Well, it's a corollary question deeply related to, you know, deep joy, which my deep joy is helping others find and fully express their deep joy. So understandably, my definition of success is the extent to which I've been able to help them understand they are all leading because leadership is worthless because it's just what you say. Anybody can say anything.

But leading is priceless because it's what you do all day, every day. And are you in the course of what you do all day, every day, consistent to your deep joy? That to me is success.

Well, the first thing I'd probably say because I couldn't restrain myself would be, are you out of your mind? You know what I'm saying? But when I was 11, I was on an all-star baseball team, Meadowbrook Little League, and ended up winning the city title, which in effect was the county title, the regional title at that time. It was a big deal.

We had two things that happened to us as a result of that. The first of which I thought was the best thing that could ever happen to a person in their life. which is they put us on the top of fire engines, sirens blazing, lights flashing, and drove us all around the town with people waving. And I thought, it just doesn't get any better than that. You know, just put me to sleep.

This is not going to get any better. Well, it turned out I was wrong because we had a banquet. And at the banquet, a guy named Carl Erskine. Carl was from Anderson, Indiana. And he had played for the Brooklyn Dodgers and was the World Series strikeout record holder until Sandy Kovacs broke it. And he said something I'll never, ever forget, which was, gentlemen, you can't do everything in life.

No one can. But he paused for a fact, and I can see him saying it and hear the tone in his voice. He said, but any of you can do anything you choose to do. And I never forgot that, you know, particularly when failure was looming, when, you know, it was like, okay, it can be done, you know. And that's why I say, you know, reach the lead.

curiosity, as you so correctly said, that ability to see, yeah, it can be done. You know, Mandela said, it's always impossible until it's done. The one great Mandela line of many is being resentful about failing or being resentful towards other, blaming failure on others. He said, resentment is like drinking poison and hoping it'll kill your enemies. Yeah, a shocker doesn't work, kills you.

My deep joy is helping others find their deep joy and fully express that. If there's anything I can do to be helpful in that regard, it would be an honor.
