Many don't know this but this is my brother! We met at ORU and clicked ever since. We've kept up over the years and lots has changed. It's always amazing when you are able to get back together and sit down across the table from one another and talk like it was during the college years without skipping a beat... The open, genuine and transparent conversations that occur because you know there's trust, respect, understanding and most of all, love. No smoke and mirrors, no hidden agendas, no judgement, no manipulation tactics... Few notes from our talk: - in business: the difference between being viewed as subject to subject vs subject to object - when you realize the powers that be view you as only valuable as long as you're providing for them as a cog in the machine but the moment that stops true intentions come forth. - You're an object not a person. Dehumanizing. - When people do something out of the goodness of their heart (seemingly), only for you to discover their good deeds were more about them and their bottom line than genuinely helping you. - how do you know? When they attempt to hold over your head what they did for you. - Meaning: since I did for you, you owe me. - Conditional relationship vs unconditional - since we did _______ now we expect _____ ( they got their hooks in you) What am I leaving out? What kind of treatment have you experienced before? Maybe you witnessed this involving others, please share. Can you relate to any of this? How so?
