<aside> 🌲 A list of timeless reminders about how l aim to be or just how life seems to work
To hold our tongues when everyone is gossiping, to smile without hostility at people and institutions, to compensate for the shortage of love in the world with more love in small, private matters; to be more faithful in our work, to show greater patience, to forgo the cheap revenge obtainable from mockery and criticism: all these are things we can do. - Herman Hesse
Work is love made visible. — Khalil Gibran
“Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself.” — Donald Miller
You can ruin any subject by asking the wrong questions, and you can make any subject bloom by asking the right ones; a good teacher shows you the difference. Don’t be the guy who thinks peanuts are disgusting because he doesn’t know how to take the shells off. — Adam Mastroianni

I make words, pictures, and tools to help myself and others make decisions. If I can find others who value this and persuade them (ie build trust that I can help), the economy has a place for me.
