Managing individuals
is different
from managing a system.

Its easy to confuse
system
with infrastructure

To better understand,
imagine managing a garden
instead of managing a machine

Why talk about unpleasant things
when we dont have enough time
for pleasant things

is often an effective way
of numbing ourselves
from experiencing
then processing the unplesant emotions
which provides insight into what is really going on

With care
and compassion,
I looked at my child
wanting to fix
what may be broke.

Maybe his trousers were unbuckled.
Maybe his socks weren’t up.
Maybe his hairs aren’t combed.

Having realized empathy,
I now appreciate
the fact
that all they saw
was my critical face.

Earning money
because we think it means
“success”
is very different
from earning money
because we feel responsible
for someone to whom
the money
means support.

To be and individual
does not stop
at the soverignty
of the undividable
is to be not enough
it is in company
with others
that what we lack
is fulfilled

We say
we need to see ourselves
objectively.

Except
that’s impossible.

What we can do
is see ourselves
from an external
yet still subjective point of view.

So it is not a matter
of objective
vs
subjective.

It is we can empathize
with the point of view,
enough
for it to move us
to feel
as if
we understand.

Launch failure
can sometimes be
the birthplace of
a pivot.

If the goal post
of life
is death,
we
are guaranteed
achievement.

With achievement
guaranteed
how do you wish
to enjoy?

We often thank luck,
when it may be more than that:
grace.
