Roger Federer dropped some real wisdom in his Dartmouth commencement speech:
He won nearly 80% of his 1,526 professional matches, but only 54% of the points he played.
Even one of the greatest tennis players of all time lost almost half his points.
His lesson: Don’t dwell on every mistake. A double fault, a lost point, even a bad day, it’s just one point. The champions move on quickly with the same focus and fire for the next one.
This is one of the best mindset lessons I’ve heard in a long time. It applies way beyond tennis.
Life is full of losses and setbacks. The difference between average and exceptional is how quickly you reset and keep playing.

The problem with Michigan weather:
Summer and fall are unbeatable and unreplicable.
You can move away to a warmer climate. I did.
But it's not the same.
Not the same cool breeze. Not the same sound the wind makes moving through the trees. Not the same pine smell. The grass feels and smells different.
So you can leave, and miss all that. Or you can stay, and put up with rest of it. The cold, the clouds, the mud and snow. And find something good in that, too. I did.

There’s a sandy slope in Michigan that leads to a lake . Problem is it’s about 450 ft high . Most people make it down but getting up is a challenge . So much so that it can cost up to 3000 dollars to be rescued back up the hill ..
One of the two known videos of Jimi Hendrix playing acoustic (1967) - allegedly, the video was made after a photoshoot where the photographer brought him a special 12-string guitar, strung upside down to adapt to Jimi's left-handed playing.
On this day in 1967, Jimi Hendrix performed a cover of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” at London’s Saville Theatre just days after its release, with Paul McCartney and George Harrison in the audience.
Budapest is one of Europe’s most beautiful cities that still feels slightly underappreciated.
Thermal baths, grand cafés, old bridges, river views, ruin bars, and a Parliament building that looks unreal when it lights up along the Danube.
