…that nobody is.
Therefore, why do so many spend
so much time trying to convince us we are Special & Unique (S&U)
as if being S&U was the goal? And why do so many S&U folks pay
good money and massive amounts of time to read a book or sit in an audience
where somebody on stage is telling us how awesome we are — even when they don’t
know anything about us?
Are we that needy?
Look. Pay me the money. I’ll
get up on a stage and tell folks how to tell their ego to shut the heck up
and, instead of popping that short-term drug of choice (You are sooooo awesome!),
I will guide you on how to concentrate on good and solid business ideas…and how
to tweak those…or something practical that will contribute to the betterment of
their world around them.
The ex-husband said I’m very,
very good at telling folks’ egos to take a hike, but that’s a
very personal story and besides, I choose to think I was using my core
competencies to best advantage, right? Right?
But just hang on now. I know
you’re all eager to feel the pain of my metaphorical boot on your ego’s
backside, but don’t ask me for any details on my course of —Hmmmm…what
am I going to call this anti-S&U course? In any case, then you’ll
know how S&U I am, right?
And when you pay me money for my course, well, I’ll definitely
tell you how S&U you are, money-back guarantee on that, and then –
Darn it. There I am, right back
to that old feel-good junk…dang it. I’ll get back to you on this… Holy
cow! I just came up with a title for my course.
Teach Your Id to
Kick Your
Ego’s Butt (c) (TM)
THE
FINE PRINT: (c) (TM) 2016 All Rights
Reserved. No one may use this title or any derivative of it without permission
of the S&U person who thought it up and wrote it down. Requests for
licensing may be sent to the S&U person through all Social Media now known
or to be invented including, but not limited to, Linkedin contact portals and
personal website contact pages. This S&U course title may be mentioned in
news stories and other real journalistic reports without permission (though
only God knows where those publications are these days) and editorial/opinion
columns (though who can tell the difference these days between those and hard
news) whether online or in print, as long as the S&U originator’s name is
fully mentioned and spelled correctly, and must include a subscription to
each and every printed publication along with honest-to-goodness tear sheets
for printed matter sent to the S&U’s publicist and manager.
GUARANTEE
(BUT NO MONEY BACK): The S&U person who thought
up this title is available for paid speaking engagements and guarantees that
everyone who leaves will never again think they are S&U, but instead will
get busy making the world a better place.
WARNINGS: Anyone
who takes the above entitled course agrees to forever hold harmless the S&U
person who thought this up, and recognizes she is using the time-honored
discipline approach called Tuff Luv (c). Anyone who signs up for and/or attends
the course agrees that they are not as S&U as the person who is conducting
the course, and agrees that if their feelings get hurt whether publicly (by
volunteering to appear on stage in a dramatic reenactment of a scene or by raising
their hand and being called on to answer a question) or privately, they forever
have no recourse at law for slander, libel, or defamation of character as they
will know that these events will be filmed (videotaped) and photographed and
used online and in books as supplementary course material to be purchased
forever and ever on Earth and any other planet or asteroid or moon but
excluding stars and black holes as everybody knows nothing can exist there, but
as may become inhabitable by humans, humanoids, or other creatures now known or
to be discovered but who also need to have their ego kicked, and therefore
cannot claim ignorance of their likeness and/or story and/or name being used in
these fashions and manners by the S&U person who thought up this life-changing
course.
NOTICE: The
use of Tuff and Luv in their phonetic and capitalized forms, as well as the
more common Tough and Love which may, at the discretion of the S&U
person who thought of it, be used interchangeably at her discretion, have now
and forever been glommed onto by the S&U person who wrote this, and all the
above exclusions and permissions apply to them as to the originating title of
the course including Copyright and Trade Mark. Don’t like it? Come to one of
the S&U’s courses and she’ll tell you to suck it up and will kick your ego
to hell and back after, of course, her attorney has sent you a letter of
cease and desist with all the prerequisite and expensive but legally and
awesomely threatening verbiage that shall put the fear of Bejesus into anyone
who dares to do anything contrary to what this S&U person wants or needs.
After all, she has an ego, too, and because she is so S&U she reserves the
right not to have others kick her ego, though she will welcome those kicks as
long as appointments for such are made through her manager. Please do not
bother her publicist for this appointment as the publicist’s job duties do not
include appointment making.
Wow. I like it. Details soonish.
This is a picture of a
S&U person kicking her own ego and actually thinking and questioning her
own abilities, and then working on that stuff. See, she practices what she
preaches.
No hypocrisy there.
Just ask her ex-husband.
