Nature Gave Us Pain As A Messaging

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.

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.

I Do Think People Need To Recognize That A Lot Of Journalists Want To Write A Story A Certain Way Because The Story Will Be Better Or The Portrayal Will Be Better, Or At Least Recognize That Whenever You're Looking At Something, You're Seeing It Through Somebody's Eyes Who May Actually Not Be The Person Who Is The Most Insightful.

I Don't Think There Is Such A Thing As The Perfect System.

Constantly Probe The People Who Report To You, And Encourage Them To Probe You.
