tolerance

It is easy to tolerate things that you don’t care.
It is however truely difficult to accept facts, view-points and acts that is difference than your believe, and happens to be important to you.

Being nice to people

“It’s easy to be nice to people you like, but being nice to people you hate, that is the skill”

- Dr. James Wilson from “House M.D.” Season 6, the tyrant.

time and duration

We cannot really talk about time, but we only duration. (adapted from Stevel Holl)

Question is not about whether I can be there on time, but more significant is how long it takes me to be there on time.

can’t work without trust

Why didn’t I foresee this and do something? becasue I avoided conflict and I easily gave up.
