 Empathy is the oil that keeps relationships running.
 According to Antonio Damasio in his book Descartes’ Error: emotions are not a luxury,
they are essential to rational thinking..”
 “….My success hinges entirely on the people I work with—the people who enlist
themselves to join me in my vision...” Simon Sinek

18. I am not me alone, I am a part of a whole. There is no goal I
can achieve alone. Empathy is the fuel that keeps
relationships running, do not attempt to run alone.
“The lesson I’m learning is that I’m useless by myself. My
success hinges entirely on the people I work with—the
people who enlist themselves to join me in my vision. And
it’s my responsibility to see that they’re working at their
best capacity.” Simon Sinek
