I'm just going to get to the points of this class......what and where you have been doesn't count for shit. There are certain bits of information that can give an insight about the type of person that you are, but it doesn't mean we should just go by them alone.
Secondly, fairness is over-rated. We all deserve the best and if we don't feel we do then we will never get the best and will only have ourselves to blame for this. We have all been conditioned to be fair and equal....well this doesn't work in the real world. Those who focus on being fair will be the ones left behind, stuck in the same job forever. If you are the best at something do not be ashamed to admit it. This doesn't mean you are necessarily an ass, you just know what you are good at. You also want to be the best and considered that by others. If you don't think that about yourself to begin with then no one else will. All for now....later.

Nikki,
I have chosen to write a review this particular blog because I found it to be incredibly honest and exactly what we as leaders of the future need to keep in mind. This lecture given by Dr. Feinberg was probably one of the more eye opening ones for myself and it seems as though you and I understood the same points. Just because we have been somewhere or accomplished something great in our past, which does not mean that we are going to do the same thing in our future. We have to work to achieve our goals; they are not ever going to just happen because of what has happened in the past.
The other great point that you recognized about fairness being over-rated was well written. Like you said, in the real world, if you think that you deserve to be treated with fairness all of the time you will be left behind because in reality, who is the judge of what is fair and whom should get this special treatment. I really believe that it is our generations’ duty to pass this concept down to our teams, coworkers, and friends. The worlds’ perception that fairness is deserved is only going to be a crutch for our friends in the real world and will only be hurting them in the long run in life.
