Steve once attended a job
interview. It was in a company that he was dreaming for a while. The job
position was exactly what he was looking for.
During the interview, Steve said
that one of his major fears in life is not having enough time to achieve all of
your plans and dreams. Up to now, he doesn't know why he said that. It wasn't
even an answer to anything questioned. It was only Steve being Steve.
Based on this statement,
possibly, the interviewer asked if Steve wasn't just a dreamer, without any
achievements. Maybe he was suggesting that Steve was one of those guys who used
to write a "to do list" in a notebook, opening and reviewing the list
every day without any concrete goal.
So, Steve tried to enlighten his
idea saying that he had accomplished many of his plans during the year, and in
the years before, and before. It was really true, at least in Steve's mind,
indeed.
The interviewer's face wasn't the
best after that, but Steve kept confident about his selection for the job.
After a few days, Steve received
a call from the company saying that he wasn't selected. How is that?
He thought about what went wrong.
Probably because he was too honest
saying that one of his plans and dreams was to work for the company. Perhaps if
he had lied, as a bunch of candidates used to do, he would get there.
As far as I known him, he will stay stick to his guns,
without any changes.
