How has being a parent changed your understanding of the world, you as a person?

No matter how many parents I saw before at work, I was nowhere close to realizing the true joys and challenges of working parents. A few things:
- As you are solving world problems and developing your team at work, you are also growing and nurturing the leaders of tomorrow at home. I now think of my long-term contributions to society vs. a narrow focus entirely hinged around work.
- Time is a privilege - I've learned more ruthless prioritization and now focus on how to maximize my impact.
- Develop more empathy not just for parents or caretakers, but for everyone else. I probably have no idea about the challenges they are going through and will not really know them no matter how many happy hours, lunches, virtual water cooler chats, or informal 1:1s I go to.
