’s mine:
First things first, you can’t learn how to be the leader you want to be just by reading a few books. A majority of leadership books I’ve read are just studies performed in controlled environments about the stories and abilities of a handful of folks who went from being average-joe-workers to CEOs.
There’s just nothing like it. Exhilaration like I’ve never experienced before, cutting and swerving to dodge trees and children (who are seemingly invincible little dare-devils; roped to their parents who are quite obviously scared shit-less). Tips flapping and shaking at the speed, jumping over lumpy patches and inconveniently placed rocks. Wishing you hadn’t spent the off-season drinking and eating so much, your fat ass is so out of shape; calves and thighs burning, howling in pain.
