Feeling That Love and Confidence

In Dilbert, Wally tries to coerce his boss into giving him a raise by threatening that he has a job offer from another company. You then see in Wally's thoughts, "..sit back and let the loving begin." But his boss is quietly speaking on the phone to security, "...whack him in the parking lot."

Ever have this type of feeling at your job? Scott Adams does a wonderful job of pointing out the truths and misbeliefs of the work place. What I suggest this means is that you can't simply 'expect' things to happen in life. Believing in this method will normally produce unexpected consequences.

Now I would say that the 'Wally' character has a great amount of confidence. But anyone that has followed the comic strip will know that Wally really hasn't done anything in his career to help others. It has always been about himself. So this isn't the type of confidence that I'm going to be talking about.

More to be said over the next day or so on confidence.
