After you are taught, teach. After you receive, give.

From Shane Parish’s Brain Food weekly newsletter…
I loved this conversation with Pepsi’s former Chairman and CEO, Indra Nooyi.
You’ll learn exactly how to rise to the top. You’ll also learn why you might not want to.
Here’s a story that I’ve been thinking about ever since:
One night after a big promotion, she rushed home full of excitement to share the big news. But her mother barely looked up before saying, “the news can wait, I need you to go out and get milk.” When Indra returned with the milk, she was furious, saying loudly, “I’ve just become president of PepsiCo, and you couldn’t just stop and listen to my news?”
“Listen to me,” her mother replied. “You may be the president or whatever, but when you come home, you are a wife and a mother and a daughter. Nobody can take your place. So you leave that crown in the garage.”
As she put it, “You don’t get to be CEO by being the perfect Mom, the perfect wife. You don’t. You do the best you can. It’s hard to make those sacrifices.”

Incompetent incompetents
Yesterday’s meeting was gold.
Not for the team leader. She failed to run an excellent meeting.
What gold then?
My gold. My main client finally got to see, hear, and feel what i’ve been saying for years.
In summary, “Ya’ll have no idea how to think like it matters.”
Bonus: Greatness will elude you, until you understand WHY Disney does what it does. That won’t happen until you stop focusing on what Disney does and how Disney does it.

The only reason is good
Live like you might die very soon. Learn like you will never die. Teach, as if its the only reason you are here.
