Seth's Blog : Looking for validation

or perhaps, you're looking to improve. You can't do both at the same time. If it's perfect, you can't make it better. But if you don't make it better, you're getting no closer to what you set out to accomplish.

Looking for validation

or perhaps, you're looking to improve.

You can't do both at the same time.

If it's perfect, you can't make it better. But if you don't make it better, you're getting no closer to what you set out to accomplish.

Where’s the king of the ants?

Bad sorts (and the useful ones)

We sort people all the time. Society prefers easy, useless ones. Sorts like: Skin color. Gender. Disability status. Nationality. Religious background. Height.

While these are easy to do and the result of long, long traditions, they’re useless.

The alternatives? Kindness. Expertise. Attitude. Skill. Emotional intelligence. Honesty. Generous persistence. Willingness to take risks. Loyalty. Perceptivity. Attention span. Care. Self awareness…

It’s a daily battle, an uphill climb to intentionally ignore the bad sorts we were likely taught as kids. This might be the most important work we do today, and every day. The people we care about deserve it..
