Intrinsic motivation isn't taught. It's unleashed.
Kids learn to value wealth, status & fame by observing what their parents prize. But they come to value growth, connection & contribution when they feel supported.
The heart of building character is building caring relationships.

Generosity isn’t just a sign of virtue. It’s also a mark of intelligence.
Data: people with high IQs have more unselfish values, give more to charity, and negotiate better deals for others. They prioritize the long-term collective good over short-term self-interest.
It's smarter to be a giver than a taker.

I am having the worst luck with airlines. We bought @cathaypacific flights going back to the US after PAL cancelled our flights this summer. Not only did their delay cause us to miss our connecting flight from Hong Kong to SFO, they left our luggage in HK! 🧵
5/ I asked for a phone number so I can explain it and not to have to go back and forth. They said they only resolve issues through email. Really, @cathaypacificUS?! I sent them my ticket from sfo to JFK and proof of our NY residence and they said they still can't reimburse me.
6/You need to train your customer service reps better @cathaypacificUS. Send our luggage on time or reimbuse us for expenses we should not be incurring because of incompetence.I cannot deal with incompetent customer service. And incompetent airlines. Never again @cathaypacific.

In your career, the most valuable currency is not how much you know. It's how well you learn.
In a stable world, success depended on building expertise. In a changing world, it hinges on evolving expertise.
Potential is no longer defined by ability. It's a function of agility.

A key to regulating emotions is to treat them like visitors in your home.
"I'm angry" lets a feeling take permanent residence. "I'm hosting some anger today" is a reminder that not all guests are welcome.
Emotions may drop in unannounced, but we decide which ones get to stay.

During his inaugural address in 2019, Zelensky told lawmakers: “I do not want my picture in your offices: the President is not an icon, an idol or a portrait. Hang your kids' photos instead, and look at them each time you are making a decision.”

went and translated that zelensky selfie video from the streets of kyiv, just to know what he was actually saying in response to the russian reports that he had fled -- so here it is for the rest of you, plus this music naturally felt right. enjoy.
