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.

☯ 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 2

1) Or fame or life,
Which do you hold more dear?
Or life or wealth,
To which would you adhere?
Keep life and lose those other things;
Keep them and lose your life:--which brings
Sorrow and pain more near?
