This Is It

billwurtz.comin the 5+ years I worked for my ex-boss Dinesh, he constantly, casually-yet-intensely would ask me about my goals & desired outcomes
"what do you want to get out of this?"
"how will you measure your progress?"
"what's the next step?"
"what's the limiting factor?"
the problem when you're being "not-yourself" is not that you're "fake", it's that you're not present. you're not there. you're somewhere else, in your head, worrying about something that hasn't happened yet, you're anxiously ahead or behind the beat, rather than grooving with it
if you truly appreciate that comms is lossy and that misunderstanding is the default state then it becomes necessary to give people room to revise their imperfect lossy misunderstood statements
it becomes necessary to be patient and kind in order to understand anything or anyone
man's capacity for good makes markets possible; man's propensity for evil makes markets necessary.
