to work just as hard as i do. i certainly give my peers in recovery the benefit of the doubt, but those i work with, not so much. i have worked hard at a job that was way beyond my skill set, to get where i am today. i know that for a fact. my team mate just does not **seem** to have the desire to work hard to sharpen his skills, even though he already can do what i had to teach myself. i find myself in a constant state of frustration and simmering anger, and it sucks. the reading today is so spot on for this issue, that i think i will leave it at that and say good night.
i am beat tired after climbing Mt Elbert today : Rank: 1 of 53 , Elevation: 14,433 feet above sea level. with that in mind, i am going to brush my teeth and head on off to dreamland.

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 1

2) All things depend on it for their production, which it gives to
them, not one refusing obedience to it. When its work is accomplished,
it does not claim the name of having done it. It clothes all things
as with a garment, and makes no assumption of being their lord;--it
may be named in the smallest things. All things return (to their root
and disappear), and do not know that it is it which presides over
their doing so;--it may be named in the greatest things.
