“When I have my interview with my God, our conversation will focus on the individuals whose self-esteem I was able to strengthen, whose faith I was able to reinforce, and whose discomfort I was able to assuage—a doer of good, regardless of what assignment I had. These are the metrics of that matter in measuring my life. This realization, which occurred nearly fifteen years ago, guided me every day to seek opportunities to help people in ways tailored to their individual circumstances. My happiness and my sense of worth has been immeasurably improved as a result.” PeopleWayYearsHas BeensSelfMatterHelpingAbleOpportunityIndividualResultsFocusSelf EsteemCircumstancesConversationYears AgoEsteemRealizationInterviewsFifteenDiscomfortAssignmentsMeasuringDoersFifteen YearsMetricsTailored Author:Clayton Christensen
