You need to become aware of the fact that your first instinct is to have an emotional reaction. Then you need to let it go.” I love this line. It's so Buddhist :) Isn't it amazing that we don't have to walk on people and scratch and claw for every ounce of traction! This is the kind of business person I wanted to be my whole life.

I just try to remember, their reaction is not about me -- it's all about them. If I'm doing my job and giving 110% (which I do), then how can it be about me? It can't. Lifting people up is not so hard. Being lifted up, well that's another conversation. Every so often I get a great comment from someone on twitter - and I have to remember, the whole world is watching us. It's nice to be noticed. I'ved learned to say "thank you" - and that's enough! In other words - I no longer say things like "oh that was my partners idea, or I really didn't do much". @debworks Try not to take things personal — now there’s a challenge!
