As parents
can sacrifice themselves
in hopes to provide
a better home for their children,
a Founder
can sacrifice themselves
in hopes to provide
a better workplace for their employees.

While seemingly virtuous,
sacrifice
can also be a breeding ground
for resentment.

There are situations
when we have no choice
but to sacrifice,
but in many cases
there are ways
to achieve win-win
be it with children
or employees
by sharing the burden
with them.

The challenge
lies in our willingness
to be vulnerably honest
enough
to be able to ask
for their support.

To know
right
and wrong
is to become aware
of the context
in which judge
right
or wrong.

When we work inside a company,
we think we know what is right
and what is wrong,
without awareness
that the company in which we work
makes our judgment
right or wrong.

We are then surprised
that when the context changes
what we once thorugh right
or wrong
is no longer.

There are days
when we move
forward.

There are also days
when we
retreat.

It can be easier to value
forward movement
than retreat.

The only thing preventing us
from valuing our retreat
is what comes of
the retreat.

New direction?

learning?
