The confident ask questions to learn what will connect. The insecure just keep talking with the hope something will stick.

What I understand about this concept of why is that it functions exactly the same way as parenting or exercise or any of these things we claim to invest in.

Multi-millionaires who pay half or less than half of the percentage of tax the rest of us pay justify their actions by saying they pay what the law requires.

We can rationalize anything and easily quit on ourselves. Leadership is refusing to quit on others.

Stories are our attempts to share our values & beliefs with the hopes that we may attract those who believe what we believe. This is the basis of forming a trusting relationship. Story telling, therefor, is only worthwhile when it tells what you stand for, not what you do.

We must all try to empathize before we criticize. Ask someone what's wrong before telling them they are wrong.
