But often, the people who are the best at what they do are also the ones that make it look the easiest, but it is because they have developed the skills in order to do so. Most skill development is out of sight, done in practice, not on the field of play. It is done in areas that do not get rewarded.

Never a truer word spoken, I fit this category. Another thing is people often say I don't look or portray that I'm stressed when quite often I am.

You'd be surprised how much conflict I've had at some work sites with people claiming I don't work or what I do is easy and anyone can do it. Mind you, most projects I've been on have won national, state and international awards and have achieved or work towards change. Successfully.

Yet people who just randomly create stuff to do are seen as "shows initiative" "able to lead" there is very little contribution to a new system developed and implemented or a new "order of folders in the archives" all it does is stress others out when they go looking for stuff.

I'm on a major project atm. I've spent first few weeks just chilling and waiting. I know already some people are thinking I don't work. But there is alot of planning and thinking and listening that needs to occur before you can start.
