We’re aware of some issues accessing WhatsApp. We’re actively working on a solution and starting to see a return to normal for most people. We expect things to be back to normal shortly.

The wind does not apologize for moving leaves on trees.  It is simply being wind.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The person who talks the most is the most likely to become the leader.

Regardless of intelligence and expertise, groups elevate those who command the most airtime.

It's time to stop rewarding people for dominating the discussion, and start valuing quality over quantity.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

We haven’t lost the capacity to pay attention.

179 studies, 32 countries: on tests of concentration from 1990 to 2021, children didn’t decline—and adults actually improved.

When we want to focus, we can. Our distraction issues are a matter of motivation, not ability.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

It’s often overlooked that MLK’s dream was divisive in his day.

Resistance is not a signal of failure. It’s often a clue that you’re ahead of your time. Visions for change elicit opposition from defenders of the status quo.

Rocking the boat is a precursor to progress.

How to spot high agency people:

1. Weird teenage hobbies - Teenage years are the hardest time to go against social pressures. If they can go against the crowd as a teenager, they can go against the crowd as an adult.

2. Energy distortion field - If you meet with them when you're tired and defeated, you leave the room ready to run a marathon on a treadmill with max incline. Low agency people do the opposite.

3. Golden question - If you're in a 3rd world prison cell and had to call someone to get you out, who would you call? That's the highest agency person you know.

4. You can never guess their opinions - The boxer that writes poetry. The advertiser obsessed with the history of war. The beauty queen who reads Nietzsche. If their beliefs don't line up with their stereotypes, they've exercised agency.

5. Immigrant mentality - If they've moved from their hometown, that's a good sign. If they've moved from their home country, that's an even greater sign.

It takes agency to spot you're in the wrong place, resourcefulness to operationalise a move and a growth mindset to start from zero in a new location.

6. They send you niche content - Low agency people look at the social engagement of content before deeming its quality. High agency people just look at the content. They spot upcoming trends very early.

7. Mean to your face but nice behind your back - The social incentives are to be nice to people's faces and gossip behind their backs. To do the opposite requires agency because they're swimming against the social tide.

Strong relationships don’t need agreement. They need alignment.

Agreement is having identical opinions. Alignment is having shared values.

Agreement is taking the same path. Alignment is heading in the same direction.

Closeness is a matter of commitment, not consensus.
