Le dije a mi madre que no entendía por qué me afectaban tanto las cosas y me contestó “tu mundo es tan pequeño que cualquier cosa que pasa en él es grande”.

I discovered a life hack by accident. A relative insulted me, and I missed it. I just kept being nice to him, so he insulted me again. He ended up stopping the conversation to let me know I was supposed to be insulted. It bothered him that I didn't react. You know what…?

The most manipulative but effective thing I’ve ever done in my life was when I read an article about how children moderate their behavior to protect their self-identity, so if a child believes he’s smart, for example, he’ll intentionally study and try to do well to protect his image of himself.

Anyway, I would pull kids aside with behavioral issues at church and tell them, “David (obviously fake name), you’re such a kind person and such a good listener. I can see that in you. Thank you for always listening.” “Little Annie, thank you for taking such good care of the babies around you. You’re going to be such a good big sister. Can you be in charge of watching Sally?”

They would ALWAYS behave afterward. ALWAYS. Worked like a charm. Morally questionable because it wasn’t initially true, but I kind of willed it into existence. Tbf, I did think that they had that in them or I wouldn’t have tried.

Will publish longitudinal results of this method once my kid is old enough to report back.

Major cheat code for life: Master the art of the fresh start. From a bad morning. From a bad interaction. From a missed workout. From a poor decision. The goal isn't to avoid the fall. It's to shorten the time between the fall and the reset. Fast recovery compounds.

My father is critically ill in hospital in Zimbabwe and our family is raising funds to cover his medical care.

If you’re able to help, we’d be incredibly grateful. If not, please keep him in your prayers and share this post.

Brilliant idea! Next up: Apple randomly reboots your Mac if you're building competing tech, Gmail silently edits your email if you mention rival platforms, and Tesla Autopilot swerves if it detects you're working on self-driving cars.

All in the name of safety, of course. Because malicious actors controlling the world’s operating systems, inboxes and cars would be extremely dangerous!

Wimbledon exists because a lawn roller broke.

In 1877, a small croquet club in southwest London had a money problem. The heavy roller that flattened its lawns, the kind a pony pulled, had broken, and the club could not afford to fix it. It had only picked up lawn tennis a couple of years earlier, as people were losing interest in croquet. So a few members hit on a plan. They would put on a tournament of the new game and charge people to enter.

Twenty-two men signed up. Each paid an entry fee of one guinea, just over a pound, while about 200 people paid a shilling, small change, to watch a final that rain pushed back three days. The whole event made around £10 in profit, and the club finally got its roller fixed.

The man who won it was not even a fan of the game. Spencer Gore, a 27-year-old cricketer, found lawn tennis boring and figured it would never count as a serious sport. He came back the next year, lost in the final, and never played again. He did leave one mark, though. Gore was the first player to charge the net and hit the ball before it bounced, a move that would shape grass-court tennis for more than a century.

That broken-roller fundraiser turned into the oldest tennis tournament in the world, and the only one of the four biggest tournaments still played on grass. The US Open gave up grass back in the 1970s, and the Australian Open followed in the 1980s. Wimbledon held on to the surface the whole sport started out on.

Gore won 12 guineas for his trouble, about £13, plus a silver cup worth twice that. Today the champion walks away with £3 million, and even a player who loses in the very first round takes home £66,000. The crowd has changed too. About 200 turned up for that first final, while the 2025 tournament drew a record 548,770 over two weeks. All of it started with a broken roller and a club that decided to sell tickets.

High-agency is contagious. You spend time around someone who just does things and suddenly your own list of "impossible" tasks starts looking suspiciously possible.
