It was so heartwarming to see the kids taking part in this resistance. This little kid’s granny told me that he dreams of becoming a scientist. 📊📈🌎

Redford and Lovell hit me hard.
They had full lives but they deeply affected some people I care for.

A few life lessons from Robert Redford, Jane Goodall and others who died in 2025
Keep your cool. Less is more. Don’t forget the duct tape. And more wisdom from lives well lived.

People are more drawn to arrogant leaders in an uncertain world. They mistake swagger for strength & skill.
Narcissists are unfit to lead. They see power as an opportunity to seize, not a responsibility to serve.
Great leaders blend confidence with humility and put their missions above their egos.

Too many mediocre men talk over capable women.
Study of problem-solving teams: Men dominate the conversation, taking 50% more turns and saying 69% more than women. Men with low skill speak more than women with high skill.
It's long past time to value competence over confidence.

My quote of the day
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

Being kind boosts mental health more than seeking joy.
Evidence: Doing 3 random acts of kindness a week is enough to reduce depression, anxiety & loneliness. It's more beneficial than doing nice things for yourself.
