Quotes Mentioned:"It's nice to say hello to a stranger and I'd say yes at work. You should work in the moment, work in the present, and I don't know what happened to you five minutes before we started or what's going to happen in the five minutes after we are finished. But I know that we have this moment in time together and that when managers show an interest in people, when they create a sense of being in on things, work gets done a lot more easily than it does, you know, tell me about the digit you missed.""Wisdom is always someone else's experience. There are a lot of people, I believe who are not goal directed, who fail to recognize as that the greatest purpose of life time is becoming the person you are. That is our greatest privilege.""As you make progress, as you develop your interests, then you become better, you become more knowledgeable, you have greater depth or breath in that field."
