Funny, isn't it?

Isn’t it funny …

When the other fellow takes a long time to do something, he’s slow.
But, when I take a long time to do something, I’m thorough.

When the other fellow doesn’t do it, he’s lazy.
But, when I don’t do it, I’m busy.

When the other fellow goes ahead and does something without being told, he’s overstepping his bounds.
But, when I go ahead and do something without being told, that’s initiative.

When the other fellow states his sides of a question strongly, he’s bullheaded.
But, when I state a side of a question strongly, I’m being firm.

When the other fellow overlooks a few rules of etiquette, he’s rude.
But, when I skip a few rules of etiquette, I’m original.

When the other fellow does something that pleases the boss, he’s polishing the brass.
But, when I do something that pleases the boss, that’s cooperation.

When the other fellow gets ahead, he sure had a lucky break.
But, when I manage to get ahead, man, hard work did it.

Funny, isn’t it . . . or is it?
