Comment on HugQueen's profile

I have an observation and a comment. I think together, with a little glue, they give a little perspective.

the observation is a comparison:
In the real world, my personality is effectively 100 ft big and well received. Someone sees me, we talk, for the most part, they never forget me, and don't want to. Here, I have no idea how I'm perceived. no matter, though. I try hard.

Here (the comparison), you; other CV's, the LIT staff have that same personality. And you each get as much done as any 20 people. Or more.

The comment: You have to have lots of help. I know I do in the real world. Part of what I am outside of here is just my personality, but I have people who help me.

Now, the glue: we, those like me who are just in the community, and nothing special; we are what helps you. we have to be; there is no one else. I know this because in the real world, it is often the very people I am speaking to who help them remember me, and want to be remembered.

So, here's the perspective. We get out of you only what we give you, but if each of us gives a little; only what a person can do and no more, we will see it come back as, well, 100 times what we give you, because there's a bunch of us giving you each a little bit.

So, what do you think? Worth repeating? Something everyone in LIT needs to be reminded of now and again? Personally, I think so, but; but I've certainly been wrong before.

here then: I said it; use it as you will, if you will. If not; well, just ignore it. I'm okay with that, too.

:heart: Thank you for your comment.

I think you're hard to forget, so I'd say it's probably the same. At least for me anyways. You have a very distinct style of writing and replying. <3

Yes, we do get a lot done. I don't know about as much as 20 people, but I know we all try our hardest to be active, role-models in the community.

Absolutely, help is key in this role, if people don't help then there isn't a way for me to get everything done.

But you ARE special because without people like you there would be no community. We can't all be in the spotlight, but what really holds everything together IS you. Yes, you are right. :hug: It's often those types of people.

Very, very true. I can only do so much, the rest is up to everyone else. It's like when you chip in to pay for something, a little amount may not seem like much, but when you have 4-5 people it suddenly grows.

I think it's worth repeating or at least saying. :heart:

:hug: I might have to make a journal about this soon.

again, I encourage you to do with this as you wish. you can attribute it, or not; it should be something everyone knows and I could not bear to think of my ego getting in the way.
