A boss looks for reasons to say no. A leader looks for reasons to say yes.

A boss issues orders and demands loyalty. A leader gives direction and takes responsibility.

A boss expects to be the most important person in the room. A leader makes everyone feel important.

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

Things that Schools should teach: 🧠

• Being wrong is not a bad thing.
• It's Okay to question what you have been taught.
• Grades aren't as valuable as skills.
• Understanding is more important than memorization.
• Making mistakes is Okay. Learn from your mistakes.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

In a changing world, expertise quickly becomes obsolete without humility and curiosity.

Expertise is what you know. Humility is knowing what you don’t know. Curiosity is how much you want to learn.

Expertise yields insight today. Humility and curiosity fuel growth tomorrow.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Wisdom doesn’t come from experience. It comes from reflecting on experience.

Between ages 25 and 75, the correlation between age and wisdom is zero.

Gaining insight and perspective is not about the number of years you've lived. It's about the number of lessons you've learned.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Changing your mind is not a sign of losing integrity. It's often a mark of gaining wisdom.

Realizing you were wrong doesn't mean you lack judgment. It means you lacked knowledge.

Opinions are what you think today. Growth comes from staying open to revising your views tomorrow.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

It's better to be the wisest person in the room than the smartest.

People prove their intelligence by showing what they know. They reveal their wisdom by integrating what everyone knows.

Intelligence can be used to advance personal agendas. Wisdom guides groups to shared goals.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Toxic cultures define success as winning a cutthroat competition. They reward people for stabbing others in the back.

Healthy cultures define success as making a contribution. They reward people for having others’ backs.

Good organizations elevate those who elevate others.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Owning up to your mistakes doesn’t cast doubt on your credibility. Admitting you were wrong shows that you care about getting it right.

Recognizing moments of bad judgment is a step toward demonstrating good judgment.

Issuing a correction is a mark of intellectual integrity.

Quite a few people have contacted me after my last post on my @SIUEBaseball training program for what my progression was. Here is a brief example that demonstrates my braking framework and acceleration progressions. More detailed breakdown over on my Instagram.

@SIUEBaseball progressing our resisted accels and COD from chain sprints and 505/10-5 to bulletbelt resisted 10 yd sprints release to 505 COD to increase the rate of decel and progress our loaded jumps from ECC braking RFD and force at zero velocity to reactive CON RFD 💪

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

• Stupidity:
You think you know everything, without questioning.

• Intelligence:
You question everything you think you know.

Ed Reed on Leadership and doing the little things.

“We ain’t winning if y’all don’t do the little things”

[Ledsreact @Ledsreact]

In cooperation with @coachjamisonHPC we've created a RTP framework as we've noticed that the effective use of available technology while making RTP decisions, is often not touched upon as we see that in a vast majority of cases, players are barely/not exposed to a chaotic aspect.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Confirmation bias is twisting the facts to fit your beliefs. Critical thinking is bending your beliefs to fit the facts.

Seeking the truth is not about validating the story in your head. It's about rigorously vetting and accepting the story that matches the reality in the world.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

In toxic cultures, people are rewarded solely for individual results. How they treat others is ignored.

In healthy cultures, people are valued for collective contributions. Pay, performance, and promotions depend on elevating others.

If you're an asshole, you're not a success.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Insecure arrogance: "I have all the answers. Only I can fix it."

Confident humility: "I have many questions. We need to study what broke it."

The people to trust are not the ones who project the most confidence. They’re the ones who know the limits of their competence.

[Pratik Patel @PratikxPatel]

When we sleep cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) washes in and out of the brain (pulses in waves)

These waves look to wash out unnecessary proteins & other debris to help clear out any toxins (build-up)

Brain health and sleep are strongly correlated
