Wisdom from across the bar...

Life, work and careers were the subject of the conversation I had with Dave and Leslie, an interesting couple I met at the bar of a local restaurant. Passionate about her career, Leslie summed up her philosophy of work and getting ahead in the quote below. I thought it was pretty interesting and made it this week quote. Enjoy!

"What's the point of getting where you want to go if your are not going to help others get where they want to go?"

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic…

"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, I can humiliate or horror, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated and a person is humanized or de-humanized. If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they could be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming."

J.W. Goethe
