Stepping Out

I'm not fighting my Dark Triad any more. Forget making myself smaller so other people can look bigger. That's for chumps. I'm going to fill up as much space, and garner as much attention, as I can get. No more selling myself short. If I'm the one whose made a project go, I'm going to accept the credit. No deflecting, no humble self-deprecating. I'm owning my ability. Why bother down playing my successes? Who gives a shit if I violate organizational norms or ruffle a few feathers by standing up and saying that I'm the magic piece that made this project go? What do I gain by down playing my role? Nothing. 

Being humble is just another way to be passive.
