One lesson to take from Tiger Woods is that its a good strategy to over optimize on a narrow set of skills and then find a competitive arena where slight differences in performance are disproportionately rewarded. Alot of hockey dads and ice skating 'stage moms' are doing that same thing. I suggest that in the long run, such a strategy is not a winning one.

Among those who play king of the hill, the one who makes it to the top finds the competition very fair and a legitimate rewarder of effort and training.

Dialup,

You sound like a very lonely person. We get your point, you don't like sports, you don't like competition, you don't like free enterprise, and likely don't like Tiger Woods. There is a cynical view of all things, and so be it.

Cynics are needed in this world, they give the rest of us good laughs. As the saying goes, life's a comedy for those who think, and a tragedy for those who feel.

I am truly sorry to learn your performance review went so poorly.

Do you think it was because of your social origins, or your lack of motivation?

You might want to try homesteading in Alaska. No exploitation in the bush! lol

I, like Mr. Bergeron, fear you are having us on. ;^)
