Pushy people have an agenda, don’t they?
Pushy people want to get ahead, or be first, or take credit, or make others look bad.
Pushy people also think everyone else should know what’s going on and if you don’t, pushy people will find a way to make you uncomfortable.
Why is that?
(pause…)
Or maybe we (society) have it all wrong.
Maybe pushy people are a gift.
Maybe pushy people aren’t in it for the reasons we think they are.
Maybe we are ignorant and ineffective, for not recognizing what a pushy person brings to the table.
One thing for certain, I am sure of my uncertainty.
