We spend years learning math, language, and science.
But no one teaches us how to manage emotions — our own or others’.
That’s why brilliant people still struggle with anger, burnout, or fragile relationships.
Most people think:
👉 “O negative blood can be given to anyone.”
Sounds simple. Feels heroic.
But here’s the truth — it’s not that simple.
I’ve seen it firsthand in the blood centre.
We call O negative the “universal donor” blood because it lacks A, B, and Rh antigens — the main flags our immune system looks for.
So when a patient’s blood group is unknown, especially in emergencies, we grab O negative. It saves lives.
Every one of us is walking around with invisible glasses that color our reality.
Most never take them off.
But those who do — they start to see.
That’s where self-growth begins.
That’s where leadership becomes wisdom.
That’s where life truly happens.
NICE TO MEET YOU
