It's funny how you end up running into situations either at work or some wine tasting party or something where people start falling into these categories.<div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">"There are smart people and dumb people. There are people who have energy and people who are lazy. They exist in combinations. If you work with a smart person with energy, that's your best collaborator. If you work with a smart person that's lazy, well, that's a bit of a waste, but it does no harm. If you work with a dumb person who's lazy, that's sad but not problematic, because they will simply be ineffectual. But if you work with a dumb person with energy, therein lies the seed of disaster."</span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1076104104495484632-7438718293295096764?l=www.blog.chipotoole.com' alt='' /></div>Chiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02471368211164711230noreply@blogger.com0
