It wouldn’t hurt you at
all …
… to laugh a little more
about yourself and your imperfections.
… to be a little more like
grass: bending with strong wind instead of tensing up and wasting energy in
your quest to desperately try and remain straight at all times.
… to take a decent portion
of your childhood curiosity and candor into adulthood. And put it to good use.
… to acknowledge the human
tendency toward self-deception and say it straight, as it is, to yourself, for
starters.
… to practice the power of
water: soft, yet at the same time capable of eroding rocks, with patience and
persistence.
… to realize that you are
always limited by your own experiences and your own language, no matter how hard
you work to understand a Bolivian business partner, a Croatian customer, or a Spanish
supplier.
… to spend much more time
on expressing gratitude to the many people around you, at work and at home.
… to provide your
expertise on a pro-bono basis to people and organizations. Much needed and very
rewarding.
