On Mutual Respect

I treat everyone that I interact with as if they know something that I don’t. I take the same approach with everyone that I speak to regardless of their financial status, job, personal history or background. People are much more willing to listen to you if you demonstrate that you are willing to listen to them.

On Meaning

I’ve found that meaning can only be found by identifying the things that I know I should do but I’m too afraid to do…and then doing them. In fact, this approach has been so successful for me (both personally and professionally) that whenever I begin to fear some new obstacle I push that task to the top of my to-do list. It’s not that I have no fear. I find many things to be intimidiating. But I’ve found that meaning results when I tackle those things head on.
