It's what are you doing?

And you know what?

There's also an attitude that says, how dare somebody do better than I?

Wow.

I've always taken the view that I'm pleased when my colleagues move past me, that they're doing well.

Take joy in the progress of others.

You know, that's part of working on oneself and being, in a sense, more selfless, which from a hiring perspective is a great trait.

Yeah.

So I did have a mom who came to me because her daughter was, you know, doing just that.

I don't remember if it was a young adult, teenager.

Part of me wanted to say, take the damn phone out of her hands.

Enough of this already.

But we weren't going that way.

So I had suggested to her to ask her daughter, what do you think this person's life is really like?

Why do you think they are so compelled to

to post so many videos about themselves.

Is that something who has, uh, a good sense of their worth?

Is that something that they really need to do?

Where do you think this is coming from?

And I was encouraging her to use curiosity with her daughter to help her daughter in a sense, more self reflect.
