People differ. People also
interact. Life is about interacting in a tolerable and acceptable manner with those people that differ . All lives are different, all experiences vary,
all tastes prefer and change in accord with circumstance.
A successful person is one considered to
relate to and gain support from those people that do not closely resemble him. Politicians
attempt to cater to the simple, hard working man that few politicians have ever
associated with.
I find myself in a position of leadership
over a group of men with widely variant interests from my own. My goal is not
pleasant association but mastery and love through earned and proven decisions.
“You must be their leader, their
father, their mentor, even if you’re half their age. You must understand their
problems. You must keep them out of trouble; if they get in trouble, you must
be the one who goes to their rescue. That cultivation of human understanding
between you and your men is the one part that you must yet master, and you must
master it quickly.” ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower
One of the joys of life is discovery. By
accommodating the input of mentalities estranged from your own, expansion is
the only possibility. Whether that expanded world crashes off a cliff or
enriches its possessors is merely a risk of life.
