What if every designer you know who took up stick and poke tattoos, ceramics, or some other analog only activity in the last few years was picking up universe vibes about AI’s impending revolution like how cows lay down before it rains?

Impostor syndrome is not a sign that other people are overestimating you. It's more likely that you're underestimating your potential.
Confidence is often a consequence of growth, not a cause. Believing in your ability is less important than believing in your ability to improve.
Just had the best customer support experience with @AmericanAir - either Matt or Max (forget exactly 🙈). Helped us rebook our canceled Madrid flight for the same day. HUGE thank you for making our day.

There's a simple fact I tell my kids:
You've got to learn how to lose well.
In life, you lose more than you win.
Learning how to take a loss, get back up, and keep working,
Makes you resilient.
And the resilient shall inherit the earth.
8 ways you can foster resilience:
One of the most stressful parts of flying is worrying about your bag getting lost which is why I SPECIFICALLY only pack a carry on bag when I fly
So why is @Delta requiring roller bags to get checked (to baggage claim) at the gate when there is still TONS of room left. Do better
