‘Tis the season to be jolly - or is it? A few insights I published via @QuartzAtWork on 'How to keep up employee morale during a difficult holiday season'.

The holidays are, after all, a time for giving thanks.

Be audacious. There is always a best possible path. Your job is to find it and have the courage to follow it. What you think is attainable is just a function of what you know at the moment. (1/2)

[Eckhart Tolle Quotes @EckTOLLEQuotes]

Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry - all forms of fear - are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.

@GratefulChip And I am grateful for so much!

The worst advice sometimes comes from people who are the most eager to help.

In their rush to give answers, they fail to ask enough questions to understand the dilemma.

Giving advice is like solving a puzzle: it's best to gather all the pieces before trying to put them together

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

A core skill of emotional intelligence is treating your feelings as a rough draft.

Like art, emotions are works in progress. It rarely serves you well to frame your first sketch.

As you gain perspective, you can revise what you feel. Sometimes you even start over from scratch.

Best learning comes from failures...

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

In school and in life, success depends less on how much we know than on how much we want to learn.

The purpose of education is not just to impart knowledge; it’s to instill curiosity.

Intrinsic motivation is fueled by mystery, exploration, and meaning.

More evidence that it doesn't pay to be a taker:

Selfish people weren't more likely than generous people to gain power over the next 14 years, even in cutthroat workplaces.

Whatever they might gain in intimidation, they lose in trust and relationships.

Sharing my thoughts on love, and why unfollows and comments like, "Shut up and stick to your research" won't keep me from pressing on with purpose.

Colleges don't need "safe spaces" to shield students from ideas that make them uncomfortable.

They need psychological safety: the freedom for students to take intellectual risks.

Higher education should prepare students to reason with challenging ideas, not rush to censor them.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

When the world seems to be falling apart, it's easy to feel a loss of control.

The best cure for helplessness is helpfulness.

You might try generosity day. Set aside an hour a week for people you can help and problems you can solve.

Small wins restore efficacy.

We listen too much to people who think fast and shallow, and too little to people who think slow and deep.

Being quick on their feet may make them sound smart, but it doesn’t mean they’re wise.

When the present is stressful and the future is uncertain, it can help to think back to the past.

Remembering hardships builds gratitude: it could always be worse.

Recalling highlights fosters nostalgia and hope: it will get better.
