Authenticity is virtuous. People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. This is a photo of my 10 year old daughter. She's brilliantly intelligent, genius level. Seriously.
She learned to read on her own, before the age of three. Today, as a fourth grader, she has read the entire Harry Potter series - a couple of times. Her test scores show she's on an eleventh grade reading level.
She recently won "Guess how much candy is in the jar" contest at the local public library, with a guess of 398. The actual number of candy pieces in the jar was 393.
A Pokemon fan, she's pictured here with her favorite Charzard, tucked underneath her arm. She takes this orange dragon stuffed animal wherever she goes, as socially awkward as it may appear. This comfort keeps her calm.
My daughter reminds me that being real is more important than being pious. The real and authentic Charzard-holding person fascinates me. I'd rather do business with one genuine, approachable, quirky individual over a 1000 know-it-alls.
Be real. Being real trumps being pious. Do you agree?
