Inspiration left on the table

Today was a bit of a sad day....nothing tragic happened, so you can breathe now... However, it was just a day that seemed to prove to me once again, that great inspiration can get left out on the table.

I have grown to see more and more in our city, region, country and world, that far too often the "best qualified" applicant is not chosen for jobs that are suited to them. Meeting applicables on paper is one thing, but when you leave the inspiration of somebody who is deeply passionate for what they do, on the table; you are missing out.

Is is better to be the status quo or the new thinker? You'll get lots of differing opinions on this. I feel that oft times the new thinkers of my generation(age) are dismissed, because we don't have the experience, or knowledge, etc. I disagree. I think having a deep passion for what you are doing, is a HUGE factor in job success and in making a difference..

We may not always meet the "check marks" set out for the job, but some times you need to take a step back, listen to those who are speaking with passion, give them an opportunity to change the world too.

Change in life comes from those who desire it, who strive for it, who dream it and act it. Let's stop thinking in stale tones, and let's take the inspiration that others provide, and use it to mvoe forward, making the world a far more dynamic and energized place...

There's your rant for a rainy day!!!!

On a happier note, my bad back of 6 months is on the mend, I CAN STAND UP AGAIN!!!... more on that later.
