Someone once asked Napoleon how he decided where to assign soldiers. Napoleon’s reply was that it’s simple: soldiers are either smart or dumb, lazy or energetic. * The smart and energetic I make field commanders. They know what to do and can rally the troops to do it. * The smart and lazy I make generals. They also know what to do, but they’re not going to waste energy doing what doesn’t need to be done. * The dumb and lazy I make foot soldiers. The takeaway, is that only after you lose your shiny glasses are you ready to take on larger responsibilities. Don’t become jaded. Don’t carry around resentment - just get on with it - and you’ll Very much be on your way to career advancement
