Sometimes we make things complicated when they're actually quite simple. This book made me realize how many lessons that I learned in school apply to work. I'll never forget my sixth-grade teacher, Mr. Schleyer. He named his children Rainbow and Love, so you can imagine how inspirational he was to me. He would have the class sit in a circle and share things that were bothering us.
For example, someone might've been mad at Billy because he didn't invite her to sit at his lunch table, or upset with Sally because she didn't pick him for her team. The lesson: People often aren't aware that they hurt your feelings; so, why not tell them and give them the opportunity to be better? That's how we grow.
Having a sense of belonging is so important, not just in school, but in life. Being surrounded by people who truly hear you and see you builds confidence. It's the same in business; we're stronger together. Fulghum said it well:"It is still true, no matter how old you are — when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.
