What do Elon Musk, Seth Godin and my brother in law have in common?
They all strive to be useful.
I tell my kid’s to watch to for this quality in their uncle Brandon.
He makes it easy for them to see.
The other day he shows up to our house and installs the motion sensor he got us for Christmas.
As we’re leaving our driveway on the way to the family Christmas party, he stops his car, gets out and brings our garbage container back from the other side of the road.
Out of the blue, without anyone asking him to and without expectation of any reward, he does things that need to be done.
What a great quality, what a great word, what a great way to live.
Useful.
