Priorities

Short story shorter: Fresno man rescues his entire family from an apartment fire, yawn.  Goes back in afterward to rescue slab of ribs from getting burned, HERO.

This guy truly know what’s up.  He has his priorities straight, obviously.

I don’t know who this guy is, other than the fact that his name is Robert Wright and he lives in Fresno, California.  But I think I love him.

The best part of this whole thing is that he basically cut a wrestling promo; he introduced himself, engaged himself to the camera, identified what he did, and what his intentions were.  Obviously vastly more talented than Bray Wyatt.

Bonus points for him brandishing his rescued slab of ribs the entire 90 second interview, as if it were a championship belt.  I mean, ribs are delicious, and his look pretty legit, so I guess it’s a matter of why the heck shouldn’t he?

Professionally, this is a fact that I try to downplay, because the very presence of ego is popularly believed to be the antithesis of teamwork, and teamwork is a concept that is extremely looked highly upon in the working world.

Yet we all do. Anyone who says they do not, is delusional and lying.

Now the size of said egos are up for debate, and are certainly on a case-by-case basis, but when the day is over, we all have them.
