1226: An Open Prayer - My Definition of Prayer
April 6, 2010How great is this? People have not even mandated into position yet, but speaking just as their political party, and they have already submitted two proposals for the next year.
In the first place, if something is passed by their administration, which they are not yet at all, it will be for implementation in the next year, so what is the hurry of trying to have it approved even before the year ends?
Sure it shows eagerness. In fact, it shows over-eagerness. One of these people in the past has already shown a lot of ambition, and has had what was supposed to be a simple, required project cancelled.
In another meeting where for some inexplicable meeting this person who did not hold any position was present, twice a supposed anecdote about a young teenager being able to rally tens of thousands of people was attempted to be relayed. Not that it was relevant to the matter at hand.
It was something that happened once; a quirk, otherwise there would have been more such stories.
For this person to believe that the same thing can be pulled off by similar young people who do not value consultation with elders and authority especially when they tell them why their ideas will not work based on several other factors such as budget and logistics, instead automatically labeling it as oppression, already shows how distorted their view of the world is in their favor.
Another thing is that this person again even though not yet in any position has already put forward to be part of several activities this year that are supposed to be for those who were mandated last year.
Ambition is fine, but too much ambition is a handicap when it makes you blind to all the other possibilities.
This is especially so when a level of compromise with the people that you have to interact with cannot even be reached, when it is always my way or the highway, and abuse of power of denying or rejecting activities is automatically decried, instead of trying to see it from the other side.
What else speaks of bad form? Trying to follow procedure, like having one of the said proposals signed by the immediate superior before it is passed on to the next person in authority.
But the immediate superior would not sign the proposal, having a lot of questions that need answered before doing so.
On another side note, what is it with these people passing papers several pages long and expecting it to be signed immediately that they hover around. They are impatient when they get around to processing things, but give them a month to work on something and they wait until the last minute to do so.
Anyway, so the immediate superior does not sign the letter that goes with the proposal. What is done afterwards, because they really want the proposal to move forward? They pass the proposal to the next person of authority, removing the letter that was supposed to be noted by the immediate superior.
Is that cutting corners or what? Does that speak well for the way their organization will be run in the near future?
Some people need to be taught a lesson, a harsh lesson, more than others.
