Evidence (2024-01-01): It is the second part that strikes me. Should esteem always include love, too? Isn't that too much to ask? [...] Esteem of yourself should have love because your ego will be languid and cold. Right? [...] I find it quite natural to also feel love for some of the people I respect, if what they express or do is something that I understand or feel somewhat akin to. For the others, it's just respect. I can't see how you can love (strangers) without understanding. That is why I think that Swift places an exceptionally high demand on us, mere mortals. It takes great understanding and wisdom to also love all those whom you have esteem for. Or, it could only be fulfilled by Christian love.

As with all Swift quotes, it’s important to remember that he was a satirist and sometimes his true meaning was the exact opposite of what is being said.

Love without esteem, or respect, is fragile and unpredictable, likely to change quickly.

To cultivate a strong and lasting connection, both love and esteem must coexist, fostering mutual admiration and affection.

Evidence (2020-09-21): Thomas Jefferson was perhaps one of the most important presidents of the United States. He helped elaborate upon the most important document in US history – The Declaration of Independence – not only for the rights of the US, but for human rights in general. He was also precise when separating what he could control from what he could not, which is the key tenet of Stoicism. By doing so, he changed the course of history and the profile of an entire country. [...] In a letter titled a "Decalogue of Canons for observation in practical life", Thomas Jefferson wrote to his friend, who wished to pass Jefferson’s wisdom down to his own son so that he may become an honorable man. This letter contained a list of advice in the form of ten rules, which strongly resemble the values of Stoicism. [...] This document, among other important documents, has been an upholder of human rights and has had an enormous importance worldwide. As we can see in the latest events of violence occuring around the world, we can see that Jefferson was really ahead of his time.

Evidence (2015-01-14): Over time this concept of attitude is everything has changed for me. While having a good attitude helps, it is not the end all be all. What do I mean? A person can have a good attitude, but if they are not equipped, educated and capable of doing the job, the attitude can only help so much. At some point they need to deliver. This is when I have the rude awakening. While attitude is important, we need to make sure we have a plan to help our people develop, because attitude can only go so far. While attitude is a key differentiator , I know that I have the responsibility to make sure people who have potential and the propensity to learn new things are given the support that can help them help the organization achieve its goal.
