You live long enough, you meet all kinds of people. These people all have different personalities, some of which you get along with better than others.
I get along with most people, but one of most annoying has to be the person who tries to build their reputation on what they are going to do. Not on what they've done, mind you, but what they presumably will do in the future.
You know the kind. You see them around offices all of the time, especially in the marketing area. Dilbert has been exposing these people for years - and it works so well because they are jokes! (To be fair, I see them in the investing area a lot as well, mostly because they'd be ashamed of their past performance.)
Ideas mean nothing without execution. Words mean nothing without execution. If you want to take credit for ideas or words, you should consider being a full-time blogger, or maybe even a politician! Otherwise, go sit in the corner. I only want to be around people who actually get things done.
