It is in the admission of ignorance and the admission of uncertainty that there is a hope for the continuous motion of human beings in some direction that doesn't get confined, permanently blocked, as it has so many times before in various periods in the history of man.

Guys, I think he executed the race to PERFECTION.

Ken Harnden, Auburn’s hurdles coach, wasn’t even in the stadium to witness Ja’Kobe Tharp’s world record because he was out on the practice track making sure the rest of his guys were ready for their races.

The trust that Harnden and Tharp have built between each other speaks volume and shows that Harnden was fully confident in Tharp’s ability to get through the preliminary round…it just happened to be done in a world record time.

[0xDipper @Dipper_pol]

Daniel Kahneman - the psychologist who won a Nobel in economics - spent his life proving one thing: your confidence is lying to you

A bat and a ball cost $1.10. The bat costs $1 more than the ball. The answer "10 cents" jumps to mind instantly. It's wrong (it's 5 cents) - and ~50% of students at Harvard, MIT and Princeton say it without checking.

That gap is his whole point: the fast, intuitive mind builds a clean story from almost nothing, and the feeling of certainty has nothing to do with being right.

"Confidence is a feeling, not a judgment."

"Stock pickers can't develop intuition - there isn't enough regularity for it to form."

"You can build a very coherent story out of very little information."

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Pat Riley shares what culture really is - and why everyone has one whether they know it or not.

"Everybody has a culture. A culture is simply a shared vision of what it is you wanna do to get to where it is you wanna go."

"It's a shared vision of what you have to do to get there."

Culture isn't a slogan. It's a standard everyone commits to.

"It's up to the coach to create the philosophy."
"You can take each one of those acronyms - hard work, conditioning, toughness - and talk about that for 30 minutes. But it has to mean something."

Then he explained what great culture builders do:
"Once you set the tone about what your philosophy is going to be - you have to paint the picture. You paint the picture of what it's going to look like."

Words create the vision. Actions build the culture.

Culture isn’t what you say - it’s what you reinforce daily.

It's shaped by your actions and what you allow.
