I admired Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as he was a principled man with great principles. The couple that stick in my mind at this time are:

1. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
2. We must either learn to live together as brothers or we are all going to perish together as fools.
3. An Individual has not started living fully until they can rise above the narrow confines of individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of humanity.
4. Every person must decide at some point whether they will walk in light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.
5. The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
6. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.

Media distortions are killing us and most people are reluctant to stand up against them because they are afraid that the media they are criticizing will destroy them. (1/5)
That is why I applaud James and Kathryn Murdoch’s honest and bold public statement that, as described by the FT “castigates the US media for the ‘toxic politics’ threatening American democracy... (2/5)
...saying the media are as culpable as politicians who ‘know the truth but choose instead to propagate lies.’” (3/5)

There is nothing more important than understanding how reality works and how to deal with it. The state of mind you bring to this process makes all the difference. (1/4)
I have found it helpful to think of my life as if it were a game in which each problem I face is a puzzle I need to solve. (2/4)
By solving the puzzle, I get a gem in the form of a principle that helps me avoid the same sort of problem in the future. (3/4)

The question that Americans have to answer is: are the principles that bind us together greater or weaker than the principles that are tearing us apart? (1/11) Image
Before we collectively, as a country, can decide what to do, we must try to reach an agreement on what we want most and how we should deal with each other to get it. In other words, we must see if we can agree on our most fundamental principles. (2/11)
To be a truly united United States we must reaffirm our vows on the biggest shared principles and, in pursuit of them, reaffirm our protocols for thoughtful disagreement through a process that the overwhelming majority of Americans agree with. (3/11)

Most people have a tough time reflecting when they are in pain and they pay attention to other things when the pain passes, so they miss out on the reflections that provide the lessons. If you can reflect well while you’re in pain (which is probably too much to ask), great. (1/6) Image
But if you can remember to reflect after it passes, that’s valuable too. (2/6)
The challenges you face will test and strengthen you. (3/6)

My family and I wish we could personally thank each and everyone one of you who shared your caring and condolences for our loss. While I knew about the power of love I had no idea what a healing effect it would have. (1/4)
And I had no idea that we could build such relationships as we have on social media. You are good, kind people who I admire and feel that I have a meaningful relationship with. (2/4)
For me our interactions were a good reminder of the healing and strengthening power of love and empathy as compared with the destructive power of hate and lack of empathy, especially at this time when hate and lack of empathy are on the ascent. Thank you for all of this. (3/4)

Last week, I offered 10,000 @TisBest Charity Gift Cards to donate to the charities of your choice. There were no strings attached - my hope was simply that you'd experience the joy of receiving a charitable gift rather than a traditional one. That offer was gone in 90 minutes.1/3
I'm now happy to share that since then, a great group of people— @ariannahuff, @aplusk, Mila Kunis, @Kevin, @JayShettyIW, @reedhastings, @DrOz, @GayleKing, David McCormick, Dina Powell McCormick, @marcericlore, Paul Tudor Jones and Chris Haire—has stepped up to contribute...(2/3)
...so that we can together make a new offer.

This time, we’re offering 20,000 @TisBest Charity Gift Cards (at $50 each) so that even more of you have an opportunity to experience this unique kind of giving. Stay tuned for an announcement on their release Friday 12/11. (3/3)
