The Crucial Skill Every Professional Needs: It's Not What You Think

[@WewCode]

I really agree with your insight. People are very fragile, even the strong people at work. Sometimes I see my manager is stressed and ill try to compliment him or even a coworker if I see that they are a little restless . Im not sure if it ever really does anything but its worth a try.

It's a fast paced life, people are sitting at home too much, lack of exercise, human interaction, etc. It's so many things that many of us affected daily. All of this, in very small increments, but accumulative, creates these feelings. I believe that we have detached ourselves from each other, while in reality, we wouldn't exist as a civilization if haven't been sticking together. Sticking together either through a concept of a family, tribe, village, you name it. Anyway, keep lifting people up, and keep saying nice things. It costs nothing, and it will for sure affect people in a good way. Cheers :)

Hahahaha, hey buddy! Thanks for commenting man :). See you tomorrow in a stream!

I work mostly remotely so had many intercases where toxic feelings were shared between, but then when I go and meet the same guys in office in real life I just see that they are normal kind people at the end of the day like me. Thanks for the video! Keep going!

As we discussed many times in the stream, and some other videos, where I parrot the same stuff, nothing beats humans sitting together. You remove bunch of confusion, misunderstandings, etc. Because we feel each other's energies, emotions, etc. That is why so many people are anxious today, what else can one expect by sitting home in total isolation? So for sure Leo, go and sit with people, it's healthy in every possible way. From waking up, making your bed, dressing up, biking to work, seeing other people, etc. The whole journey from waking up to getting to work and back home, that's life.

This is recipe for success, not many will understand your message. But this goes in every aspect, not just communication, but coding, solving problems, designing pipelines. Literally every piece of technical code and hard-skill is read by people, including you. So not only soft-part of the job, but also the hard-skills and the technical part of the job should be worked having this perspective in mind.

100% Blade, that's it. As of the coding part, let's write a famous code from "Clean Code". "Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute."

I like your approach. Do you think that empathy can get drowned out in the name of climbing the corporate ladder? It's a dog eat dog out world out there.

Hey Duke, and thanks for chipping in with a comment. Unfortunately, there will always be people who will do whatever it takes to get themselves to a certain point. Fortunately, for the sake of our own souls and well-beings, we can choose to take a different path. It really boils down to what a person is willing to "sacrifice" to get oneself somewhere. Personally for me, I was fortunate enough to work at several amazing companies, and amazing people, and there would never be a tiny chance where I'd sacrifice that peace of mind, for growing at a place that would stab me in the back at the first occasion. With that said, I believe that majority of people crave for a place where they can feel appreciated and where they can be happy. There's a super mega tiny fraction of people who strive for power and will do everything it takes to get it.
