I dared to insert myself in a meeting today that I should have been invited to in the first place. I dared to prepare materials to share even though the other person should have sought them himself. I dared to smile when I was met with dismay at my presence. I dared to speak when I was not welcome. I dared to take the opportunity to further the message of our company. I dared to offer willing service to government visitors we need to accomplish our work. I dared to the benefit of our company. I dared something today...and I survived.
