In a polarized world, a key to happiness is being hard to offend.

Feeling slighted takes a toll. It's possible to object without getting upset.

Rudeness says more about the perpetrator than the target. If they haven't earned your respect, they don't deserve your attention.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The best way to open people's minds isn't to argue with them. It's to listen to them.

When people feel understood, they become less defensive and more reflective—and develop less extreme, more nuanced views.

Productive disagreements begin with curiosity, not persuasion.

@TheSimsMobile @SimGuruPedro Im still waiting for the update. 🤷🏾‍♀️ patiently waiting.

[Heather L Lawrence @Loyallearning]

@SimGuruPedro I’ve opened 14 cases and spent an hour being bounced from chat assistant to chat assistant. It doesn’t feel like help.

[Heather L Lawrence @Loyallearning]

@am_AutoFun @SimGuruPedro @EAHelp @TheSimsMobile Im having similar challenges. I was bounced around in a chat for an hour six different individuals. It’s disappointing.

Danny Suhr was a 9/11 hero.

His legacy will be honored at James Madison High School @JMHSBklyn where new athletic fields will be named after the former Golden Knights football captain.

@seafoamsafari @TheSimsMobile @EAHelp This has been my experience. It feels intentional.

[Heather L Lawrence @Loyallearning]

@TheSimsMobile I’ve reached out again and again to no avail. Where is the right place to reach. It’s a month later and nothing has been resolved.

[Heather L Lawrence @Loyallearning]

@TheSimsMobile My items were not restored, but you are announcing a fix, several message boards are reporting that this hasn’t been fixed. Is it the plan to leave the community angry?

[Heather L Lawrence @Loyallearning]

@TheSimsMobile Nothing of mine was restored!
I’m confused I’ve sent close the thirty emails, and several were closed without resolution. What is going on?

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The first rule of leadership: put your mission above your ego.

The second rule of leadership: if you don't care about your people, they won't care about your mission.

The third rule of leadership: if someone has to tell you the first two rules, you're not ready to lead yet.

[Heather L Lawrence @Loyallearning]

@AdamMGrant I’m excited.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

I’m giving away 100 signed copies of my new book #HiddenPotential.

When you need help, it’s better to ping one person than a group.

Data: messages to multiple recipients get fewer and less helpful replies. Diffusion of responsibility kicks in: "I'm not needed—someone else will do it!"

Generosity rises with a sense of unique contribution.

We miss out on opportunities when we only ask what could go wrong. It's also worth asking what could go right.

Change carries risk: we might fail. But sticking to the status quo also brings risk: we might fail to grow.

It's better to test and learn than to never test at all.
