To whomever might read this post,
Dear you, plural you, beautiful you, analytical you, visionary you, emotional you, whoever you are you are awesome. I think you should hear that more often, and I think you deserve a bit of appreciation every now and then. Even though it seemed that you decided you had all the answers, you realised there is much more to answers than your own opinion. I like the way you think about things, reflect on your opinion, make sure that your opinion doesn't become an absolute truth because that is where you will find a lot of people hurting each other over which truth is the most absolute (mostly none of them are).
An old Chinese friend of mine - called Kong Qiu - once said something along the line of: "The better person is distressed by the limitations of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognise the ability that he has". I guess what my friend was trying to say was: we all have limitations, make sure you get the best out of it and you do not intoxicate others with them. Ideally we want to be enlightened and enriched by new ways of thinking. new information and new questions. Because that is in my opinion the true meaning of life, and the true way to grow to become an even better individual.
Load of love,
Stefan
Love it Stefan! A nice way to capture our dynamic. I agree with you and Kong Qiu and think we should work on our strengths rather than being bogged down by our limitations. It would be interesting to do the strengths analysis again after a month of working together to see if we still display the strengths our peers thought we had!
