The highest form of debate isn't about one person declaring victory. It's about both people making a discovery.

The goal isn't to defend your reasons and attack theirs. It's to sharpen your reasoning.

Good arguments shift what you think. Great arguments change how you think.

The ‘why’ matters
#whymatters #habits #motivation #change #yesican

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

When people say "I can't change," what they often mean is "I don't want to change."

The greatest barrier to adjusting behavior isn't a lack of skill. It's a lack of will.

Motivation fuels capacity. Before you teach people how to alter their habits, they need to find the why.

"I don't know"

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Saying "I don't know" doesn't reveal ignorance or insecurity. It reflects confident humility.

Insecurity drives us to pretend we have the answers. Confident humility gives us the courage to ask questions.

You can't learn if you can't admit you have something to learn.

Putting people in a group doesn’t make them a team.

A team is a collection of people with a shared identity who collaborate to achieve a common mission. Each member makes a unique contribution.

Turning a group into a team starts with clarifying core values, goals, and roles.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

In interviews, don't just hire the people who give the best answers. Hire the ones who ask the best questions.

When people inquire about how they can grow and contribute, they signal that they won't just master the job; they'll enrich your culture of learning.

Finland has the world’s best education system. Instead of standardized tests, they focus on joy in learning.

Kids get 15 minutes of outdoor recess every hour. Why?

“The work of a child is to play.”

Africa, the only continent where population growth continues
#population #growth #globalpopulation #africa

[Simon Kuestenmacher @simongerman600]

Global population until 2100:

Growth dominated by Africa
Total population grows until around 2100
From 2100 the world will face the challenge of shrinking populations
Hard to picture another century dominated by US / Europe

#habit #change

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Stupidity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result.
Naivete is doing a different thing and expecting the same result.

Changing habits is hard. Sometimes you can't progress unless you're willing to regress.

One step back, two steps forward.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Don’t strive to be the best. It creates an illusion of an endpoint—and a delusion that the goal is to be superior to others.

Strive to be better. The person you’re competing with is your past self, and the bar you’re setting is for your future self.
