The work is more important than the reward.

I am always frustrated when I see situations that could have been handled simpler.

I am going to die someday and I know where I am going.

I cannot do my job unless I am fully open to whatever comes. You're almost naked emotionally.

I have empathy towards bullying. Not about punishing the bully but empowering the victim. We have a tendency to use the word "bully" and other words in the wrong situations, thus desensitizing and lessening the impact of the true situation.

The work is more important than the reward.

Not to say "trophies" aren't wonderful, but they should not be your driving force.
