Tom Hanks shares the best advice he’s ever received
“Throw deep. If you’re gonna do it, do it”
“If you have the chance, do it. Don’t pause. If you’ve got an instinct, go at it”
🚨 JUST IN: Elon Musk endorses Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe's proposal to EXECUTE Henry Nowak's killer — Vickrum Digwa — and to CRIMINALLY CHARGE the officers who allowed his murder, plus deporting the killer's family
ELON: "It is this or death." 💯
LOWE: "Keeping this savage alive serves nobody. The police officers on the scene who allowed Henry to die will face criminal charges for gross negligence manslaughter. Digwa's foreign family will be deported."
"Laws will change, the country will change, everything will change. Order will be restored, the law will be restored. Britain will be restored." — @RupertLowe10
Britain needs major change, ASAP!
Officially 1 month since I switched to a flip phone.
- Everyone is more severely addicted to their smartphones than I thought. Once you have a dumbphone, you'll frequently find yourself as the only person in the room not on their phone. It's not just teenagers, it's parents and adults of all ages. It's like everyone is stuck in a trance. 75+ year olds might be the only exception.
- All the objections I previously had for getting a dumbphone have turned out to be overblown and/or solvable. My iPhone addiction had fed my brain excuses to not do this earlier. If you really want to make the switch, you can.
- I've felt embarrassed to pull out my flip phone in public at times, for fear of being different or drawing too much attention to myself. But I have learned to just own up to it. Most people end up saying something like "Oh, I probably should do that too."
- I am using my brain more. Even though my flip phone has Waze, I find myself memorizing maps and roads. I'm more bored and get lost in my thoughts. I'm using paper and pen more. Increased desire for tangible things > digital things.
Overall, it has been a great experience and I plan on never going back.
In his final moments, Henry Nowak told police officers nine times “I can’t breathe” and four times that he had been stabbed.
In response police officer dragged him across the gravel, handcuffed and read him his rights.
It was the last thing Henry heard before he died.
The two most important goals of a man.
1) Earn JUST enough money to not give a fuck.
2) Find the big passion you'd chase. Daily. For the rest of your life if you didn't give a fuck about money.
Then do that. It's over. You've won. GG. 🤜🤛

Sit down. Read about elves and dragons.
If you can do it for 2 hour a day your brain will turn into a sniper scope of focus.

Scientists measured cardiovascular fitness in 1.2 million 18-year-olds, then followed them for 10-36 years.
The fitter they were, the more likely they were to:
1) score higher on intelligence tests
2) earn a university degree
3) reach a higher-status job
Do your cardio.
I just had the craziest experience at the airport.
We are about to board a flight to Atlanta when the pilot from the incoming plane walks out of the jetway. Guy is probably late 50s, salt and pepper hair, military look. The kind of pilot you instantly feel good about seeing on your flight.
Pilot walks over to the counter, gets on the PA system, and starts addressing everyone. “Folks, I’ve been doing this a long time. Flying one of these jets is easy. The hard part is looking at 130 people and telling them their flight is going to be delayed.”
Audible groans throughout the boarding gate. Most people here are flying to Atlanta as a layover before another flight. 130 people just had their day become a complete mess.
The pilot goes on. “I get it, trust me. But here’s the deal: During our landing, we had a small mechanical issue. I’m not your pilot for the next leg, but I don’t feel confident the jet’s safe to fly until we have a mechanical team look it over, and I don’t feel comfortable asking the next pilots to fly you guys until we get confirmation.”
He points at the agents next to him behind the counter: “Now, none of this is the agents’ fault. Please be kind to them. I’m the one who made this decision, not them, so any inconvenience you experience is my fault. Just please know that I don’t do this lightly, and I’m only doing it because I believe it’s in the best interests of everyone’s safety.”
Now this is where the story gets crazy. The pilot puts the microphone down, grabs his suitcase, and all the people in the gate…
Start clapping.
I’m not joking, everyone starts clapping for the guy. 130 people who just had their travel plans ruined give an ovation to the guy who made the decision and delivered the message.
All because he addressed them with decency and transparency, took ownership of the decision, made it clear that it was necessary, and explained why it was in everyone’s best interest.
It’s honestly one of the best examples of strong communication—of strong leadership, for that matter—that I’ve seen in a long time.
@Delta, whoever your Atlanta to Wichita pilot was this morning, he’s one of the good ones. Please tell him the delayed passengers of flight 1637 appreciate what he did.
Novak Djokovic just said being bored is the most creative state a child can be in.
His son is 10 and his daughter is 7.
He says when his son told him he was bored after a morning of ping pong, kayaking, and soccer, he sat him down for a conversation most parents avoid.
"It's okay to be bored sometimes. When you're bored, it doesn't mean that you have to instantly take a book or a screen. You need to also learn how to be with your thoughts."
Djokovic says boredom is when creativity finally shows up, and it's also when everything you have been suppressing through your phone comes to the surface.
Most parents are protecting their kids from the only state that grows them.
