Message: [QUOTE="Shrmdougluvr, post: 1007825, member: 396"] Long should tone it down. The rah rah "I'm coming in to start" stuff is fine when you are being recruited, but once you set foot on campus, the talking needs to stop. I am not condoning bowing down at the feet of upper classmen (i know i didn't), but dues need to be paid. You show you are "gunning" for the top spot by working your ass off, being an enthusiastic teammate, being focused, and outperforming your teammates. If Long is doing those things, he doesnt need to say a word. Talk is cheap. That's what Long's takeaway should be from this. Put it in business terms. Some associate/entry level professional spends a week getting oriented at the firm, points to a shareholders office and says in his presence, and in the presence of his fellow partners and colleagues, "I'm gunning for that office!" Good chance lots of people are going to think that guys a dick. [/QUOTE]
