Good Company
Sometimes you realize you are in good company by looking at who you work with or spend time with. Today, I was put in some selective company by one of my friends that recently followed me on Twitter (@MatthewTWHuang).
I can't even imagine the impression I made on him to be on that prestigious list. I will try to find an explanation but I think you and I know it's because I'm that awesome. What do all these people have in common with me? Well respected, generally handsome, funny, and intelligent. Twitter should "Verify" me as soon as possible.
It's odd that this small event has made me feel so superb. This must be how athlete feels when they watch replays of their games and the commentators mention the stats that only a certain select players have achieved.
While most people think about others talking about them behind their backs is a negative thing, I think it can the highlight of your entire day too. Just the other day, someone told me that she heard other people complimenting on my work and congratulated me. It's so gratifying to hear that people are complimenting my work even outside my presence. You know you've done something well (whether if it's work or just being a great friend) when people talk about it to others when you're not there. It's just a bonus when it gets back to you!
