Reflect

After reading the articles above, create a gist on Github and reflect (4-6 sentences) on the following prompts.

• What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?

• How do you work best?
  • I still haven't found an entirely satisfying answer to that question, but I've started to notice that I work quite well when I have colleagues who are in the same situation as I am. When I start to struggle with something, the first thing I really want to know is if anyone else is facing the same t
