I often talk about big ideas. Actually, I get immensely bored of talking about small ideas, unless they have a specific, relevant, tendentially measurable application to a big idea in which I am interested in.

This is me, take it or leave it. Don’t expect me to be interested in spending my time on small stuff. It’s not that I have anything against it — everything has its importance. But I don’t like to do what I don’t like to do. Does that sound strange?

If it sounds strange and you believe people should do what they don’t like, then let me tell you: I am not an absolutist and if you are, then we probably don’t have much interaction to do because I get absurdly annoyed with absolutist people.

I will agree with you if you tell me that we can’t do only what we love. But here’s the thing: I actually rarely do what I love! So there. If not doing what we love is the path to success, then I should already be very successful.

No, that’s not the question. The question is about the merits or the lack of them, about acting on megalomanic ideas.

I have a grand vision for the future which is composed of plenty more subvisions that complement each other.

And even if it involves me going through something which I certainly do not love which is being rejected most of the time because people simply don’t take me serious enough and even when they do, my attention deficit leads me astray, the truth is that I really only care to be taken serious by those few who will be able to really understand me and help me, which means, people who will be able to successfully deal with the least easy side of me, if you understand what I mean.

So, yes, call me megalomanic. Because I’m not going to change my ways anytime soon.
