Re: ADD and Lying

Hahahahaha…..Hans, had to laugh sorry. Yes we seem to have traveled similar roads in some ways. The ADD mind (to me) is a great tool. I love it and would not have it any other way….we seem to see the future with clarity ….and the best path to get there. We are fantastic at out of the box solutions…..we are quite often sharp witted and cleaver, and speak (right or wrong) in very direct terms. All that is great….but…….sadly…it is also very intimidating for many of the linear/compartmentalized people, or so my experience tells me. Isn’t that one of the pitfalls for us???

Sure Hans, to build on your CEO comment….. how many people in a large corporations do the President and Executive know by name, personally? I would guess, probably their ADD futurist, and maybe a few others…..but we are up there…..always. My god…this is so funny. I found that as I progressed through the company, my job description didn’t matter much…it actually didn’t ever say much, no matter what department I was hired into next. My function was always similar….figure out how to change the department or the corporation, it could be anything from process(s), to overall corporate business direction …..and…. how to implement it.

Hahahah, (I’m still giggling) your right….once a project was completed……they seemed to put me back in the closet until the next huge impossible problem came along. I know as I read this, it sounds egotistical, but, that was my experience, time, and time again. Being put in the closet usually meant I should look for another position, in another department before I became stale and lost value. That was the trick….maximizing or capitalizing on my present value and keep moving from success to success. Left to languish, I was a problem. Why…..well I could always see the broken bits no matter where I went….people don’t want to hear what they are doing or how they are running a branch is screwed up…..really badly. It is hard on their ego and intellect!! God I could go on but…my self indulgence must be held in check.

Except for this bit…..

My experience is these traits even extend socially. I make people laugh, often ( as many of us seem to do)…..just because I’ll say say things that everybody else was maybe thinking but….hmmmmm….thought maybe they should keep to themselves. It’s just I’ll verbalize it, no problem!!! My friends expect it from me. I have a great sense of humor but sometimes it’s over the top….tough shit!!! I don’t get stumped, I seem to be able to converse and respond without effort…..the gift of ADD. I really think it’s the best of options. I know….I know… some struggle and struggle hard…. I feel that here. That is why I visit so often and share as much as I can…maybe too much??? I can’t help but think if those in the struggle can find what ever key it is that will allow them to harness the high-horse power brain….the sky is the limit.

Naive maybe hmmm…. I don’t know…….an eternal optimist maybe….that I can live with.
