A good slogan I just read
"Winners must have two things; definite goals and burning desire to achieve them."
I was tempted to reply with:
The contented person

I have had similar experience, but have found wu wei and yin yang are probably best left out of a competitive office's discourse. I think I know this winner/loser. Needless to say, I don't work there anymore having accomplished something like a paradigm shift in my employment.
ReplyDeleteI've encountered things like this as well, it always feels forced and awkward.

I agree, to define yourself as a "Winner" is definitely to define yourself as a "Loser".
