Everything builds on prior efforts:

“The point of setting ambitious goals isn't to experience joy. It's to pursue personal growth and mastery — or to create something of value for others.” @AdamMGrant

“The single best predictor of behavior is ease — more than price, or quality, or comfort, or desire, or satisfaction." @zoebchance

Even when something is not easy, some will try to navigate the path:

“We don’t need more empathy in the world. We need more compassion. Empathy is FEELING the pain and suffering of others. COMPASSION is ACTING to RELIEVE the pain and suffering of others.” @AdamMGrant

The career plan of "achieve success, then give back" misses many opportunities to GIVE ALONG THE WAY:

Offer feedback
Share knowledge
Make introductions
Recognize unsung heroes
Provide advice
Show compassion

We believe in the interconnectedness of all things.

Everything — and EVERYONE — is deeply intertwingled.

“Building resilience isn’t about becoming immune to pain. It’s recognizing that we have strength to persevere in the face of pain. Capacity to feel intense emotions… enables us to hope and to love.” @AdamMGrant

“Mastery comes from deliberate practice. Creativity comes from deliberate play… New ideas flourish in unstructured activities and serendipitous conversations.” @AdamMGrant

“Practicing the same skill back-to-back is less effective than mixing up different skills. Varying your practice focuses attention and accelerates learning.” @AdamMGrant

72/ 🩰💃: #CharlotteNebres @nycballet

”A key to resilience is your past self: Remembering that you've overcome adversity before.” @AdamMGrant

"You are not born with a fixed amount of resilience. Like a muscle, you can build it up." @sherylsandberg

@Acyn How many elections must Trump lose before @RepRaskin no longer has to warn voters about him?

#TrumpIsANationalSecurityRisk
@Acyn @RepRaskin “Trump’s lawyer argued that as president* he could order the assassination of rivals and face no prosecution unless he’s impeached and convicted. But of course he could just kill or threaten to kill Members of Congress who dare to impeach or convict him.”


@Acyn @RepRaskin Thank you for holding Trump accountable, @RepRaskin.

“I’ll say what I want to say and if the consequence of that is losing money — so be it.”
Elon Musk to David Faber 5/16/23


“The Twitter thing is different, right? We are seeing in these recent years that Elon Musk has behaved erratically at times, that the biographical facts that you mentioned that led to him at times talking about his loneliness, his sadness…” @RonanFarrow


“You take a guy with this much power, who is talking openly about his sadness, his isolation, his loneliness… There are people around him who are concerned. And then we as a nation — and indeed as a world — have to be concerned…”

“There are so many unanswered questions…lingering. How, for example, did Biden get 15 million more votes than his former boss Obama? Was the 2020 election a miracle? Honestly we don’t know and don’t expect an answer tonight.”

“WATCH: The Fox on air vs. off air comparison. To understand the depths of Fox’s hypocrisy, you really need to hear what the stars of Fox were saying on TV versus what they were telling each other behind the scenes.” @mehdirhasan

“In the long haul, I think you and all these opinion shows [are bad for America] because you’re very good at what you do [attracting] people who are determined that ideology is more important than facts.”
