Management . . .

(from The First Tycoon; The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt by T.J. Stiles)
“. . . a superior who lacks real ability -or character-draws only scorn. In a quasi-military (or, more properly, quasi-naval) culture such as that of the merchant marine, a commander need not be sweet-tempered to be admired; rather he had to be skilled, knowledgeable, fair, and preferably tough. . .

Cut . . .

. . . the rug. . .


. . . and then, I learned to dance.  Not literally.  Well, yes literally.  Not that I am a good dancer or that I dance frequently.  But the figurative dancing came eventually. Throughout my middle and high school years, I remained the awkward, chubby and uncomfortable person that I was in elementary school with only slightly improved self-esteem and confidence.  Some social skills, if you will, were developed. I essentially chose my 'crowd', said very little, agreed with (and to) quite a lot, and in essence, slowly learned to 'dance'. . .

I know a man. . .

. . . whose name is Bill

With a very big plan
That required much skill

He planned well ahead
Made sure word got around
To all who're involved
But did all without sound
To the one that he loved
Cause he had to ensure
He would not
OUT be found

So for more than one year
Complex planning continued
All the details required
Every muscle and sinew

The loved ones invited
Vaccinations and sitting
Some expected some not
To another outwitting

But this man we call Bill
Had extraordinary ability
And he pulled the thing off
With uncanny agility

And a lesson is here
That we'd all well to learn
From investment required
And expected return

When you love someone dearly
The most difficult of feat
Can be easily accomplished
If you can just be discrete.
