Occupational hazard: I had always considered myself an empathetic person, but it has become harder for me to walk away from situations in which I think I could help. It’s great to let your passion drive you, but you need to find balance. I try to always remember: There’s a difference between listening to someone and really hearing them. I really try hard to hear. Sometimes it’s harder to do, but it’s more rewarding. The best advice I ever got: Be immune to criticism and responsive to feedback. It helped me break out of conformity. The worst : “Don’t rock the boat” It kept me under the hypnosis of social conditioning for long time.
