“In the never-ending struggle against boredom, Pre wanted to run new routes. "All right, you guys decide where we're going to run," he would challenge Feig and Bence when they trained together on the roads. Feig would suggest the Bike Trail or Skinner's Butte, and Pre would respond with "That's not very original; everybody does that all the time." "So we'd end up with him going off in the lead and end up running the same old thing we'd done before," Bence says,”

“When emotions turn and stay sour, when thoughts become cynical and judgmental, good and compassionate treatment is on the line. Helpers who become sour and cynical tend to begrudge their high need clients for their neediness. There is a risk that helpers become too well-practiced at taking a bleak view of those they have avowed to assist. There is a temptation to begin to blame clients for their failure to improve. If treatment ends pre-maturely, with either a client never returning to treatment or a helper 'firing' them out of frustration, there is a tendency for the client to take the fall. Of course what we are talking about here are signs of burnout.”

“Books are the ultimate ride-or-die companions. They’re always there, never cancel plans, and don’t care if you’re in your pajamas. They offer wisdom, adventure, and comfort without a hint of judgment. In a world full of pessimism, a good book is your steadfast sidekick, always ready for a chat at any hour. So, next time you need inspiration, just crack open a book. After all, where else can you find a friend who’s always got your back and never asks for anything in return?”
