You find yourself in violent insistence that the world is the way you wish it was, rather than the way it actually is.

In that case I am shaping the world around me.

Any company who maintains that their interviewers are always right is telegraphing that they treat their workforce as mindless cogs in a machine.

Every time I encounter a candidate who thinks differently than I do, I treat him or her as a potential source of inspiration. Occasionally I learn something, and occasionally they do.
