Going First Gives You an Unfair Advantage in Life
<p>If there’s one thing that can change your life, it’s going freaking first.</p>
<p>Who the heck wants to do that though? At work I used to weasel my way out of anything. “Any volunteers to stay back late and help clients?”</p>
<p>I’d run for the elevator.</p>
<p>One evening our bank systems went down. Management forced us all to get on a call and gave us a sob story about how businesses couldn’t pay their employees. I didn’t give a flying you know what.</p>
<p>I was one of the only employees <strong><em>not</em></strong> to help out. It sounded smart.</p>
<p>Over time, though, I got passed over for opportunities. The issue was I didn’t understand the power of going first.</p>
<p>It’s rare an Instagram picture quote makes me fall down.</p>
