Greetings Listers!
Do you hate it when people ride the coattails of others? I do! Or should I say, I did. After I started thinking about it, I realized that everyone is always saying life is all about the associations you create with others. So where do you draw the line between mooching and networking?
- Hillary Clinton didn’t sever ties with Bill (despite his ability to have sex without having “sex”).
- George W. Bush didn’t change his last name and burn all his birth certificates.
- Paris Hilton would have nothing if the Hilton Paris was never built.
- Kobe Bryant rode Shaq’s extra-long coattails to three NBA Championships.
- And Ben Affleck held on to Matt Damon’s hand as long as he possibly could.
So, as always, the real question is, how do you feel? Have you gotten where you are today by shoveling your own coal, digging your own ditches, and weeding your own garden? Or did your mom do your homework for you, your dad give you a summer job, joined a fraternity or sorority in college, and now work for your smarter, better-looking best-friend? Hey, I’m not ragging on it, if my best-friend from high school became a successful movie star in Hollywood you better believe I’d be out there swimming in his mansion’s pool and drinking his Bud Light. But just because your last name is Williams, Jones, Miller or Smith doesn’t mean you can the next anchor on NBC’s Nightly News, an adventurous archaeologist in a temple of doom, start your own beer brewing company, or flash your blonde hair and oversized bosoms and get a ring from a rich old oil tycoon.
