When I played sports, everything I did was for the betterment of the team. Even if I scored 3 goals or drove in the winning run, I couldn’t have done it without the help of my teammates.

I always wonder if it’s impossible for them to see anything they do as wrong. To quote 50…”You shouldn’t throw stones if you live in a glass house
And if you got a glass jaw, you should watch your mouth” Not sure if that’s totally relevant but I’ve been needing to quote a rapper all day :)

Yet, he refused to take any culpability in the overall broadcast when things didn’t go well. IT’s kind of the inverse of what you outlined here, but your question reminded me of his behavior nonetheless.

I have seen the movie and am on the second book – from where this quote is, I am guessing. I am not convinced that this is a children’s book though – or it is one of the very smart ones in which both children and grown ups can find meaning. Then again it may be only me – only people who have lived through totalitarian regimes can understand the Hunger Games existentially.

As to the production – absolutely vital. I managed to formulate my production (not saying what it is though) and by doing this I stopped wanting credit for little things. Having an idea of the whole production keeps you so focused!

You guys make me laugh. I only read all three books in the last month, I wanted to see what the fuss was about and it had been a while since I read any fiction. They were quick reads. Fun if you want a watered-down version of 1984 and any other dystopian novel (Year of the Flood, anyone?)

Amazing. That includes me, too. I think remembering not being indebted is a way of life. Embrace it.

I think I need to work less… I guess I”m with Well Heeled Blog, but slightly worse…

But re: credit, I used to self promote in the office quite a bit (still do too much, but I’m getting better). Then I switched to over-crediting others with big successes and it’s amazing how much MORE credit I got from “those whose credit matters” after that.

I think it’s very important to keep the big picture in mind so that you can see the overall progress you’ve made and take credit for that.

Is it blasphemy to admit that I haven’t seen the movie yet?
