Our Pets

our pets:
"beauty without vanity,
strength without insolence,
courage without ferocity,
and the virtues of man without his vices"

"The relationship trumps the issue."

"I got some great advice once: "The relationship trumps the issue." Like a lot of entrepreneurs, and especially social entrepreneurs, I get pretty fired up and attached to my own viewpoints. At times when I have disagreed with someone, when the stakes are high, I can take it personally and it's added distance between me and the person. Remembering that the relationship trumps the issue is key."
