Keith Ferrazzi on connecting with others as a way of life

vutran | June 28, 2020, 4:36 p.m.

“Balance can’t be bought or sold. It doesn’t need to be “implemented.” Balance is a mind-set, as individual and unique as our genetic code. Where you find joy, you find balance.

The important thing is to see connecting with others not just as another manipulative tool used toward achieving a goal but rather as a way of life”

― Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom
