“My whole life has been a series of trigger points for change and they weren’t all pleasant. It’s hard to pick out whether they illustrate resiliency, hope, self-efficacy or optimism. All four, I guess, because they are related. But it’s not all about me, anyway. My concern is if I’ve been able to help the world be just a little better place, a happier, more productive place through better communication. If I have, then everything that brought me to this point, good or bad, has been worth it.”
