My childless 30s where I make as much money as possible and have fun while doing it is going to set up my foster dad 40s where I spoil the shit out of kids that have never been spoiled before.
There's enough humans in the world already, I don't have to make my own.
Our education system has such outdated notions of human potential. We need to revise our education philosophy so it's more in line with a systems model. Human development is dynamic, nonlinear, and probabilistic. Standard predictive models of success and life outcomes won't hold.
Universities oversell two things: prestige and the experience.
The experience isn't dependent on the school. I hate to break it to you. It's the people you surround yourself with.
The prestige is overrated. Go to a school you can afford that aligns with your pursuits/interests.
Novice runners tend to go too hard on the easy days and too easy on the hard days.
Same thing occurs in the office. We spend too much time, energy & effort on emails, meetings, etc.
We don't block off enough time for the deep work that leads to actual progress & growth.
The miracle is not
a Hot 100 spot
The miracle is you, not some gift, just you
The miracle is you, all of you, all of you

There’s a lot wrong with education.
But it’s often not what you hear in the media or from politicians.
Step one is simple, yet hard. Treat teachers with respect. Stop seeing them as babysitters for your kids. Raise their status. Figure out how to retain more talent.
Learning a foreign language can include more than just verb conjugation and rote recitation. These 6 steps assist students in learning a language inductively.

Many “best practices” were created for a world that no longer exists.
In the face of change, the routines that once moved you forward often become the ruts that hold you back.
No practice is ever perfect. The day you stop being open to improving is the day you start stagnating.
Marathon fans!!! The women’s Olympic marathon will show in it’s entirety on USA starting at 6PM EST Friday 8/6. The end will also be picked up during @NBCOlympics primetime at 8PM EST. That show will also feature the M 5000m final and the W 1500m final. It’s going to be great!!
What makes a champion? New analysis of over 6,000 athletes finds those who got to world-class, had during their youth:
-more multisport than specialized practice
-started their main sport later
-accumulated less practice
-Initially progressed slower than national class peers

How fast is the 51.90 for 400m hurdles that Sydney McLaughlin just ran?
Beyond a world record, running 51.9 for the flat 400 was good enough to qualify for the Olympic trials in that event….
