In conversation, we hold a compass to guide our discussions. Will we navigate through the vast expanse of ideas, explore the twists and turns of events, or stroll along the path of people?
As Eleanor Roosevelt cleverly noted, “Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events and small minds discuss people.”
What will captivate our conversations? Is it the magic of engaging ideas, the intrigue of unfolding events, or the warmth of connecting with remarkable individuals? Or is it simpler to take the lazy approach that requires little effort, ingenuity, and brilliance to talk of others?
Our conversation is a door to a world that we unlock and a window into the soul.
