“AS a young sales executive with marginal experience in business, I was at a dinner with some seasoned pros from whom I could have learned a lot. My feelings that I did not belong were quelled by my increasing alcohol intake. As the night wore on, I began to lecture the group on my imagined accomplishments in business.”
You had to be a big shot, didn’t you? All your friends were so knocked out You had to have the last word, last night You know what everything’s about. You had to have a white-hot spotlight.
— Billy Joel
Selfishness—self-centeredness! That we think is the root of our troubles.
