“I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or de-humanized. If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming.” -Haim Ginott

This week’s Bradley Whitford guest spot on Parks and Rec put us in the way of some great West Wing crossovers. Not only did Leslie have a walk and talk but we also had this call back to another very important campaign.
Awesome! We just saw that episode of The West Wing last week. I love that there are people who love television even more than I do.
