"We have a deficit of wonder ... When I ask people questions now, they get on their computer: 'Gimme a few minutes and l’ll let you know.' And I’m, like, 'Nooooo!' I want them to wonder about it, man! I don’t want to know the answer. I just want them to wonder about it."

– Tom Waits

reflection:

• breeath in and out before you talk
• talk about context before you start, don't jump right in
• tell people why it matters
• relax, you’re not going to be fired, you're only 2 weeks in and you're doing a great job
• be confident in what you say, SOUND LIKE YOU OWN IT
• most people aren’t paying attention anyways, pretend you’re talking to just one person

tomorrow: understanding and moving slower
