Is it someone like the forces?

The officer says I need 3 volunteers, you, you and you.

Or is it someone that sees a need, realises that although they quietly fill that need the only recognition they will get is the satisfaction of a job well done?

Maybe it's the person that pushes themselves forward?

I've been doing this for 12 to 30 years none of you lazy beggars do what I do maybe things will improve if you volunteer.

The latter of these always assume a few things.

1/ No-one deserves praise for volunteering like I do.

2/ No-one that doesn't talk about how much they've done whilst volunteering has ever volunteered.

3/ No-one deserves the praise for volunteering that a professional volunteer like me deserves. Let's face it I'm fantastic it's YOU that makes my work hard.

4/ My life is wonderful, so wonderful I can tell you how you don't understand what is going on even though you try your best to use common sense to tell me I'm wrong.


I prefer the person that quietly helps, even if it's in the background making a cup of tea, the tea will have been made hoping to improve circumstances.

No need for the boastful volunteer they usually have to be worked around, not with.
