  • Can one be dedicated to a fault? It's strange how I am willing to work beyond my limits for someone that works hard. The harder or more dedicated my coworker, supervisor, friend, brother, confidant, etc. is, the harder will I ensure that they succeed. Maybe it's my belief that if you do work hard, you should reap the rewards and benefits of that hard work. Or it could be from my feeling that together, we can achieve more than each of us could individually. I know the system is skewed, that there is an achievement gap. At the same time, I know that it can be fixed, but that it'll take some visionaries that won't quit to lead the struggle. The question now is, who is going to step forward?


    I recently read a biographical entry on Ernesto Guevara on Wikipedia. Most people only know him by his nickname and not for his life and what he did and accomplished. I consequently urge people to look him up, and add some definition to why people sport his image on their clothes and accessories. The entry was inspirational, to say the least. Guevara is an example that one person can make a difference. He stepped forward. There seems to be fewer and fewer stepping forward this day and age.


    Maybe it'll take some alien invasion for us as humans to come together and realize that we have more in common than different. Historically, only when a group of different people have a common enemy, do they find unity. Why can't we change that?
