Today, I did my usual monthly ritual.
A stipend here, a stipend there, stipends everywhere.
I was often lacking in understanding when I made demands as a youngin.
Looking back, I respect my parents even more for the sacrifices.
I am thankful for the privilege of paying it forward.
The most agreeable explanation to the listener wins.
Whoever understands the listener has their ear.
Understanding is evidenced by banter.
You cannot disagree with who makes you laugh.
When laughter starts to fade, leaders who pay attention know they are losing their teams.
