Jeff Bezos reveals the simple phrase that saved him countless arguments running Amazon
"Disagree and commit is a really important principle that saves a lot of arguing"
"One of my direct reports would want to do something. I'd think it was a bad idea. We'd go back and forth and I'd often say, you know what, I don't think you're right, but I'm going to gamble with you"
"You're closer to the ground truth than I am. I've known you for 20 years, you have great judgment"
"At least then you've made a decision and I'm agreeing to commit to that decision. I'm not going to be second guessing it, sniping at it, or saying I told you so"
"I'm going to try actively to help make sure it works. That's a really important teammate behavior"
I absolutely love this.
Have one in college and one just graduated HS.. but I have 4 still in the house and we’re definitely implementing!!!
Wished I have done this sooner
25 years ago today: Alan Webb breaks Jim Ryun's legendary US high school mile record by running 3:53.43 at the Prefontaine Classic.
Even with super shoes, super spikes, and bicarb, no US high schooler has come within a second of Webb's record.

See how Prufrock continuously mines - pushing and building at the same time.
The machines, from Las Vegas to Dubai, are remotely controlled from our Bastrop Operations Center.
These advances help TBC deliver more miles each year in the battle against soul-destroying traffic.
Your entire life will change when you realize that nobody is thinking about you. I often wonder how many extraordinary people waste their entire lives fearing the judgement of people who were never even thinking about them in the first place. Fearing a spotlight that was never even on. Performing for an audience that was never even there. Because the truth is that you aren't afraid of failure. Not really. You're afraid of other people seeing you fail. You're afraid of what other people will think of you if you fail. But nobody is thinking about you. Everybody is too busy thinking about themselves. So, that thing you've always wanted to do? Go do it.
🚨 OLYMPIAN RYAN LOCHTE: "We started watching these people getting baptized, and something came into me, something so pure."
"I'm going to start crying. It felt so real watching these people get baptized."
"And I asked [my girlfriend], 'What is this?'"
She said, "They're washing away their sins. They're getting a fresh start publicly."
"And I was like, 'Honey, I want that.'"
"And so, I got baptized. I washed away my sins, and trust me, I had a lot!"
"... To put your life in front of God and give it to God has changed everything for me."
"I'm finding who I am."
"I am being a better father, a better person, and I just love the person that I've become now, and I owe it to God."
