Sublime

A good conversationalist is capable of leading people on a mutual expedition toward understanding.

communities function best and are most durable when they’re helping members to be more successful in some way in a connected and dynamic world.

Scott Heiferman, co-founder of Meetup, told us during a workshop, “people show up for the meetup but they come back for the people.”

A person is a point of view. Every person you meet is a creative artist who takes the events of life and, over time, creates a very personal way of seeing the world.

That is the role of wise people in our lives—to serve as model and inspiration. To bounce our ideas off and test our presumptions.
