​It's good to have a friend like Jim
who can say without shame
that he's really pissed at you.
He can tell you what you did.
He can tell you he thinks you're terrific,
and you really believe him, and
he can tell you that its not so good
for you to think that you're terrific.
He can tell you that you're arrogant,
and you believe that too.
And you say,  "Thanks for the straight feedback."
knowing that part of your mission is humility.
You still have a long way to go,
and you need unequivocal reminders occasionally.
That's why 
it's good to have a friend like Jim.
