The Man In the Glass

By Dale Wimbrow By Dale WBy Dale Wimbrow 1934

When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf

When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf

and the world makes you king for a day

Just go to the mirror and look at yourself

and see what that man has to say

For it isn't your Father ,Mother or Wife

For it isn't your Father, Mother or Wife

whose judgment upon you must pass

The fellows verdict that counts most in your life

is the one starring back from the glass

Some people might say your a straight shootin chum

Some people might say your a straight shootin chum

and call you a wonderful guy

but the man in the mirror says your only a bum

if you can't look him straight in the eye

He's the fellow to please never mind all the rest

He's the fellow to please never mind all the rest

for he's with you clear to the end

and you've passed your most dangerous test

if the man in the glass is your friend

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years

and get pats on your back as you pass

but your final reward will be heart ache and tears

if you've cheated the man in the glass..

Kid with the chip on the shoulder

A month after the trainees joined, I realized, a path is only so wide. People are constantly moving around, fighting for position and often the smart and diplomatic thing to do is to let a fellow teammate in. It became my character at the time. I felt secured and totally confident of how strong I was. I was still the kid playing with a chip on my shoulder. Overtime I understood that I would not win a race all on my own. I would need teammates and the goodwill and cooperation of my competitors too, although there was not much competition between us in the Business Development of GMR. People will have to want to run for me and with me.

I am now bored about the Trainees stuff...will stop this story and write something about the Present..
