Sales is really not for me. I'm not much of a salesman, but maybe because I'm too honest. A good salesperson will pride themselves on being able to sell just about anything no matter how good it is or what it is. I'm more apt to talk a perspective customer out of buying something. But I have had my moments in sales so I guess I haven't been a complete failure at sales. I'd just rather not do it.
Security is another field in which I have no interest in doing myself. I like to feel secure, but I'd prefer someone else to provide that security. Sadly safety doesn't seem to be that much of an issue with many people these days. At least not to those in power unless it's keeping themselves secure.
Stage manager is more to my liking. This is a job I've done for periods in my life and I enjoyed doing it. But I like things related to show business whether in the spotlight or behind the scenes. I've been a showman, not in any huge way, but in a satisfactory way to appease my own interests. Yes, showman at heart is what I am.
Or am I just a silly fellow pursuing fantasies that at times I have achieved, but mostly dreaming too big to ever make it reality. Dreaming is fine, but it shouldn't interfere with the real every day life. I suppose I've created balance in my life. But I'm still a silly fellow--some might say.
Are you adept at selling? Did you have show business dreams at any time of your life? Do you think your life pursuits have been silly or have you accomplished just as much as you ever hoped and dreamed?
