- Note: I’m storing up all that information.
2. My case is only as strong as my weakest argument.
- If I’ve got...

Examples

Shepherds will always do what they feel is bes...

Intro:
If you’re taking a break because you’re bored, you’re not going hard enough. Take a break because you can’t keep going.

Found: How often we operate with a total lack of intensity.
Thoughts:

Patience is an undervalued quality of leadership.
Three Views of Patience:
1. People & Processes take time to advance.
