Someone was giving advice to those who have been laid off to not fall in love with a company because there’s always that unpredictability.

I simply don’t agree. You ought to love the company you’re working for. You’re investing a significant amount of your week to it.

Would you hold back with your passion projects? Would you hold back with your significant other?

Rather than not love the company…get better at breakups and moving forward.

Best not to diminish the emotional impact you can have for the fact of impermanence.

“What’s a significant impact you’ve made?” will tell you more than “Send me your resume.”

Open-ended questions are the powerful ones.

How have you improved someone’s life?

What’s the biggest leap in experience you’ve made for yourself?

No, not the kind of content that one creates or that this blog is. Content as in a peaceful state of mind.

Becoming content isn’t about getting others to align with your idea or motivation (though it can help).

It’s more about understanding and accepting where everyone else is (in that order, specifically).

You may not need to do more convincing to become content in your work or life; it might just be more listening and empathizing.

Most of the time, if we were to make direct eye contact with the person we’re frustrated with, the fire fizzles out.

The same goes for most agitations and fears.

Stay Positive & Go Ahead, Make Eye Contact

Anything you’re amazed at can be broken down into the drips that got it to where it is today – you know, that spot that you’re in awe with right now.

Which means it’s quite obvious that you can create something that strikes the hearts of others, too.

Drip. By. Drip.

I’ve always been fascinated at how medicine that is prescribed is often enough to last beyond when the systems appear gone.

It’s an effective practice, not just medically, but with other projects, too.

After you think you’ve truly surprised and delighted someone, how can you continue a bit more?

After a purchase is complete, how do you continue adding value?
