A man recalls feeling underestimated his whole life until he sees a Walt Whitman quote on a wall: "be curious, not judgmental." He realizes the people who dismissed him never actually asked questions about him, like whether he'd played darts. Curiosity, not judgment, is what reveals who someone really is.
You know, Rupert, guys have underestimated me my entire life, and for years I never understood why. It used to really bother me.
And if you're the one who's underestimated, oh my gosh, is that an opportunity of strength?
Then one day I was driving my little boy to school and I saw this quote by Walt Whitman. It was painted on the wall there. It said, be curious, not judgmental. I like that. So I get back in my car and I'm driving to work, and all of a sudden it hits me. All them fellas that used to belittle me, not a single one of them were curious. And I realized that they're underestimating me. Who I was had nothing to do with it, because if they were curious, they would ask questions, you know, questions like, have you played a lot of darts, Ted?
