Hi, you were evaluated and deemed the most capable to help them. I choose to think so. And they gave their best, with your guidance, to prove they were valuable. That's how we rise up and make progress. Congratulations.
And thank goodness you didn't kill anyone.
I was getting a team no matter what and had to be ready for it so I was...Looking back, it would have been easier with a different bunch of people but I doubt I would have learned as much as I did and got the same satisfaction from it. As it was, those fucken rejects pushed me to, and beyond, my limits and I'm grateful for it as I established new limits...then smashed through them also.
As a result, growth was expanded. You grew too. ;) It is the challenges that make us grow.
