#Theweekthatwas @ 30/03/2025
A week of testing and being treated, taught me that:
When you truly listen, you hear so much
When you listen well, you hear what's said and what's not
When you have something truly valuable to share, be prepared to be mocked, scoffed at or even abused
Humility is associated with both elegance and strength
Patience doesn't necessarily mean passiveness
Small steps taken consistently are more rewarding and sustainable than one big jump
If we're not honest with ourselves, any growth we achieve will be superficial and probably not sustained
If we think we have it tough while we have food on our tables, a roof over our heads and no concern of being slaughtered in our sleep, we should think again
We can see that support can be bought; but credibility has to be earned
If a leader wants credibility, they need to be able to get their hands dirty from time to time
A life of "and" is much more fulfilling and balanced than a world of "or"
