Thanks Dave for this. I read this a few months ago when you first published it, and reread it again tonight. Both times hit close to home, but this time, I really wondered how many times I would need to “relearn” the lesson. Hard to say I’ll master it as I may need to be a lifelong student, but perhaps practice makes perfect?

It's hard to shake off! It takes time and discipline, but I'm so glad you're coming back to it. Keep at it!

Thank you so much for this piece. I came to this via LinkedIn. I admit I’ve gotten frustrated with friends who complain to me about their managers, only for them to have no answer when I ask them what they’re going to do about it. And as someone who was recently laid off, too much resonates, ha…!

Dave, thank you for sharing. BTW, the correct spelling in Korean for "Cham Ah" is 참아, not 차마.
