I try to be well informed. I don't know how well I do all the time, but I try nonetheless.

I think I have enough of a sense to know what works for me and what doesn't, without going into some big thing and analyzing what I do. I'm in a position that allows me to do what I want to do, and I do it.

I think I'm very focused and am quite a good multitasker, and I'm quite driven in knowing what my responsibilities are to my family and knowing what I've got to do to do that.

I have more awareness of other people and, I hope, more sensitivity to their needs. I also find that I'm more direct and outspoken.

I've always felt that work - learning from people who know more than I know - is what keeps you going.

I know what I am, and what I have to do in my profession, so I can handle the pressure. It's the way I think.

Mostly, I'm in the very enviable position that no one dictates what I do.

I think I've learned the difference between the things I can control and the things I can't control. And hopefully, by doing the things I can control well, I'll have more favor in the other category.

Now I can walk into a room full of people I don't know and do my job. That's quite a massive thing to learn, I think.

Too much of the education system orients students toward becoming better thinkers, but there is almost no focus on our capacity to pay attention and cultivate awareness.
