Individuality

the funny thing is that everywhere you turn and you hear people striving and fighting for individuality in their own little worlds. thats the irony of it all. we strive for one thing and are faced with another in our daily and practical lives. rather ironical if you ask me. "there is no I in team, we are a team, united we stand and divided we fall, all can accomplish more than a single person" are some of the many phrases that we hear continually on a daily basis but when it comes down to the actual time, its all about the I mentality. thats a shame. nobody wants to be a team player. everybody wants to be a leader, thats the problem the society faces on a continual basis, on a daily basis, on an every moment basis. my team member is eager and ever ready to jump on my back and get across the wall but when it comes time for them to help me, they leave me stranded. then we blame society that its their fault and why we are faced with most assholes around us that do not give us our due credit. its a shame. why do the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, why is it that the person with the best gpa will be picked immediately no matter what their skill level is and the person who has a low gpa not get picked at all, why is that a team member of a sports club will get picked faster if he is vocal or adamont about his or her position while the person who is the most complacement and with the most team spirit always left out. why do we strive to be what we aren't? why dont we look in our own little pockets and pick out our best qualities. does being street smart not have anything to do anymore? does it not affect who we are and how it has moulded each and every one of us. what a shame it is.... i guess its true that its the time for you to move ahead and dont wait up for anybody. everybody is in a hurry to get going that they dont stop and think or even pause to realize that they might actually be stepping on someone in the lower order to get ahead while causing them pain. is getting ahead and the freedom for individuality soo desired that it breaks all the barriers of the society and the norms and the values that have been ingrained in our puny little minds that its a concept and idea not even worth stopping on.... hmmmm... i wonder.... do i want to be an individual or do i want to play in the team? MBA teaches us team, culture teaches us individuality... what to choose...
