I learned shortly thereafter that Jerry is one of those guys who shoots it straight with people he respects. If he really cares about you, he’s going to tell you things that you don’t want to hear. And he always shot it straight with me.
This always bothered the living [expletive] out of me. I want to be helped, but I always wanted the gentle way of advising as opposed to anything else.
In recent times, I’ve learned to respond with a chip on my shoulder...but perhaps more humility is a necessity for growth.
