Yeah I think the best lesson to take from the parable is to keep the ego and corresponding negative emotions out of it.<p>There&#x27;s nothing really wrong with what he told the guy (at least, what he says he told the guy), it&#x27;s just that by his own words, the way he said it came across like him being a <i></i><i></i>.<p>When instead if he&#x27;d been able to get past his anger&#x2F;offense at being questioned, he could have done the same thing but positively, like &quot;dude check out all this awesome shit i am literally already doing for you, for free! Doesn&#x27;t that actually look like you are getting a pretty sweet deal?&quot; And so then instead of this client being like &quot;oh well fuck me for asking I guess&quot; he could have been like &quot;whoa shit this guy is giving me the sick hookup, I better hire him all the time from now on forever!&quot;
