Maybe this is just some manipulation.

Maybe this is just a kid trying to get over.

Maybe whatever, whatever.

Then you had a couple people that took an interest enough to say, well, maybe not.

Maybe this is a real struggle, and how can I help?

And on both sides of those coins, I began to make the argument with everybody that, listen, at the end of the day, let's say you're right.

Let's just say you're right.

Let's say that the manipulator that you think they're trying to get over on you with whatever the situation is, right?

Let's say you're right.

Let's go to the what is the worst possible case scenario that can happen to that if they're actually getting over with you?

Well, that doesn't happen forever.

And maybe they get a grade they don't deserve and maybe they move on.

And but at some point, life catches up with us when we do those things.

But what if this struggle is real and you're the one who did not help them and it was enough to go to the other side of the equation, which let's be honest, you never know where that's going to go with someone, and you could have been the one that did that too.

And I just got to a point where I said, I've seen people impact him and us positively and negatively by being the one person that made a difference and took an interest.

And I want to make sure that all the interactions that I have, I'm fortunate enough in my professional life to interact with tons of people.

And man, what if somebody just needed me to be positive and smile at them that day?

Maybe that was the one thing that I was the one interaction in their day that changed the path for them that day that maybe led them to a different place.

But what if also, if I'm real with myself, what if I'm the one that was negative to them?

What if I'm the one that had a negative interaction?
