When we are in groups, when we are surrounded by people who believe what we believe, trust emerges and our very survival and progress goes up.

Remember to connect with people now and then. In fact, pick up the phone, right now, and call a friend for no other reason than to say hi.

Leadership is like exercise. Do it everyday, the results take time but you will see them. It's the little things.

The strong bond of friendship is not always a balanced equation; friendship is not always about giving and taking in equal shares. Instead, friendship is grounded in a feeling that you know exactly who will be there for you when you need something, no matter what or when.

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.

More information is always better than less. When people know the reason things are happening, even if it's bad news, they can adjust their expectations and react accordingly. Keeping people in the dark only serves to stir negative emotions.

Work requires effort. Things we love to do feel effortless. Only do the things you love and you'll never have to work again.
