Respect, but don’t be in awe

By James Newcomb | May 4, 2021

Everyone you encounter is worthy of your respect. Your craft is worthy of your respect.

But don’t be in awe of another person, nor your craft. By doing so, you make yourself unworthy of the person and/or whatever it is you’re doing.

Be respectful of everyone, but don’t allow yourself to be overly impressed with anyone either.

They put their pants on the same way you do.
