A quote that has always stuck out to me: “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) Its unbelievably true how accurate this quote is, and how I have seen it reflected in my own conversations. It’s in the conversations/interactions that I discuss ideas where I feel the most alive, the most willing to take on the world and create change.
Yet this quote falls short in one area. Its not enough to just discuss these ideas, we need to execute. Ironically, it’s the events that take place and the people we meet that usually make that possible.
