Burning Bridges

“We’ll burn that bridge before we get to it!” That’s a favorite quote from a former colleague of mine that always made me smile. Another of his favorites was “What’s your hurry? Here’s your hat!”

This morning I came across this highlight from the book Wild Problems by Russ Roberts. Seems like a good one to end the month of May!

Quote from the book 'Wild Problems' by Russ Roberts discussing decision-making and experiences that affect personal values and emotions.

My Conversational Brilliance

I love this reminder from Russ Roberts in his book Wild Problems:

Instead of savoring your conversational brilliance, savor the experience of interacting with another human being. See what happens without expectation during that encounter and without a plan to steer it in particular directions. Give your conversational partner your fullest attention without thinking of what you’re going to say next.

Now if only I could remember it’s not about my conversational brilliance!
