"but if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen." i've been a letterman fan since i was 20, but i was taken aback last night when i heard conan speak those words on his last tonight show. his good bye to his audience and fans was incredibly heart felt, sincere.....and kind. for someone to have been so gracious after being screwed so royal is a testament to his seeing the bigger picture and knowing himself.
if we look at an experience, conversation or transgression and think that it defines us or another, we are not seeing the bigger picture - the more important picture. we've all been rejected by someone - either a boy or girlfriend, a boss, but once out of the moment of pain or shock, we usually come to see that there is a better job, opportunity or mate for us. you just need to look for the bigger picture.
it was conan saying being kind that resonated. i've always tried to be kind and thoughtful and have felt alone many times in the last few years. feeling that why was i the one always holding the door or saying thank you or doing the work. i do believe you get what you give and what you put out there comes back, but it's more about being true to yourself and living up to your own personal expectations.
wwcd: i may even give conan a try when he ends up on fox in september
I'm not much of a Conan fan. I watched his last show and thought it seemed a little dissonant with everything else he said and did in the prior week or so. He wasn't exactly being kind then!
