@SamMichi94 @fernandowavesfx Totally agree. A wise thing for you to say.

Focus on effort, not outcomes. It’s insane to tie your wellbeing to things outside of your control, Marcus Aurelius said. If you did your best, if you gave it your all, if you acted with your best judgment—that's a win…regardless of whether it’s a good or bad outcome.

Steve Jobs on the most important job of a CEO

“The greatest people are self-managing. They don’t need to be managed. Once they know what to do, they’ll go figure out how to do it… What they need is a common vision, and that’s what leadership is. Leadership is having a vision, being able to articulate that so the people around you can understand it, and getting consensus on a common vision.”

Steve continues:

“We wanted people who were insanely great at what they did… and the neatest thing that happens when you get a core group ten great people is that it becomes self-policing as to who they let into that group. So I consider the most important job of someone like myself is recruiting.”

Liverpool v Aston Villa "not on TV" today... but actually it is on TV in pretty much every other country in the world, the cameras, commentators and pundits are all there. Domestic consumers just get uniquely screwed despite paying absurd sums to TV companies.

You buy a house, thinking it's a good investment

Value increases $500K

Now what? When does it actually turn into $ for you?

Do you sell & move to another house? Other houses are expensive now

Sell & move cities? Maybe, but your friends & family are here

Now what?

[Ramit Sethi @ramit]

"Should I buy a house?"

A checklist.

* Will I live here for 10+ years?
* Is my total monthly housing cost lower than 28% of gross monthly income?
* Have I saved a 20% down payment?
* Am I OK if the value of my house goes down?
* Am I excited about buying?

@YoungMindsUK Schools that prioritise wellbeing over exams.

[YoungMinds @YoungMindsUK]

This isn't acceptable. https://t.co/82mwTEZgX5

Imagine if every young person could get the mental health support they needed, when they needed it, no matter what - from school, in their community or NHS services.

Imagine the amount of pressure taken off parents.

Imagine how many less young people would end up in crisis.

If you could go back and give your 18 year old self one piece of advice, what would it be?

Three finals, two trophies, 92pts and just four defeats in 63 games. No wonder the streets of the city will still be packed today. It’s been some ride.
Liverpool have been immense this season but a heartbreaking finale cut deep. #LFC
