RE: Random Spiel, Finding a Role Model

OMG

I learned not to bother being the best in class if the objective was just to pass. You just need to intentionally claim your false answer to be right loudly and watch some Einstein prove you wrong, boom, you finally found the answers to your assignment easy. There's a good chance that you'll be surrounded by people who have a need to constantly prove themselves right so you setup situations that could make them shine and then copy their assignment as a win-win.

You just made me learn something about my own childhood. I was the self-conscious smart kid who thought saying the right answer out loud gave my life value.

THEY WERE PLAYING ME ALL ALONG! like a fiddle

boy good thing we grow up! thinking too long about childhood has got me feeling like an old man

It's still the same bait being thrown out in the corporate ladder where the boss tries to "make a mistake" and the intern fixes it for some points but the higher ups wouldn't hear about the find. It's those that feed on other people's need to prove themselves that are poised to be effective, not too tall to stick out your head too much and not to low to be at the bottom of the pecking order.
