A true story about what someone very wise said to me about 30 years ago and I've never forgot it.
It was a very wise old man who saw me getting upset because I couldn't understand how some people just couldn't do their job like me when I thought it was so easy to comprehend and get done in the right way the very first time, instead of doing it over and over.
He pulled me to the side and said "Dan, don't ever expect anybody to work like you, or to think like you, or to act like you because it won't ever happen and will just drive you crazy thinking that it will."
I've always kept that in the back of my mind.
