May 27

That this morning there is a post about the Harvard president encouraging others to speak up—like they did.

I think it depends on your mentality. Where you see fear, I see people from all walks of life speaking up.

People who are fearful probably don’t have much confidence in themselves.

That hasn’t been my life experience, so I don’t see it that way.
