Sometimes, I'm too much...

When I step into any business situation that I can understand, I can't resist visualizing what I would change, modify, tinker or experiment with. You can put that on the account on my perfectionism or my unrelenting need to optimize everything I come across with. That's right, I can't be satisfied not just by pure mediocrity, but also by whatever isn't perfect and could easily be improved. That's my nature and I know that it still ruffles a lot of feathers today as I'm retired than years ago when I was active.

If I care for a business, for an industry or if I see a void that isn't filled, I immediately “connect the dots” and imagine or suggest whatever needs to be there. Is that bad? Probably from a political standpoint; folks don't want someone who brings change and screws-up the status-quo. This is probably why I could have gone much further in my careers had I been more muted, much slower and less vocal. But that's the way I am and I don't regret one single of my apparent foolish moves. Live is short, resources are scarce and what we need on this planet are more people willing to think and act boldly...
