I’ve learned several valuable things to remember, things that I repeat to myself, and it stops the intricate wiring that lets me think about multiple topics at the same time. I lost a good friend as a co-worker today, and it pained me greatly. I did come out better in the end, which I always do.

Something I just learned today from a good friend is simple:
“Nothing else matters but the #1 reason”

I get caught up so many times in a list of 30 things that I have analyzed throughout the day, and while for some jobs it works out very well, it doesn’t bode good when you are trying to get a point across. Against my thinking, it seems, he has won at getting his point across.

For me on the other hand, I suffered a loss, which was him getting around to the second and third reason for quitting. I digress, that his reasoning makes the most sense, and I respect that. In the end, that #2 and #3 never saw the light of day because they were of no direct correlation to the resignation of his post.

In all my selfishness, I hoped that another hand would come up and say: “I see it too, so he’s not crazy”. I can see that to push that point was not to the benefit of the person in this case, who only wanted to exit gracefully off the boat, into the sea of where we live.
