I've been involved in a lot of different orgnizations. Some I've joined at the beginning, others I've joined after they've already got off the ground. I've noticed that it doesn't matter at what point I join, after a couple of years I inevitably get the feeling that things aren't quite as good as they were when I started.
I have a feeling that this is not really based in reality. I think, as many have said, that it is just that new people continue to come on board. They have the same sophomoric attitude that I had, and make the same mistakes I did, but somehow I forgot about them.
So now I think I have a handle on where this feeling comes from. I take it as just a reminder that we have to be a little tolerant of newcomers, and that we have to lead them to the ideals of the group...nobody comes on board knowing what this is all about.
MY 2c
Eric.
