"People are Like Paintings"
"Every painting I looked at was something I figured I could paint. We walked throughout many rooms in his house showcasing numerous paintings. Every painting appeared to be a random collage of colors and shapes. I couldn’t believe he had paid so much money for something that was so... simple, random, and unattractive."
...
"As he explained, I began to understand the story behind the painting and my appreciation grew for this piece. Knowing the story of the painting opened my heart to the art and helped me to overcome my hasty, ignorant judgment of the work as being simple, random, unattractive and something I could whip up in 30 minutes out in the garage."
...
"I knew I was busted. Yes, I judged people by how they appeared to me and didn’t bother taking the time to learn their story so I could understand why they are the way they are and, therefore, grow in empathy. I knew I needed to learn to judge less and empathize more: to care enough to learn a person’s story so I could empathize and extend compassion instead of criticism and condemnation."
David's Definition of Humility:
It’s not about you.
There are only two ways we can lead and live:
1. Spend others for my own benefit
2. Spend myself for the benefit of others
Great leaders recognize it is not about them.
They are meant to be spent for the benefit of those they lead. And together we can all become our best.
Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking about yourself less
