This is Og Mandino.

In 1968, he wrote a book that went on to become one of the most powerful personal development books ever written:

“The Greatest Salesman in the World.”

But here’s the thing — it’s not really about sales.

If you want to unlock your full potential, read this thread: 👇Image
Context:

The book tells the story of a poor camel boy who rises to become the greatest salesman in the world.

His journey is shaped by 10 ancient scrolls, each holding a timeless lesson on success and self-mastery.

Here’s what they teach (and how you can apply them):
Scroll 1: Today I Begin a New Life

Start fresh every single day.

Release the weight of past failures and embrace new beginnings.

Each morning, affirm your purpose and approach the day with energy and optimism.

Learn from yesterday — but live for today.

Mr. President @realDonaldTrump ,
You said we can't take people "off the unemployment line" and put them in battery factories.
**You're wrong.**
We're not stupid.
We're **stifled.**
Here's how you fix it - and become **The Patriot President**.

When you immigrate to permanently live in America, you admit the country you left sucks. Please don't grandstand about how much Americans suck. You thought wherever the hell you are from and the people there sucked more so you left. Why are you pretending otherwise? Why lie?
I left Ukraine because it sucked and America was better. I don't find any difficulty in admitting this, it's objective fact. The average immigrant does struggle with this, though. Crazy, isn't it? They can't even be honest with themselves.
Most anti-American people are petty, bitter and insecure. They have inferiority complexes about their origins and life circumstances and feel the need to personally defend themselves if you remind them about them. They will not admit fault with the places they're from, or the tribes they are part of, because they're ashamed of the truth. Constitutionally brittle and hollow people can't simply acknowledge uncomfortable facts. This is perhaps why their own countries are falling apart and they can't bear to live in them: you can never fix a problem you do not recognize to exist. But because they don't recognize American problems as their own, they have no problem complaining about everything while in America. They project their unprocessed inner shame onto you, the American. How dare he be proud of his country? How dare he think its worth preserving? I better tell him now how important I am around here. How important my people are! The anti-American never notices how cringe and retarded and gay he sounds to everyone with any sense of shame. One might wonder if they have mirrors in any other country, because these foreigners never appear to see themselves.

Days before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Belarusian government sold a plot of land in an exclusive Russian ski resort town for 20 times cheaper than its market value.

Now an elite ‘hotel complex’ is being built on that land — but not just for anyone. Image
The development includes VIP villas and Turkish spas, as well as high-security features like guard posts and a drone suppression system.

It may be intended for Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko.

occrp.org/en/investigati…
Last year, @osbbelpol and @Belsat_TV reported that the site had been transferred on Lukashenko’s orders to a private Russian company run by people tied to his “right-hand man,” Viktor Sheiman.

Now, @BelarusFiles has obtained new information on the money behind the complex — and whose name is on the documents.

The old exportweltmeister has been dethroned -- and its economy is suffering at the hand of the new exportweltmeister (China).

That is the story told by both a new ECB paper and the FT in an excellent new piece

1/ Image
Put simply, Germany is the most exposed large G-7 economy to the second China shock (Japan has been buffered by an incredibly weak yen).

2/ Image
The impact of the second China shock is in all the relevant data sets -- & it reflects a clear Chinese policy choice: “As a country, the Chinese have been in the last years much better, more proactive, more consistent in going after the big technologies and conquering them”

Hello well come to Day 3 Session 2 of Morrison v BFF - we are approximately half way through the evidence of Michele Devlin BFF CEO. This morning's thread is here - it has all the abbreviations etc
This was MD leaving court yesterday with BFF co-founder Laurence McKeown. Image
tbf it was relatively good humoured - she told me I'd already got a phot from Day 1 and and I told her it wasn't very good, hence my second attempt. Anyway - court is sitting, MD should now have the unredacted sentence from the previously redacted legal "advice" which NC argues cannot attract privilege and which J and SD are sort of conceding.

BTC’s long been the digital Store of Value, now Fidelity and VanEck say ETH belongs too. We dig in.

Our latest report, in collaboration with @glassnode, explores usage behaviour for BTC and ETH, and whether it aligns more with a Store of Value or Utility asset. Image
Dormancy between BTC and ETH is diverging.

ETH’s long-term holders are mobilising their old coins at a rate that’s 3x faster than BTC’s long-term holders, signalling ETH's long-term holders are more willing to part with their coins, pointing to utility-driven behaviour. Image
Turnover is low for both assets, though higher for ETH.

BTC turns 0.6% of free float per day, while ETH turns 1.3%, 2x that of BTC. Both sit above gold’s 0.3% per day, yet are multiples below USD’s 20% per day velocity. These stats are savings-like, not fiat-like. Image

PUPIL ATTENDANCE & ILLNESS

The government & media seem to believe that the significant rise in pupil absence compared to pre-pandemic is primarily driven by truancy.

They don’t seem to believe there is a GENUINE increase in illness.

So let’s take a closer look at the data… 🔎 Image
This chart shows emergency admissions for children with lower respiratory tract infections, broken down by school-age year group.

I’ve compared the 5 years before the pandemic started (2014/15 - 2018/19) to 2023/24 (most recent data published).

Do you notice anything? Image
The data is taken from the NHS Outcomes Framework.

It specifically charts Indicator 3.2: “Emergency admissions for children with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs)”.

You can find the raw data here:
