Yeah, because you have to say, okay, there's something in here and I don't want to miss this opportunity.

Exactly, exactly.

Well, I don't know.

I mean, there's a lot of research that shows that even those small interactions during the day can be extremely generative and make you feel better.

And you never know where they're going to go.

We always have room for one more interesting person in our lives.

And in fact, I'm a big fan that sometimes you have to send your Rolodex to the dry cleaners.

You know, maybe there are some people who are there who are not fueling you in a way that feels good.

I think that if you go through life realizing that, of course, I'm not going to befriend every single person.

In fact, it's funny.

I was on a flight back from New York recently, and I was super tired.

And I had just a short conversation with the person next to me who was actually pretty eager to talk to me.

And I just thought, you know what?

I don't have the bandwidth right now.

I could have a very long conversation with the person, but I just didn't...

It wasn't in the cards.

And I don't think you have to do it all the time.

You just have to be aware that if when you do open the aperture, you never know what you're going to find.

Yeah, but you don't have to.

Right, right.
