My One Resolve

"I found a seat under an orange tree and opened one of the poetry books I'd purchased yesterday.  Louise Gluck.  I read the first poem in Italian, then in English, and stopped short at this line: 

Dal centro della mia vita venne una grande fontana...

"From the center of my life, there came a great fountain..."

- Elizabeth Gilbert's "Eat Pray Love".

Italy, here I come.

Huh?

How do you be strong, build relationships and get things done at work all at the same time?

Does building working relationships require a softness and intuition that only certain personalities have?

Do you need to be goal-free in conversations to show you care?
