Simon Sinek and Suzy Welch debate pets and people. Welch treats everyone as a tile in her life's mosaic and swears by dogs for companionship. Sinek, a cat person, says dogs kill your weekends and his cat judges him better.
Do you have a life hack that you use employ to help yourself be more productive, more efficient at work or at home? Life hack that you can share with us.
Okay, here's the first one. The first one is consider every single person you meet a tile in the mosaic of your life. Judge no one. Every single person can teach you something you don't know. Every single person is different from you in a way that's going to make you richer emotionally and stop judging people and waiting for everybody to be perfect like you. Okay. You are. I am deeply flawed. So is everyone around me. I, I just love to know everybody and I consider them all a tile in the beautiful mosaic of my life. And I think it's a mindset change. Okay, that's my favorite one. It's just I see so many people be. Make their circles smaller and smaller and smaller, and I think their circles, you know, would be bigger and we should just make our circles but put our arms around more people. I think that's a hard lesson to learn. It's kind of, you know, everybody's got their dupes up, let your dupes down, and you don't have to like every single thing about a person.
And so I like that one as well. It's like making everyone a mentor, you know, it's like making sure you're learning from everybody.
That's great.
Oh, here's my other life hack.
Oh, yes.
Get a dog.
Get a dog. I completely disagree with this life hack.
I. I could not disagree with this, like, life hack more. I am a cat person and I do not want a dog. I love my cat. I'm a cat, dad. What a terrible life hack. No one should, no one should obey this life hack. It'll make your life inefficient. You won't be able to stay out on weekends.
That's true. It's true. Your dogs will ruin your life. I always say, constantly I say my dogs take my dogs, decrease my productivity by 80%. They do, but they're good and they bring joy and they're. And they actually teach us how to be human beings because they're non judgmental and they're filled with love and they're always happy. And I don't hold.
My cat is pretty judgy. I'm not gonna lie.
Your cat's judgy. And me, okay, I don't feel like a cat, but whatever. I mean, I don't hold it against you. Well, maybe I do that. You have a cat. Somebody has to own a cat. There's so many of them out there.
So you've never met my cat.
Go rescue a dog, okay?
