I have a friend, named Amy who always looks out for herself. I can’t say that I always do that. Secretly, I see Amy as Elisabeth Bennet, in Pride and Prejudice set upon by the world and always meeting it with a smile. Only Amy never smiles her way through things she growls! If she and I were faced with the same situation she would fight and attack where I would worry about people’s feelings and making enemies and in the end probably just negotiate a fair solution.
Amy would negotiate so she had the lion’s share.
I have seen her time and time again in the 10 years now that I have known her that she always comes out on top, despite some horrible circumstances that came her way. Some very public issues, that could have ended a lesser person or through her into a social coma, or drive her back to her mother’s house, didn’t.
She just hunkered down and kept doing what she loves to do. Working out like a fiend and networking for her next gig, staying positive and active.
She told me today that it looks like she is going to land on her feet once again. I am constantly amazed at how she manages to keep everything going. She never gives up on herself. She doesn’t care about what people think and she always looks out for herself.
The most important lesson I take from her, is look out for yourself first and always. Do not screw people over but make sure you are always first.
