Everyone's optimizing their skills
for whatever comes next.
Fewer people think about
the thing that has always mattered
and always will:
the people who root for you.
Skills open doors.
Relationships tell you
which doors exist.
The opportunities that changed my life
didn't come from a job board.
They came from someone
who knew me, trusted me,
and thought of me
when it counted.
You build that the slow way —
by helping people
with nothing expected back.
Answering the question.
Making the intro.
Showing up when it's inconvenient.
No machine automates that.
No trend makes it obsolete.
In whatever future arrives,
the person surrounded by people
they've genuinely helped
is never really alone in it.
Invest in people.
It compounds longer than anything.
