Talk less do more. This weekend I learned a valuable lesson, the hard way. I've processed, extracted lessons and moved on. So I won't bother with the story. But the main lessons I've learned. 1. I like to work with the best. 2. The best are those who are curious, dedicated and strive for excellence. 3. Many people say they are that or would like to be. 4. I've made the mistake of taking them at their word. Lesson: pay attention to people's actions. Be very skeptical of words without action.
