Speechless - mo khan

Yesterday I was completely speechless when I found out about the kind gesture performed by a kind friend. But right now I'm speechless again!

"If you guys are going to lead the way and are going to get some time in the spotlight you need to look independent, innovative and “business savvy” not just computer “geeks”; and I say this with the utmost respect. I want to, and am marketing you guys on a daily basis and you will see some stuff slowly coming in now but there is no reason why you guys can not promote yourselves and work on your image, as vain as it may seem."

The above statement was a comment I received in my inbox due to JP's post on Multiplying Leadership. I read this email over and over again, and in it I found some hurtful words. I'm not sure if the intent of the author was to shake me up and set me straight or what.

Honestly, I would prefer to let the business people take care of looking "business savvy", it doesn't interest me. My web site, and my blog is not a marketing ploy to help me sell a package product. It allows me to do the same thing that my journal and sketchbook due..

It allows me to express myself!

I always thought that people who sought after positions of authority usually weren't the type of people who should be in positions of authority. I shy away from such positions, because it's a huge responsibility when you think about potentially impacting other lives.

I am a geek, and I'm proud!
