Lesson: Life is not fair.

If you think people who succeed are just smarter, more capable, etc., that is a giant misconception I will dissuade you of right now. People who succeed start out with better conditions, latch onto other lucky ones and kick the weakers ones off of the curb.

At next week's sales meeting, everyone will hear that Evelyn's 1st quarter totals will be so much lower than Stuart's. That's because her accounts are all small fries, whereas Stuart, bless his idiotic heart, has been smart enough to kiss up to me all year long and was given big clients. While Evelyn was frantically soothing her micro-managing clients on the phone, Stuart is with me at "sales conferences," getting wined and dined. Hah. It's about time she realized ability has nothing to do with success, it's not about trying harder, it's about trying smarter.
