1. The learning curve.

It's much easier to move up from the bottom. Once at the top, where's there to go. I admire the great. No need to change.

2. That's a good point.

But how many people are that great? In history, we can make a pretty good list. In our communities? Not so much.

I think both deserve respect. But I'm not so sure it's easy to move up from the bottom. A person who has no tools, no experience, maybe who doesn't seem that smart, who spends years stuck in immature patterns, and who starts to grow...I think that's really special.

And a person who is wise, and kind, and has a healthy life...doesn't that person have everything they need to do even better?

3. You Have

It's hard not to ignore anyone that has a valid opinion on a subject and can argue the point.

I listen...what more can I say?

4. The feeling is mutual.

I think that's beautiful, just like that.

7. People evolve through life.

Or at least they should. We should learn something new every day, and learn from that.
