It’s single-handedly one of the most powerful things, to begin to trust someone, to share your dreams and goals, and your frustrations and livid anger. To have a mutual respect and desire to change the world. Our generation thrives so much on loose connections, Facebook friends, being quasi-anonymous, that making deep connections often seems like too much work.

But as it becomes easier to create yourself on the internet and tell whatever story you wish, being transparent is increasingly difficult. You as a blogger and who you are in real life may or may not always match up. [...] […] We’ve always wanted our leaders to be transparent.

An odd bit of advice, because our membership is made up of young professionals in Madison, and the ones that aren’t part of my organization, well, it’s my job to recruit them. That pretty much cuts out, oh, I don’t know, every good-looking young bachelor in the city. Every young, single, and eligible man in Madison is off-limits. It’s an impossible situation.

Sad would be if you'd fallen down the mountain in the second paragraph... ; ) I see what Torbjorn is getting at, but I don’t think it’s sad as much as it is contemplative.

Hm. I didn't mean it to be, but I can see what you're saying. I suppose I wrote it thinking of several opportunities that I have that have proved difficult to negotiate. I will try to be more positive in the next one. Thanks for your comment! @ Torbjorn - Is it sad? Hm. I didn’t mean it to be, but I can see what you’re saying.

One of the first things that I learned coming into my current company was that 'loyalty is priceless', I'm even drinking out of a company mug that says that on it. Work, and even relationships come at a price, to both sides - but loyalty is priceless - and it's quality and trust that keeps one coming back for more. Be cool.
