Let's think about true wealth.
Engulf yourself in the diversity that surrounds you. Embrace the cultural, ethnic, gender and sexual orientation differences that bring us new ways of thinking and innovation.
Be part of a high-functioning team; if there isn't one - create one.
Recognize that mistakes happen - sometimes for a reason, sometimes not. Learn and move on. Repeat.
Talent and intellect surrounds you each and every day. They are wasted unless you access them.
Give up being right all of the time. . . or even half of the time. Others are right, too. Recognizing the latter doesn't make you wrong.
The people that surround you have trainloads of gifts to give everyday. Be accepting.
We all have the ability to look at things from different viewpoints.
Common sense. Humor. Empathy.
The ability to strive for justice, fairness and equity.
Integrity.
Here's the thing. These wonderful things are not fully available to us unless we are genuinely and humbly grateful for this world in which we get to work. Embracing that gratitude, in turn, allows us to give these gifts to others. That gratitude and that ability to give back - that's wealth.
