“But here are a few leadership tips learned from scars: Learn quickly what hills you will die on and which ones you must not. Learn when to build bridges and when to draw lines, and don’t get the two mixed up! Learn when to confront and when to let it die and never bring it up again.

The best thing to do is to begin with the wash of repentance,”
