What a dilemma

I grow up surrounded by smart friends...really smart friends...They really make me to become a competitive person...We compete healthily although they knew I won't pose much of a challenge to them. You are talking about perfect GPA students, students who finish homework before you blinked for the 20th time when you start doing your homework.

Always under constant pressure to perform, priortize among different things. Luckily, I have been given a lot of opportunities to fail. There are always something bailing me out when I am in deep shit. As my friend told me, everything happens for a reason.

Today, after watching The Apprentice, I spent 15 minutes analyzing if smart people can actually work well together. In The Apprentice, I just saw the total breakdown when everyone thinks he/she is smarter, can do better job...

I recalled my friends (we were scholars, roommates, classmates, and buddies) once told me it's just impossible for us to start a company together. It's because all of us are too smart to be controlled. If you argue that you dun need control in a company, you are wrong. Everyone wants to be the CEO, be the leader.

On the other hand, I always think of the brain power that my friends have. Can you imagine what kinda company you are building if you can get them to work with you? And I am not giving up in setting up a business with them. They know my character, who wants the control...Nobody wants to take a back seat.

Anyway, just a thought. Wanna join this scholarly wagon? Talk to me.
