Amen! My Cousin was and is like that and he realizes how bad it was to do. Another person who was like that was Trip Fontaine in The Virgin Suicides He had the world at his feet at 16 in 1975, he had girls swooning over him doing his homework assignments, bringing him brownies, etc but where did he end up, in a rehab center who still can't get over a classmate named Lux Lisbon.

I’d say let’s completely devalue art and hand it to technology. Nay, I’d say let’s devalue Mozart and Rembrandt as AI can replicate their creations.

Leaders whom Al Pacino described are too rare and few nowadays. They sell out their employees to protect their interest (whether it be job security, their name or face). Integrity exists in a person whose conscience is clear and whose actions promote unity instead of division. Having experienced the corporate world in over 25 years, I have not yet experienced this type leadership that’s full on with integrity as described here. It’s a hard and painful choice and many of us will need to bend over backwards to gain this bold courage to take it…and lead.
