The final voicemail left by 38-year-old Lauren Grandcolas for her husband, Jack, from aboard United Flight 93 on September 11, 2001.
She was three months pregnant with the couple’s first child.
I understand that there are people who were born after this horrific day. What I don't understand is how you can listen to a voicemail like this and not feel a visceral reaction.
GRAPHIC WARNING ⚠️
8:46 a.m. People started jumping.
Networks had the footage and chose not to air Americans choosing the fall over the flames.
For 25 years the word Islam was treated as an offense. The Videos were “too graphic.” The facts stayed off the air.
@SteveBakerUSA Sad to see such despicable comments. I hope in your underwhelming life you can find some accomplishment. Today you showed the world your are worthless in the richness of compassion and dignity.
A MIT professor gave a 1-hour lecture in 2019 that has 18 million views.
He died 5 months after recording it.
It was his final gift to the world.
Patrick Winston taught at MIT for 50 years.
The smartest engineers on earth sat in his classroom.
And he spent his last lecture teaching them the one skill their degrees never covered.
How to speak.
15 lessons that will change how you communicate forever:
Never open with a joke. Your audience is not ready to laugh yet. Open with a promise of what they will know by the end.
Your ideas are like your children. You are too close to them. What is obvious to you is invisible to everyone else. Explain the obvious.
The 5-minute rule: the first 5 minutes of any talk determine whether people will listen for the next 55. Spend more time on your opening than anything else.
Repeat your most important idea 3 times in 3 different ways. Once is never enough.
Build a fence around your idea. Tell people what it is NOT before you tell them what it IS.
Verbal punctuation. Pause. Let the idea land before moving to the next one.
Ask questions nobody will answer. Then wait 7 seconds. The silence is not awkward. It is processing.
Never read your slides. Your audience can read. They cannot listen and read simultaneously.
Use the board not the slides. Writing forces you to slow down. Slowing down forces clarity.
Inspire before you inform. Nobody learns from someone they are not inspired by.
End with a contribution not a summary. Tell them what you gave them. Not what you said.
Never say thank you at the end. It is weak. End with something that lands.
Stories make ideas stick. Data makes ideas understood. You need both. In that order.
The quality of your communication determines the quality of your ideas in the eyes of the world. Not the ideas themselves.
Practice is not preparation. Practice IS the skill.
Patrick Winston understood something most people spend their entire careers missing.
Your ideas are only as powerful as your ability to transfer them into someone else's mind.
You can be the smartest person in the room and be completely invisible.
Or you can master communication and make average ideas feel like breakthroughs.
He chose to spend his last lecture teaching this.

🚨🚨 WATCH: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange tells Megyn Kelly that the reason his organization has never released any damaging materials on President Trump is that “There is no dirt to release on Donald Trump.” He is probably the most squeaky clean individual in Washington because he is not a career politician or a product of the globalist cabal of elites. Julian Assange is a hero for EXPOSING to the world THE TRUTH about Hillary Clinton and saving us from her planned destruction of America and the world order as we know it. Trump is the greatest existential threat to the globalist uni-party cabal… They have absolutely nothing on him and he has everything on them. In other words, he has “all the cards” to checkmate the Deep State. God Bless Julian Assange, a years-long former political prisoner, and Thank God he is finally free at last.
🚨 JAW-DROPPING TRUTH FROM STEPHEN MILLER: "This was the plan all along - to get them here illegally so they can get free government benefits, get hooked to welfare and be able to participate in American elections. This was an attack on democracy by the Democrat Party!"
"The Biden admin devised a scheme to fly illegal aliens into the country and then to escort them en masse across the border by the millions and to give them something known as 'parole,' which gives them a work permit, which gives them a social security number, which gives them access to the VOTING BOOTH."
Do you support Stephen Miller on this?
YES or NO?
IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!
🚨BREAKING: Greg Gutfeled GOES HAYWIRE after Jessica Tarlov sets him off!
"We had dozens of American deaths where YOU DIDN'T SAY SH*T." 🔥
"I’m absolutely BORED by this. I’m bored by the Nazi stuff, bored by the 'concerned' people in the media that weren't concerned when innocent women were R*PED AND M*RDERED, who didn’t CARE about the 57 who died under Obama!"
"You deserve NO attention on this. You deserve NO credibility on this!"
"It seems like you're ready for another one. You had Renee Good, that went for a couple of weeks. You had this guy, went for a week or so. You're gonna need a third one!"
"I don't care about any of this performance anymore, Jessica. It's done. And you know what? Neither does Trump. People are voting for the law. They want the law."
What's your response to this......??👀
Do you firmly support Greg Gutfeled on this?
A. Huge Yes
B. No
IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!!
MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON 𝕏. LET’S GO 👏
@WhiteHouse@realDonaldTrump please help the Iranian People and help remove terror biggest prophet from power and let his people determine his fate. #bombiran
HOLY CRAP! Tim Burchett is GOING OFF this morning over how BAD insider stock trading is in DC. I have NOT seen him this FIRED UP like this ever before.
"You know, everybody talks about this place being a dadgum swamp. It's NOT a swamp. A swamp is something cool God created. It filters water, animal life lives and flourishes around it."
"[Washington DC] is a SEWER and it needs to STOP."
"Everybody wants to knock Pelosi. Heck, she's not even in the TOP 10... This body has been enriching itself on the taxpayers’ money."
"This place is as CROOKED as a dog’s leg."
"Let’s quit with this nonsense. Let’s give America a reason to trust Congress for once in our MISERABLE lives. This is our chance to STAND UP and say we hear what you’re saying, we are going to fix this dadgum problem, but probably won’t do it and I’ll remained ticked off the rest of the day because of this and it needs to STOP."
I wish EVERY LAST member of Congress had this kind of visceral reaction to the American people getting F*CKED.
Godspeed @timburchett, I will pray for your sanity.
@JessicaTarlov@TheFive was highly insensitive and acted as an apologist for this murderous liberal. Her apology at the end is hollow. If this was her child,her brother, or her husband would she have made the comments?
@HaroldFordJr is a way better of a person!
If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
This is an assault.
On every single one of us who refused to bow to leftist facism.
This is a direct attack on Christianity.
This is a direct attack on civil liberties.
This is a direct attack on Nationalism.
This is a direct attack on conservatives.
They dont want to talk about the fact that their rhetoric caused this.
We are not murdering people.
Leftists are.
We are re-living the 60s.
The tides have turned.
Examples need to be made.
Their hate will be their downfall.
They have become the hate they claim to fight.
Justice will be swift.
The call to action is to get involved.
Join the movement.
This is NOT going away.
We do not make peace with those who commit evil acts of murder and violence.
We do not make peace with those who celebrate the targeted violent murder of children in the name of trans rights.
We do not make peace with evil, we destroy it.
Justice is now.
