I’d rather be criticized than to ever be a critic

I’d rather be talked about than to ever gossip

I’d rather be laughed at than make fun of others

I’d rather be hated for doing right than loved for doing wrong

I’d rather inspire than give orders

I’d rather create than consume

I’d rather empathize than ignore

I’d rather transform than adapt

I’d rather listen than hear

I’d rather give than receive

I’d rather seek than be ok with not knowing

I’d rather lose bravely than win cheating

I’d rather love than hate

I’d rather reach and miss than settle
