I KNOW! :whip:
Time to go watch her in some hardcore bondage scenes and pretend its punishment for liking such tripe!
This really rubs me the wrong way! |

"Smarts" don't really matter anyway. It's competence that matters, skill, what you can build or do for people. And I definitely don't have that. |

On another board I visit someone referred to the idea of "peon" jobs. You know, the sort where someone bosses you around a lot and you have little input when it comes to setting goals or even the method of accomplishing them. I suspect I will be working this sort of job my whole life, as I have no capacity for self-direction. When I have no external input, I just kind of go slack and stop doing much of anything. |
A lot of people are like this, its just you haven't found something you are really interested in.
Remember the king of the hill episode where luanne finds her joy in reading the pH levels of her pool? Who'da thunk that one!? |

I'm really not one for motivational adages, but I've always thought that the man who says he can and the man who says he can't are both right seemed to ring true above all the rest of them. |

I dunno, I don't think it's the same thing at all. In the health care field, whether an emergency or not...that type of thinking/decision making becomes automatic. I personally can't say I ever feel pressure in acute situations, your mind doesn't really have the time or space to think about that. It's more about assessing situations, focusing on the next step, ruling things out, etc. Seems to me if you like to think and solve problems, it's a good job for you. They *do* teach you how to act/respond in those situations.
Just a thought, at any rate. Seems like you're afraid to really challenge yourself. |

Knowing who to defer responsibility to is also a vital component in the work place. That's not to say you should avoid responsibility, but if you are part of an organization and a team, therefore it is important not to be personally overbearing for the good of everyone you work with. For example, and this is of course not my speaking from personal experience, but I think that members of a medical team do not have a responsibility to 'save lives'. That's just not the MO. They have a responsibility to try and improve the lives of the living to the best of their ability, but the pressure to be some sort of a hero would be crushing and, ironically, irresponsible as it would probably endanger far more lives than it preserves.
Pressure is often just a variable of exposure. The more comfortable you are with your job and how to handle unexpected situations, the better prepared you will be for them. This almost goes without saying, but it's definitely an important thing to keep in mind at all times.
What do you do for a living, if I may ask? |

| Welp, I don't even want to imagine where I'd be in life had I given up after I failed. And I did fail hard many times in a number of ways. Only your attitude/outlook can save you. Get it together man! |
