".....Brilliant, very brilliant, 'the silent years'.<br />"...a phase in their lives where they were obscure and non-desirable....the days when no one knew their names and people were not interested in knowing who they were..."<br />Pardon me but, I'll say brilliant yet again ('ve actually been to this blog but never read this particular article. Glad i did now).<br />These years...my dear is though people never knew they existed but, these bosses (the successful though) must have committed their time to learning the basis (1st principles) of their various professions. Oh yes, it must have been that period when their contemporaries landed those 'big paying jobs?', not as if they themselves weren't interested but, i guess they'd a GOAL, a VISION, it probably was difficult holding on but, apparently it paid off.<br />...just like you; me too in these my silent years, i would (according to one of my professors then) master a good technic, then, leave myself to inspiration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249101.post-84294413546557889742006-12-15T06:28:00.000-08:002006-12-15T06:28:00.000-08:00titi, i quite identify with your thought line on t...titi, i quite identify with your thought line on this issue. <br />i had a recent and extensive ponder on this silent years recently and it lead me to an extentive study on the cedars of lebanon, when you diligently and innovatively work towards your goals in life,growth might seems slow and you might have to wait for some time, but it will eventually bring forth a grand result.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249101.post-7823449714646389252006-12-06T03:31:00.000-08:002006-12-06T03:31:00.000-08:00Wow, this is very encouragingWow, this is very encouragingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249101.post-1164854298913647232006-11-29T18:38:00.000-08:002006-11-29T18:38:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249101.post-1164160985592913562006-11-21T18:03:00.000-08:002006-11-21T18:03:00.000-08:00Great post and interesting thoughts.

Prompted me to think about this too.<BR/><BR/>I am not sure that to be "desired or sought by many" or to "have the right amount of money to hold family and friends spellbound" or to "be dining with the high and mighty of the world" is what we should aim at in life though. Those are extrinsic goals to me. Intrinsic goals like building friendships & relationships, personal intellectual development, personal spiritual development, and helping others do these too are what really make us happy.<BR/><BR/>So I think in the silent years these young men and women who are now successful bosses were simply following these intrinsic goals that enabled them to deal with people better, have an intellect suited to dealing with complexity and above all the understanding to bring the best work out of future employees.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13539062417425067194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249101.post-1162733349331514422006-11-05T05:29:00.000-08:002006-11-05T05:29:00.000-08:00"However, I have learnt diverse lessons form each ..."However, I have learnt diverse lessons form each one of these bosses" is my fav part of your blog which I translate to seeing the best others have done and then using this to make your lot better. If only more people would join us. How high is high? Michelangelo wrote "The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it."
