Smart Women
I had lunch last weekend with a really smart woman. She knew her shit inside and out and tried to make it to as many events as she could. She also had a new job that she was proud and excited about.
What she really made known to me is that your time is valuable and if you’re doing work for someone, make sure that it is recognized in some way. Don’t let people walk all over you and make sure that if you have a problem with something or someone, you make it known. I mean, these are learning instances anyway, but they are important ones.
She ended our lunch with a follow-up text an hour later saying that it was great to get together. That was nice. It’s a small gesture that means so much and hardly anyone does. I’m in the midst of writing my own thank you emails this weekend, and I now realize how important little things like this are.
