position of power

I like being in the position of power. It makes me calmer and less confrontational. There's less need to prove my worth as I've walked the path that those under me walked.

With power comes responsibility and sacrifice. I no longer focuses on getting my stats up anymore and is often assigned the difficult tasks that others cannot handle. It feels good to be recongnized as “the problem solver” and not have to worry about my status anymore. What comes is a peaceful focused state of mind that allows me to take more time to improve.

Training people is a new challenge as each person has their unique qualities. It is frustrating sometimes because they cannot do the tasks as good as I can and I have to realize that they haven't worked for as long as I did. It's great to be in this position as I am no longer the one in the spotlight. As the person in the position of power it is easier to see what the person's qualities are as they are put into a stressful situation. There's no time to refine their actions, no time to lie, no time to bullshit. What comes out is the true essence of their being.

It also comes down to your life experience. The ability to detect bullshitting and truth. One of the general shadow I am trying to conquer right now is society's brain washing; telling us to try and see the good side of people. What is needed I find is the ability to see both the dark and light side in order to lead them correctly.

Still, I have my preference in pupil. What makes me happy is a person who is not afraid of a challenge and try out things compared to one who just looks through everything before doing one little thing and then wait for your approval.
