Embracing Conflict

Embracing Conflict

" ... in a very strange way, when I've mentioned that I box or I do jiu-jitsu or I do judo to strangers who don't, that makes some people uncomfortable, and some people will challenge you, and some people will make strange comments and say things like: I bet I could beat you. Because it's a fear and it's an insecurity in a lot of men's concepts of their identity, as opposed to someone who said: oh, I'm a professional golfer. No one would comment and even pretend to think that they could hit a ball further or more accurately than you could!

Sharing the art of tea

"When you find yourself in a situation like that, when you're suddenly bombarded with a lot of information that you heretofore haven't been exposed to, there's two really common responses. One is, like: run away, it's too overwhelming. And then the other response is, oh, this is actually really interesting, and there's a lot to explore: where should I start?"

Seeking new paths

"I think sometimes people stick to things that aren't working way too long without really trying to branch off... I don't know why we do that as humans, but it's good to remind yourself to always try different things if it's not working, and really evaluate how things are working. And I'd say it's important for people to kind of find their own way and to just kind of challenge what everybody tells them is the way to do it."
