And this particular government set-up had some of almost everything, small government conservatives, liberals, the Indigenous people's party, the Green Party. And I recently asked him, what does it take to bring a group like that together but hold them together? He said: Someone, you, has to take responsibility for reminding them of their shared purpose: caring for people. If we are more focused on what makes us different than the same, then every debate is a fight.
新西兰政府几乎囊括了所有党派，包括保守派、自由派、原住民党和绿党。最近我请教他：“如何把这样一个群体聚集在一起，并紧密的团结起来？”他说：“必须有人时刻提醒他们，政府存在的共同目标，就是关心人民”。如果我们更多关注的是彼此的区别，而不是相同点，那么每场辩论，都会是一场战争。

If we put our challenges and our problems before us, then every potential ally becomes an adversary. But as my dad packed his bags for the three flights, 25 hours, 10,000 miles back to Australia, he was also packing a collection of new perspectives. A new way of navigating conversations, and a whole set of new stories and experiences to share. But he was also leaving those behind with everyone that he'd interacted with.
如果我们在辩论之前，先把挑战和问题摆在前面，那么每一个潜在的盟友都会变成敌人。在我父亲乘坐了三趟航班，共持续25个小时，跨越了10000英里返回到澳大利亚，他也带回了许多新的视角，学会了引导谈话的新方式，收获了一系列的新故事和经验。但是他将这些技巧和心得留给了与他对话的所有人。

We love unlikely friendships when they look like this. We've just forgotten how to make them. And amid the cacophony of cable news and the awkwardness of family dinners, and the hostility of corporate meetings. Each of us has this, the opportunity to walk into every encounter, like my dad walked off that plane, to choose curiosity over clash, to expect development of your ideas through discussion and to anchor in common purpose.
我们喜欢像这样意外发生的友谊。我们只是忘了如何成就意外的友谊。在嘈杂的新闻电视台、尴尬的家庭聚餐、敌意满满的公司会议中。我们中的每个人，都有机会在展开每一次谈话时，就像我父亲在那次旅行中一样，选择好奇，而不是冲突，通过讨论使想法进步，找到交谈的共同目标。
