approach. It shows you not to let your emotions lead you. There are facts. People will call us soft
sciences but we clike anybody else. I believe onsider ourselves scientists just – I’ve learned in school
that emotions doesn’t drive those things; facts and research, hard data are what you use to develop
those opinions and draw conclusions to make decisions. Now, everybody will make decision on
emotion first sometimes, but that shouldn’t be your final decision. I raised 2 kids by myself and
emotions played a huge part in that.

people in a way that to me is satisfying. That to me is the reality. When you can relate to reality you
have a better chance of actually succeeding with people, with projects, in life.

R8 I think what I learned is that you have to find a way to connect with people on an emotional level.
