Thank you , I have had to remind people not to confuse kindness with weakness . We have run a business for 20 years with having our staff’s well being in the forefront. It has cost us more money to do that, but I can only imagine what it would have cost us if we didn’t .

It gives me great comfort that my conscientious protection of my investors, being kind / appreciating those around me and giving ruthless people the benefit of the doubt will help me win in the long run!

You are such an inspiration on so many levels and I am so honored to have your advice!

I 100% support your thesis. And there is some writing to support the notion that a “good heart” is not only the right thing but that ‘givers’ in Adam Grant’s book Give and Take do actually do end up better off than ‘takers’… onwards… ❤️ 🙂

I wish to be fair and kind. yet, most ppl tell you to be otherwise, and take advantage of ppl when the opportunity arises. Instead, it is always stronger than me to ask a person I am dealing with if she/he is happy with the outcome of a deal.
Thank you dearly for reassuring me that I am not crazy nor stupid.

I think it is important to be “Fair”, Kind and Loving which requires being respected without that you can’t be anything worth a damn.
