A little tiny flick and then a flash and then a whole universe, this huge universe.

And people don't take themselves too seriously.

These are people who have, on the one hand, enormous amount of self-confidence, enormous amount of self-confidence that a leader has to have.

At the same time, even though it's an opposite trait, don't overemphasize to themselves how important they are.

because we're not that important in the end.

So they have humbleness.

And so these people have the qualities.

These three people are great leaders.

They have the qualities that I've just been articulating.

They really embody them.

They don't have to be tutored and mentored and get a coach to get them to be more honest, to get them to be more collaborative and get them to be harder working and so forth.

What I'd like to figure out more is something that I've figured out a lot, but haven't gotten to the end zone yet, which is how do I motivate and deal with people who aren't thinking clearly, who are victims of their own faulty way of thinking, of their biases, their prejudices, their cognitive distortions,

their schema in life, the prison that they have to interpret all the things that are happening in life.

And sometimes you see people who have some significant weaknesses in the way they're thinking.

And I would really like to figure out a way to better communicate with those people, to better mentor those people, coach those people, to just unthink their stinking thinking, as they say.

That's something I would like to really get better at.

I'm not bad at it, actually.

I'm good at it.

I'm good at identifying that.

I'm good at being empathetic and helping people, but I'm not proficient at it.
