I keep learning the same lessons time and time again. Each time I climb to the top I am pushed off the edge by an unseen force. Starting a job is much more of a humbling experience than I thought it was going to be. When I was in high-school it took 5 years before I ruled the school and now that I am working I am back in Grade 9, (Freshman year for you American Folk) and as important as glasses to a blind-man.
Waterloo may produce some of the best grads in the country or the world for that matter, but they all have one fatal flaw; an ego the size of a giant's testicle. We are a cocky bunch thinking we know all the details about everything but in reality we are trained monkeys who perform circus tricks on demand. Put us in a real job and we'll perform well but are secretly dismayed at out lowly positions. Why are we at the bottom of the totem pole, do they not know who I am?
Life is full of waiting. Waiting to drive, for love, to grow up and for full independence. And as we achieve each goal another two are added to the pile.
