People Are What They and It's Irrelevant Anyway

Smart, energetic, rational, stupid, lazy, crazy. We describe people these ways sometimes. We say, "He is . . ." or "She is . . ." But none of these are full time jobs. Everybody does something smart and something stupid, daily. Everybody is energetic in some situations and lazy in others. Most people are rational most of the time and most of us are also a little crazy always. And we are other things as well. How would anyone know all the things we are if they haven't been around us our entire lives?

And, then again, what good does it do us to recruit the most intelligent, experienced, well trained person in the world if they would rather be someplace else, doing something else, and aren't going to contribute all that they have? Wouldn't it be better to have someone who has to stretch to do the job but who really wants to do it?

Because, in order to achieve our goals, we don't need for people to be something, we need for them to do something.
