Several years ago I was in a Subway in Arizona. I was the only person in the store and so I waited for a “sandwich artist” to process my masterpiece. I glanced over the corner to the office of “artists” where I noticed a quote on the wall that has stuck with me since.

Small Minds Discuss People.

Average Minds Discuss Events.

Great Minds Discuss Ideas.     -Eleanor Roosevelt

That is powerful! Reflect on that, and what percent of your conversations are in each one of those categories.
