It's not helpful if we spend every day dreading tomorrow ~Jai
I'll take an earnest person over a hip person every day, because hip is short-term, earnest is long term.
Find the best in everybody, no matter how long you have to wait for them to show it
Time must be explicitly managed, like money.
Earnestness is highly underestimated. It comes from the core, while hip is trying to impress you on the surface.
Do not tell people how to live their lives. Just tell them stories and they will figure out how those stories apply to them.
