I think if more people took their turn at governance, they would have a little more tolerance for when government doesn't work that well. I just think participating, I don't think leadership is hard. It's just you should do it so you understand it.
I really built up this tolerance for being hyper focused on the work. I would have a friend playing video games next to me. Two guys would be doing homework next to me, one person might be talking to another friend, and I was able to a hundred percent dial in into the present moment, which I think is the key to a very long lasting work period.
I like talking with people and I like dealing, I like the art of the deal and negotiation, and I like taking a product and convincing somebody that it's something that would enhance their business or their life.
