They tell men all the same things. This isn’t the 1950s. It’s not rigged, it’s just hard being human. Hang in there and try to get better every day.

True, life’s tough for everyone in different ways. Just gotta keep going and keep growing.

Honestly, you have to learn how to play the game. I hate to say it but I have found that being in on the office politics helps. You have to play chess, not checkers.

You’re not wrong sometimes it really does feel like a chess match. Just wish things could be more straightforward without all the politics.

Be authentic. That's all you got! That's all you need!
I'm not changing for anyone. Don't permit society to turn you into sheep.

Staying true to yourself is the only flex that really matters.

Most importantly be yourself and be genuine. Fake it til you make it definitely doesn't apply!. Upper level leaders can spot a phoney a mile away.

Absolutely! Being authentic always wins in the long run.

I'm going to Machu Picchu next month with my brother and hiking the Inca trail. Any recommendations on what I absolutely need to bring for the hike? Anyone who hiked the Inca trail take like a battery pack or something with them for their camera?

Also, I'm considering bringing my drone even tho I know I can't take it into any of the sacred places like Machu picchu. I also have to register it with customs when I get into the country. Is it still worth taking? I can use it around Cusco and Lima
