I am lucky to have co-workers that are wise. Their wisdom seems to come out when we're out having drinks which may explain some of the profound things that they say. A few months ago, a few of us were out and my co-worker told us that every morning he tells his wife that she is beautiful. One co-worker asked, "Doesn't telling her that she's beautiful make it less special when you really find her beautiful like when she's dressed up for an event?" My co-worker responded:
"Just because you don't tell a tall person that they're tall doesn't mean that they're not."
It makes a lot of sense and I remember when he said that we all looked at each other and realized that what he said was so true. And, when I'm feeling stupid (which I'm not) or fill-in-the-blank (which I'm not), I remember what he said and I realize that I don't need the outside world to validate what I am or am not.
