your most important personal relationships
Page 133 your most important personal relationships. Family and friends, mentors, spiritual advisers and anyone who is special in your life outside of the business world. Take a close look at that list of people. Review the amount of time you spend with these people. Is it sufficient? Do you enjoy quality time or just a few seconds on the telephone? Who else do you spend your personal time with? Are they robbing you of time that would be better spent developing your car relationships?
— from The Air Traffic Controller (God)
In the book
And you live, always, in three dimensions at once: your relationship with other people, your relationship with yourself, and your relationship with God. Of the three, the last is the one I most want you to audit honestly — look at how much of your time you actually give to it, because it is the foundation of the whole fortress, the support system that holds up everything else. Let me leave you, then, the way the fathers of our people have always left their children — not with property, but with a charge, the kind of ethical will that is really just a father's voice trying to keep speaking to his children after he is gone. — The Air Traffic Controller (God)
