Weekly Roundup: Starting & Finishing (Round 2)
January 25 - 29, 2021
Monday: Perhaps your marathon goal, having worked backwards from 26 miles on race day, begins with the small commitment to putting your shoes by the front door at 8:00am so they greet you when you come home from work at 5:00pm.
Tuesday: This is different than helping to get something in return. It’s not the same as strategic reciprocity. Scratching your back so you’ll get my itch is really leveraging (exploiting?) the innate desire to help in all of us for my own good.
Wednesday: Speed is a better measurement of technique than progress. In our forward march of changing the world (or our neighborhood), even the smallest progress should be highlighted and celebrated.
Thursday: When we graduate high school—if we leave it behind—we pick our critics . . . and we pick our cheerleaders. That is, not everyone gets the privilege to comment on the value we bring, the gifts we offer, the energy we invest. We choose.
Friday: Where you are and what you know must be held gently, with a humility that is at least greater than your assurance in your own capabilities to discover and defend the truth.
