Back up, now: sense of self to the fore in careers and life

A month or two ago, I contrived to back my car replete with reversing camera into a vehicle that shouldn’t have been parked where it was.

Quite right too. I deserve no accolades for doing the decent and correct thing. Shame on me for momentarily calculating the odds of getting away with it.This weekend, the car parked in front of me returned the favour with a cheeky tow bar through my radiator grille. The driver in this case preferred the flight option. I am pretty sure the perpetrator was driving a Range Rover.

We are increasingly encouraged in careers to follow our passion and to focus on our goals. We are increasingly subjected to performance evaluations where we are encouraged to focus on and exaggerate our personal contributions. We are increasingly hearing about “personal truths” – which are held to be incontrovertible and preferable to those unfashionable universal truths.

Sure, humans have always exhibited selfish tendencies. For instance, if we go back to 1980, the term NIMBY “not in my back yard” first appeared in a newspaper. Perhaps that was an early sign of what was to come in the 1980s, the decade that I think has sowed the seeds of much of this behaviour.

Social contribution ? Seriously ? You've fallen for the hook line and the rest

'Politicization of HCQ is an ongoing tragedy. HCQWorks best when given early in COVID19. Hospitalization can be avoided.. HCQ found by numerous studies to reduce mortality, severity of symptoms & length of hosp stays.'—Dr McCullough MD MPH, Baylor Univ

Hero Dr Li-Meng Yan: Why none of the Chinese communist party gets the virus? Coz they've been using Hydroxychloroquine since dec 2019 n controlled MSM and WHO to lie to the world saying HCQ is no use at all. Crime against humanity! HCQW0RKS

Negative effects that can be related to C-19 and working from home are yet to be seen. As a rule, human is a social being and not a hermit. This sudden change will, of course, have consequences.

Help !The fascist government in control in Melbourne has done more devastation than the virus people out of work businesses closed. Children won’t have Christmas DanielAndrewsMP will not be brought to justice unless ScottMorrisonMP helps!

Dead US political activist posts tweets from ‘the grave’The Twitter account of a recently deceased US political activist who died of COVID-19 has come back to life to criticise recently announced vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Ridiculous! Kinda working in the same way as Biden’s Twitter account then!..😂 Well he did die from what he declared was not real, a fake scam his ghost doesn't consider himself dead. If so it would force him to accept the reality, the truth, most devastating of them all - admit his denial was just delusional thinking. So technically speaking he isn't dead.
