Judging a book by it's cover

Day 7
I’m a pretty prideful guy. Ok, I’m really prideful. I have trouble asking for help or allowing other people to do something if I know I can do it better. I hate being told things twice and I hate being treated like I don’t know anything. I have lived that way for 21 years now and things seem to be going well today. Today I learned one of the oldest lessons in the world: You can’t judge a book by its cover. There is this guy at work who doesn’t look like much. He isn’t very fashionable, in fact he looks sloppy and I have never seen him doing work. During his time of “work” towards the end of the day, he decides along with the rest of the design team, to watch me work on Autocad. One by one as they all go back to their desks to resume their work, this guy, we’ll call him Goku (that’s for you warren), decides to show me a few tricks. He really doesn’t speak English and we have to resort to grunting and head nods. The things he is showing me are kinda helpful but I don’t really need them (PRIDE!). About 15 minutes of this happens and I’m watching the clock waiting til 5:55 so I can leave. He returns back to my desk and opens up a powerpoint presentation. I look at what he shows me and the first is a Beijing hotel. I look at it and it seems kinda cool but we moved onto the next one. Goku designed a hotel just like me, and to my surprise it got built, and it looked awesome. Part of me just wanted to leave, but the other wanted me to look and really absorb everything that he has designed. The design was sleek, clean and just really simply but beautiful. I have a new respect for Goku even though he doesn’t work.
