I Think So Many People Are Reactive...

Unlike In School, In Life You Don't Have To Come Up With All The Right Answers. You Can Ask The People Around You For Help - Or Even Ask Them To Do The Things You Don't Do Well. In Other Words, There Is Almost No Reason Not To Succeed If You Take The Attitude Of 1) Total Flexibility - Good Answers Can Come From Anyone Or Anywhere (and In Fact, As I Have Mentioned, There Are Far More Good Answers 'out There' Than There Are In You) And 2) Total Accountability: Regardless Of Where The Good Answers Come From, It's Your Job To Find Them.

So I Learned That The People Who Make The Most Of The Process Of Encountering Reality, Especially The Painful Obstacles, Learn The Most And Get What They Want Faster Than People Who Do Not. ... In Short, I Learned That Being Totally Truthful, Especially About Mistakes And Weaknesses, Led To A Rapid Rate Of Improvement And Movement Toward What I Wanted.

With The Media, We Don't Know What's True, And We Don't Have Radical Transparency Because We're Seeing Everything Through Somebody Else's Eyes. There's No Other Industry That Has As Much Power And As Much Freedom And As Little Quality Control. I Can't Imagine How Anyone Could Not Think That's A Problem.

I'm Just Saying That If You Understand How The Economic Machine Works, It Just Works Like A Machine. There Are Cause-effect Relationships.

The Meaningful Work And The Meaningful Relationships Are, To Me, Comparable Rewards. I Think Being On A Mission To Do Something Great Is Great, And To Be On That Mission With People Who You Have Really Meaningful Relationships With Not Only Provides Both Types Of Rewards, But It's Mutually Supportive. Because You Can Have Tough Love, But There's Also The Love Part Of That In Terms Of The Caring For Each Other, And When You Have The Caring You Can Be Tougher On Each Other. Some People Describe It As An Intellectual Navy Seals.
