Quote by Rainer Maria Rilke

A person isn't who they are during the last conversation you had with them - they're who they've been throughout your whole relationship

A person isn't who they are during the last conversation you

Summary

This quote suggests that it is unfair to judge someone based solely on their last interaction or conversation with you. Instead, it emphasizes the importance of considering the entire history of your relationship with them. People's true nature and character should be evaluated based on how they have consistently behaved and treated you over time, rather than being defined by a single encounter. This viewpoint encourages understanding and compassion, acknowledging that individuals can have off moments or bad days that may not be representative of who they truly are.

Success doesn't necessarily come from breakthrough innovation but from flawless execution. A great strategy alone won't win a game or a battle the win comes from basic blocking and tackling.
