Too many of you allow the lure of instant gratification to throw you off track from your goals. Focus on building what you are working on. Give it time and space to grow. Likes and RT's won't keep you warm at night.
I'm just gonna be real and say as a Mexican student at Harvard whose parents didn't go to college who hung out with primarily Latine students of similar backgrounds that the people least qualified to attend imho were the legacies and the rowers.
"Given the current environment..."
The current environment is that Disney (ESPN's parent company) made $29 billion in profit for 2022, which was a 27% increase over 2021.
True story: Harvard Business School rejected me in '91. When I got the news, I checked to see if they'd cashed my $100 application fee check. They hadn't, so I did a "stop payment". When they called, trying to collect, I suggested they could learn a business lesson from this. 😂
If you’re in or near NYC and you’re a fan of women’s hoops, you NEED to see Flex at Lincoln Center.
It’s a play about a Black women’s HS 🏀 team in Arkansas in 1998. It was SO GOOD!
Plays like this rarely get produced so go support the arts, Black actors, and women’s hoops!
No idea why AirBnB’s business is suffering. Anyway last time I stayed at one I forgot to separate garbage and recycling and the owner shot me with a bow and arrow
They have been introducing tablets in California prisons. One of the features on these new tablets is the ability to receive messages and photos from family. This is great right? But ofcourse the Correctional Officers have found a way to abuse this. 🧵📱
My 6yo raised his voice when speaking to me and I calmly redirected his tone. My 7yo gon say “I don’t know how you deal with these kids so calm”.
Boy….
my therapist changed my life when he taught me there are 4 types of conversation:
1) small talk (weather, etc)
2) swapping (you tell a story, I tell a story)
3) listening (you tell a story, I listen/validate)
4) problem-solving (you tell me a story, I help solve the problem)
Update: Former #49ers QB Colin Kaepernick says he's still waiting for NFL team to call him to resume his career, trains 5-6 days a week.
The 35-year old Kaepernick says he can still easily throw farther than 60 yards, per @GManzano24
"I just want the opportunity to come in, show what I can do on the field. Judge me based upon that, not the political bias that you have.”
“I’m going to keep pushing,” Kaepernick told Sports Illustrated. “I’m going to keep fighting for it because I know I can step on the field and play. Every workout, every opportunity I’ve had to show that, the feedback has always been positive. Everything from, ‘He’s still an elite player,’ to ‘The workout was great; it was better than expected.’
