You're missing it. this is not a one-man show. what's reinvigorating this company is two things: one, there's a lot of really talented people in this company who listened to the world tell them they were losers for a couple of years, and some of them were on the verge of starting to believe it themselves. but they're not losers. what they didn't have was a good set of coaches, a good plan. a good senior management team. but they have that now.

I love you present tense,” i whispered, and then put my hand on the middle of his chest and said, “it’s okay, gus. it’s okay. it is. it’s okay, you hear me?” i had—and have—absolutely no confidence that he could hear me. i leaned forward and kissed his cheek. “okay,” i said. “okay.

Every person passing through this life will unknowingly leave something and take something away. most of this “something” cannot be seen or heard or numbered or scientifically detected or counted. it’s what we leave in the minds of other people and what they leave in ours. memory. the census doesn’t count it. nothing counts without it.
